The Long Lead production packages are first for placement of towers, pumps, vessels, exchangers, motors, & some instrumentation. Procurement Administration team members are given a package and/or packages depending on material strengths. (My management skills have instructed PA teams ranging in groups of 4 to 16 individuals). The team members & assigned packages are given the necessary tools and weekly and/or twice a week meetings to discuss current status. Package meetings also will include the package lead engineer, expeditors, project controls, & project planners. Procurement Administration members communicating via email with suppliers, package engineers, & clients are to copy myself, project management, and expeditor. Track schedule production with Project Planning Schedule and Procurement Planning Schedule.
