Capital projects are unrecognized production systems that can be modeled, optimized and controlled as such, enabling companies to reduce cost, shorten schedules and ultimately deliver predictable results. Production thinking opens many decisions that project leaders need to make that are not seen through current methods. To that end, Texas A&M University and TEES-EDGE, in partnership with the Project Production Institute (PPI), is offering a two-day introductory course with a goal to enable participants to grasp fundamental production management concepts and principles.
Spaces are limited to 30.

The current project management framework focuses on what needs to be done by who, and when. Rooted in administrative activities, it forms the basis for contracting, contract administration, scheduling, reporting and coordination. At the same time, it ignores how work will be done or production of the work – the very element that creates value. This results in a significant gap which can only be closed by understanding how to design and deploy production aspects of a capital project across engineering, procurement and construction.

Texas A&M University and TEES-EDGE, in partnership with the Project Production Institute (PPI), is offering continuing education to Reinvent The Way We Build. This two-day introductory course enables participants to understand the benefits of adopting Project Production Management (PPM) in capital projects.

Hold My Spot for 5 Days
I'm interested in attending the Next Gen Project Management 2-day course but can't commit today. I understand there are limited spots remaining. Please hold my spot for 5 days so I don't miss out on this valuable event.
