2. PROJECT & LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT
Supply Chain Management (SCM) success hinges on identifying operational requirements, creating sound
action plans, and effectively coordinating with cross functional teams to achieve objectives.
The Challenge: Priceless Artwork - 44’ long Totem Pole located in rural British Columbia needed in Buenos Aires,
Argentina as part of Canadian exhibition.
The Strategy: Attention to detail and accuracy are paramount to success. Careful reading of customer’s requirements
and needs ensures utilizing the right processes, correct cargo handling and safe transport.
3. Critical chain project management (CCPM) is a method of planning and overseeing project execution designed to deal
with uncertainties inherent in managing projects, while taking into consideration limited availability of resources
(geographic location, human skills, as well as management & support capacity) needed to execute projects. A proven
record of success in CCPM is represented through my work in the mining, oil and gas exploration industries.
