EXAMPLES OF APEX PROJECT ADMINISTRATION:

  • Developed timely recommendations to avoid a large capital investment by coordinating information exchange between company personnel and APEX experts
  • Synchronized activities and schedules between five different external suppliers when building connector prototypes for a large building products company
  • Provided client with an organized design history file, including records of inventions, calculations, and design changes for a newly developed medical connector
  • Identified and resolved project critical paths before engaging team resources, thus negating a hiring decision that was envisioned by client
  • Dramatically reduced time-to-market for a new electromechanical product family by parallel-starting component designs and tool builds, circumventing critical paths
  • Reduced anticipated development costs (dollars, resources, time) for a new product by substituting a simulation analysis step in place of multiple “prototype-build-test” cycles
