This eases the flow of information and <br />allows us to provide exceptionally responsive customer service. <br /> <br />Solid track record for on-time delivery: We have an outstanding delivery record, borne of many years refining <br />scheduling tools. Experience tells us that it is important to establish a realistic schedule, identify long lead time <br />and critical-path items, publish and distribute the schedule to all parties, meet regularly to monitor developments, <br />develop flexible alternatives, if needed. <br /> <br />Staffing infrastructure: Meeting the schedule often means assigning sufficient project staff at the right time. <br />Each SGM office has a single operations director who constantly monitors project workload and staff resources <br />for all contracts. Weekly capacity reviews avoid critical choke points and permit continual adjustment of staff <br />levels. <br />
