Transport Project Management

Our global talent bank includes experienced project managers and programme directors who have worked on some of the most challenging transport-related projects. Some of the areas where their support could be invaluable:

Automotive
The automotive industry is a leader in many areas of manufacturing, procurement, product development and logistics. Issues facing this sector include over-production, tightening margins, and rising oil prices. In response, business improvement projects, supply chain streamlining and Six Sigma are some of the many projects and change programmes that must be resourced.

Automotive component suppliers are embarking on major change. The 17,000 or so competitors are expected to decrease tenfold by 2010 in this sector. Mergers and acquisitions will deliver much of this rationalisation which in turn will create huge restructuring challenges for the companies involved.

First-tier automotive suppliers are reinventing themselves as strategic partners - this is altering profoundly the working relationship they have with manufacturers, who in turn are increasingly becoming assemblers.

Public Transport
Companies involved in public transport feature heavily in the regulators' and the public's eye as well as the media. They are grappling with some of the most complex programmes ranging from major capital investment projects, health and safety initiatives and mission-critical CRM programmes through to cost-base restructuring.

With price rises fiercely scrutinised, they cannot be seen to be wasting money. Their hard-hit shareholders expect the head count to be kept to a minimum - yet they are handling intricate projects that must run to time and budget.

We can provide experienced, handpicked, hands-on interim project managers and senior programme directors who have delivered complex projects in the transport sector.

These project managers can be recruited quickly on a temporary or permanent basis. This means project teams can be flexed up and down as and when required - with key skills introduced exactly when they are needed. You keep costs and head count down, and project performance up.
