DESIGN & PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Transcription

1 AIM recognises that the success of any project depends upon the presence of a robust project management process and structure. In recent years the company has made considerable investment in personnel, infrastructure and systems to improve its project management capabilities. Project Management Our project management personnel have considerable engineering skills and project experience. This is supported by the senior management team, with significant experience gained from many successful projects in a wide range of industries. AIM is expert in the use and customisation of Microsoft Project and Excel spreadsheets, which it fully utilises in the control of the projects providing efficient and accurate reporting. AIM also has linked project control, cost control and payroll management into one bespoke web server software package called Progress Plus. Progress Plus enables the Project Manager to determine project spends in real time while at the same time tracking earned value against budget/order value. The company has a reputation for completing challenging projects on time and meeting customer quality requirements at competitive prices. Site Services AIM s involvement and commitment doesn t end once our equipment is in operation. Once we have handed over the installations, our engineers are always ready to assist with training, servicing, PPM and offer fast and skilled maintenance and site support. AIM has the resources to deploy and support projects worldwide.

2 Machining AIM offers a wide range of manufacturing capabilities within the AIM group. Our Glossop site is an 18,000 sq ft pupose built machining shop, with machines ranging from manual milling machines, lathes, Cnc lathes, Cnc routing and full 5 axis machining centres which includes 2 Correa fully 5 axis machines with a machine scope of 11.5 metres. All of our Cnc machining centres are fully supported by cad/cam and are controlled and run by our very experienced programming team. MANUFACTURING & ASSEMBLY Jig and tool manufacture 3 axis and 5 axis machining Conventional, milling/turning Jig boring Inspection and quality department Cad-cam suite with 4 software seats Assembly AIM has progressed from manufactured small assembly tools, to manufacturing large aircraft and automotive assembly jigs and lines, with the capability of handling large high precision structures of up to 40 metres. Due to our extensive 80,000 sq ft facility at our Wythenshawe site, all our jigs and fixtures can be pre-assembled here, offering customer buy-off before pre-delivery. Extensive Assembly Area 60 tonne cranes Laser Trackers Painting and Spraying facilities Pre-delivery Buy off

3 FABRICATION Our Wythenshawe site houses a large fabrication area within our extensive 80,000 sq ft facility it also has the useage of 60 tonne overhead cranes, 8 metre under-hook. The fabrication area comprises in excess of 10 large welding bays with the capability to fabricate large structures of up to 40 metres in length. Our fabrication site uses established procedures and coded welders (coded to bs 4872 part 1) enabling them to weld a variety of materials which include aluminium, carbon steel and stainless steel.
