Introduction to Project Management

This three-hour workshop equips participants with a structured, easy-to-understand framework for planning and managing projects.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand how projects are initiated, planned, executed, monitored, and closed
• Contribute more effectively as project team members
• Support or lead small to mid-scale manufacturing projects with confidence
• Apply practical planning and tracking tools appropriate for manufacturing environments
• Capture lessons learned to improve future projects

Why Attend?

Many manufacturing projects fail not because of technical challenges, but because of unclear scope, poor communication, unrealistic timelines, or lack of ownership. This course helps manufacturers:

• Improve on-time and on-budget project delivery
• Reduce confusion around roles, responsibilities, and expectations
• Strengthen cross-functional coordination between operations, maintenance, engineering, and leadership
• Apply simple, proven tools to manage work without adding unnecessary bureaucracy
• Build a shared project language across the organization

Participants leave with a clearer understanding of how structured project management supports operational excellence, continuous improvement, and business performance.

Who Should Attend:

Designed for supervisors, team leads, engineers, continuous improvement staff, and emerging leaders, this program helps participants understand how projects differ from daily operations and why a disciplined project approach improves execution, accountability, and outcomes on the shop floor and beyond.
