SERVICES
The problem.
The environment is on everyone’s mind these days. Driven by everyday media, green thinking is
everywhere, from the boardroom to individual lives. We’re all trying to figure out how to preserve
and protect our natural resources. Major government groups and public opinion are pressuring
businesses to pitch in and join this movement. The goal is for all organizations to better understand
and act so that their work and products can more positively impact the environment. What is your
company doing in this regard?
Results are ubiquitous. Regulations that monitor emissions and environmental impact are multiplying
in number. Often they’re not fully understood by companies until they find themselves subject to
hefty fines and hearty mandates
How our services can help.
At EPCM Professional Services Partners, we are well versed in environmental regulations and are able
to provide solutions based on our vast experience and network of partners. We will work with you to
not only identify current issues but also anticipate the future and provide advice to enable you to
confidently move forward into tomorrow. We can help you track, analyze, and manage complicated
regulatory processes and attain voluntary environmental objectives.
Would you like to educate your customers and be known as a progressive company? You can’t do it
conducting business as usual. We can show you how you may be leaving money on the table by not
branding yourself as a forward-looking company. Contact us and we’ll lead you into the future.
What we offer:
• Carbon Footprint Analysis
• Regulatory Compliance Assistance
• GHG Emissions Management and Compliance
• ISO 14001 Support
• AB32 GHG Verification
• Design and implementation of environmental management systems
2. PLANNNING AND SCHEDULING
The problem.
Project and program management is much more than assigning tasks and updating schedules.
How our service can help.
The extra “return-on-experience” of our consultants, most of whom are certified as Project
Management Professionals, can bring skills to your business that you will not find in typical project
managers. Their on-time execution of the Project Life Cycle, “thought leadership,” business acumen,
and change adoption skills can ensure that disparate groups of stakeholders efficiently engage and
focus on desired business results so that long term benefits are realized.
Do you have a need to manage software integration projects? We can provide the technical skills and
more, including the business acumen to assess the working environment and guide your company to
change with it. We have the extensive experience in industrial project management, shutdown,
turnaround and outage (STO), and the business consulting backgrounds needed to support success.
Our consultants have experience working with all levels of stakeholders in client organizations. These
are people you can trust – people you can put in front of the business, IT, or executive management
with confidence.
3. POWERFUL PROCESSES AND TOOLS
The problem.
Using the right process with the right tools is invaluable to solving problems.
3 Ways our services can help:
Integrated Document Management
EPCM-PSP's Change Management methodology focuses on implementing successful change expressly
through change management activities, diagnosing gaps, developing corrective actions, and
supporting managers and supervisors. We work to understand the current environment professionally
and socially so that we are able to construct programs that will work with the different dynamics of
every business.
Constant Project Updates
Our services are augmented by our comprehensive suite of tools and our Shutdown, Turnaround and
Outage estimating standards database to enable our clients to execute projects with the highest
degree of predictability. Our team of consultants and project managers have the experience and
networks of partners that are both reliable and trustworthy. EPCM-PSP is an industry leader in
providing process workflow consulting.
Comprehensive Suite Tools
Our services are augmented by our comprehensive suite of tools and our Shutdown, Turnaround and
Outage estimating standards database to enable our clients to execute projects with the highest
degree of predictability. Our team of consultants and project managers have the experience and
networks of partners that are both reliable and trustworthy. EPCM-PSP is an industry leader in
providing process workflow consulting.
4. SHUTDOWN, TURNAROUND, AND OUTAGE
The problem.
The “sine qua non” of a smooth running operation is effective maintenance. And the key to successful
maintenance is an effective planning effort before the maintenance begins. This holds true regardless
of whether you are planning a shutdown, a minor outage, or even routine maintenance. A shutdown
or outage inevitably results in a production loss, but it can be minimized.
How our service can help.
