proALPHA - Project Management

Download Brochure

The Project Management module like all those in proALPHA is also fully integrated and provides the perfect tool with which to execute those tasks normally associated with a project's creation, management and completion. This multi-user module makes possible interdepartmental processing and collaboration by different functional specialists.

To assist the project team in maintaining the "big picture" relative to goals, participants, resources, schedules and other factors, proALPHA Project Management provides extensive graphics to support project design, network planning and Gantt charts.

The module aids accurate planning of all resources required for a specific project. In this way, bottlenecks, or "collisions" with another project are identified early enough in the process to take appropriate alternative measures.

Project costing contains pre-costing, actual costing, and even a closing date costing program for balance sheet valuations - each with unlimited options. Estimated costs stemming from part and capacity planning flow directly into project costing.

Project Management is a fully integrated component of proALPHA and provides access from any part of the system to all project data. Networked processing is also possible. For example, from the project module, materials planning data can be prepared, or a work order or purchase order could be generated. Existing orders can be moved to other projects.

Integration naturally includes all proALPHA basic services. Using the management information system, managers can access all detailed project data. Workflow ensures an active flow of information between project team members. The Document Management System (DMS) provides efficiency in the administration of all project- specific documents, construction drawings, specifications, and contracts and always ensures their availability to all team members at all times even via the Internet.
