 City
of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power
The City of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power has
a need to improve it's Project Management process, design
a standard project management guideline and identify concerns
and issues not readily evident within various business areas
and entities within the department. Armiger International
spent over one and a half years working with these issues
resolving and improving varied situations as stated in the
following written statement from the Department's Assistant
General Manager.
"During the one and one-half years that PD&C has
used Armiger International (formerly SCI), we have developed
and implemented a Project Management Seminar that all PD&C
engineering managers and supervisors have attended. This training
has been vital in improving the performance of our management
of the over $400 million capital budget that PD&C is responsible
for administering this year alone."
"Due to the overwhelming success of the Project Management
concept, and the seminars presented by Armiger International,
we initiated two additional tasks with Armiger International
in August which included:
- Development and implementation of a Site Construction
Manager Training Program for first-and second-level field
supervisors. The first session was held in September.
- Establishment of two Task Teams consisting of field forces
dealing with inadequacies in the Construction Section's
tool room and warehouse operations. The tool room group
is presently meeting while the warehouse group will meet
in late December or early January.
The additional areas in which Armiger International has been
involved have shown immediate and positive results. Management's
commitment to improve the efficiency and cost effectiveness
of our design and construction activities has been reinforced
with our employees and our clients. This demonstration of management's
comments helps improve morale and spirit within PD&C while
Armiger International is providing essential training for our
employees."