Using our patented methodology, we can help lead you to realize a positive financial impact that
outweighs the negative of the production loss. Project Schedulers can more efficiently manage the
duration of tasks and priorities enabling project execution to be completed on-time and within
budget. The key is our ability to provide your management teams with relevant reports, which keep
the teams up-to-date on the exact status of the maintenance, and thereby allow shareholders to make
better business decisions. The reports also provide planners and field workers with the confidence to
know their work is being efficiently coordinated and managed.
What we offer:
• Project Management
• Project Planning
• Project Scheduling
• Project Cost Estimating
• STO Workflow Development
• Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) Integration
5. PSP PLANNING ADVATAGE SERVICES
The problem.
A well-built plan is worth far more than a plan that is continually being corrected.
How our service can help.
As with maintenance, our portfolio of advanced planning services can help you build a plan correctly
from the beginning. Our Certified Project Managers can accomplish this by leveraging industry best
practices, integrating planning tools, and drawing from our historical estimating database. No project
plans or schedules are too large or complex. Our objective is to ensure they are all efficient, cost-
effective, safe, and repeatable.
Our clients can choose from a variety of solutions to streamline their planning process:
• Component Based Estimating™
• Float-Based Prioritization™
• STO Norms Library™
6. CHANGE MANAGEMENT
The problem.
In today’s fast-paced world, change has become ‘business as usual.’ Spurred on by the current
economic climate, a changing marketplace, empowered workforce, and technological advances,
change is a force that must be managed. A company that ignores change does so at its own peril.
Change is sometimes the hardest thing to understand for a workforce that doesn't see things as being
broken because the company is still doing business. If employees do not understand the 'big picture'
change may be the only thing that will save their company from its own demise.
How our service can help.
By leveraging our vast experience in Change Management, EPCM-PSP can assist you in building
organizational competency to rapidly and successfully manage change. Our Change Management
methodology focuses on implementing successful change through change-management activities,
diagnosing gaps, developing corrective actions, and supporting managers and supervisors. We work
to understand your current environment professionally and socially so that we are able to construct
programs that work with the unique dynamics of your specific business.
What we offer:
• Communication Planning
• Executing Sponsorship Coaching
• Resistance Management Strategies
• Change Management Methodology
• Reinforcement Strategies
• Team Activities
• Resource Allocation Strategies
• Change Management Deployment Strategies
• Change Management and Project Management Integration
7. MANUFACTURING
The problem.
The manufacturing industry relies on a complex web of inter-dependent departments that must be
aligned to achieve the most efficient output of products. Many companies are organized into
segregated silos that focus only on their specific task. Subsequently, they lose sight of the big picture,
their link in the manufacturing chain. This ‘tunnel vision’ can lead to major problems,
miscommunications between departments within a facility, even between production, customers, and
suppliers. Simply implementing a few Lean Manufacturing initiatives typically will not fix the problem
but rather will shift the problems to other departments or create new issues. Similarly, heeding the
advice of consulting groups who focus on the a quick solution to a problem that the client has already
defined and focused on, will only produce a short-term solution and not address the root cause of the
issues. What’s missing is an initial assessment of the manufacturing environment by an independent
third party. Without it, there’s always the chance that the problem has been wrongly reduced to
“That’s just how we do things,” or “That’s just our cost of doing business.’
How our service can help.
Integrating customer demand analysis with supply chain management, we can help client facilities
pull together and work in unison as a well-trained team rather than a group of individuals. Realizing
there is no one true way to fix many issues within a facility, we do not believe a solution can be
discovered without forming a partnership with our client. We will not prescribe a solution before our
team of experts diagnoses the problem. The only way we can truly impact our client’s organization is
by creating change that is thought out from end-to-end and evolves the organization to a new way of
thinking.
What we offer:
• Lean Manufacturing Techniques
• Value Stream Mapping
• 6 Sigma Consulting
• Process Workflow Assessment and Engineering
• ISO 9000 Implementation and Training
• Supplier Integration Strategies
• Standardized Work Procedures
• Computerized Maintenance Management Systems
• Project Management
