The start of a new year is an excellent time to evaluate and set goals for yourself and your business. But with most new year’s resolutions being abandoned by the end of January, what can you do to stick to your goal? With personal goals, it’s important to get started on the right foot, the same is true with our professional goals. Get started in the best way with these best steps.

The Best Goals

The process of reaching your goals starts with setting the right goal. Your goal should be reasonable and attainable. This doesn’t mean that your goal shouldn’t push the boundaries, but your goal shouldn’t be so out of reach that it cannot be attained. When your goals are realistic, your team morale gets a needed boost and the encouragement needed to tackle the next goal.

The Best Assets

Ensuring you have the proper assets is vital to reaching your goals. RemTech works with you to assist in equipment procurement and installation, as well as validation and qualification. RemTech consultants specialize in construction and project management to maximize your space in the most effective manner.

The Best Team

Your team is your greatest asset and by adding a consultant, that team becomes even stronger. When you hire a RemTech consultant, you have an experienced professional working with your team. Our consultants are skilled project managers that can oversee your project while allowing your full-time employees the freedom to focus on daily tasks.

Reaching your goals starts with taking the best steps. Having realistic goals, the proper equipment, and a strong team to reach those goals are crucial to your success. Start with RemTech and start on the best path to success.

This year, we want to take a moment out of this busy season to wish you a happy holiday! It’s easy to get distracted this time of year. There are parties to plan, food to cook, presents to buy, and a seemingly unending list of other things striving for our attention. But with all the possible distractions, it’s essential to focus on the things that really matter.

This is a time to connect with friends and family. To let our traditions and backgrounds shine. A time to make a meaningful impact on our communities. A time to reflect on what is truly important to us. However you celebrate, we hope this season is meaningful and joyful for you and your loved ones.

Happy Holidays from RemTech!

If you have ever completed a jigsaw puzzle, you know that satisfying feeling when you place the last piece of the puzzle down. Sliding the piece across the table, the gentle snap as it falls into place, the feeling of completion as you admire the finished puzzle. Sometimes when you are organizing a project it can feel like putting together a puzzle. Putting a team together, planning new construction, and balancing your budget and scope, there are many pieces to your puzzle. When you add a RemTech consultant to your project, you find the missing piece to completing your project.

The Team

When you are putting together a team for a new project, a RemTech consultant is an invaluable resource. Our consultants have experience in various industries and are accomplished project managers. A consultant can make a difference for your team by allowing your existing employees to focus on the day-to-day tasks while the consultant tackles the added responsibilities of the new project.

New Construction

When planning a new construction project, our consultants work as your representative. We work with engineering firms and contractors as well as trade workers and specialty services to ensure your building meets all state and local building codes.

Budget and Scope

Balancing your budget and the scope of your project can sometimes seem impossible. At RemTech, our consultants can help you lay out reasonable and attainable expectations for your project and set a budget to make those plans a reality.

Finding the missing piece to your project is as easy as contacting RemTech. Our consultants are prepared to assist your project in a variety of capacities. Contact us today to finish your puzzle!

When you start a new project, having a good team can make all the difference. Your team sets the tone for the project. Ensuring that the project stays on schedule and within budget can rely on good teamwork. When you add a RemTech consultant to your team, you can be confident that our experienced project managers are the right people for your project.

The Right People

When starting a project, using one of your regular full-time employees to manage that project may seem like the obvious choice. When you assign that task to an existing employee, you have to consider that employee’s current workload. If that employee is focusing on the new project, you may need someone to manage his or her normal responsibility. To solve this, a consultant can be brought in to manage the new project. This enables your full-time employees to continue focusing on their responsibilities while an experienced project manager completes your new project.

For the Right Project

Each project that RemTech’s consultants manage has its own set of unique challenges. Our consultants have experience in a wide variety of industries and specialties and are equipped to handle any challenge that may arise. Our consultants support each other through shared knowledge and teamwork. This teamwork places us in a position for success with every project we manage.

Having the right team can determine the success of a new project. When you hire a RemTech consultant to manage your project you can rest assured that your team will be led by an experienced professional that knows the ins and outs of the industry. Partner with RemTech today and you will see how teamwork can make your dream work. Contact us today!

There are many ways that we can obtain knowledge but there is an old proverb that says “Experience is the best teacher.” When you are planning a new project, knowledge and experience are key factors to consider for your team. Though there are differences, these two aspects often go hand in hand.

Knowledge

When we think of knowledge, formal schooling is often the first thing we consider. Staying knowledgeable on a subject is vitally important in engineering fields. As technology advances, RemTech consultants strive to stay on the cutting edge to offer our clients the best services possible. Our consultants have the education needed to distinguish us from other consultants.

Experience

When knowledge is put to practical use, experience is the result. Though experience is sometimes hard-won, it is a valuable asset to a Project Manager. At RemTech, our consultants have years of experience working on different projects and that experience grows each day.

Working Together

So how do these two aspects work together? By combining real-world experience with up-to-date knowledge, you get the perfect mix for your team. And there is no better example than our Project Managers here at RemTech. Our consultants use the knowledge they have gained in various fields and years of on-the-job experience to support and manage your project.

At RemTech, our consultants and Project Managers can take your project to the next level. Contact us today to get started!

As your business grows and changes, the needs of that business will change as well. As new projects, expansions, processes, or regulations vie for your attention, is hiring a consultant right for you? Today we will look at some reasons to hire a consultant and what to consider when looking for a consultant.

Why Do You Need to Hire a Consultant?

There are many advantages to hiring a consultant. Depending on your project, it may make more sense to hire a consultant than to hire a full-time employee. A consultant can be brought in for a specific time that fits your project and budget. Smaller companies may not have the funds to hire a permanent employee with a specific skill set. A consultant will be able to meet that need.

Another benefit to hiring a consultant is that you get an experienced member of your team that can bring in a fresh new perspective. Having someone on your team with an outside perspective can be a valuable asset. A consultant can review your processes and see where improvements can be made.

What to Consider When Hiring a Consultant?

There are many important things to consider when hiring a consultant. The first thing to consider is the consultant’s skill set and knowledge base. It seems like an obvious step but should not be glossed over. By bringing in a consultant, you are looking to add specific skills to your team, so the consultant must reflect those skills.

Another aspect to consider is finding a consultant that has quality recommendations. Understanding the roles they have filled in the past can inform you on whether the consultant would be the best fit for your team.

Finding a consultant with the right personality for your team is another thing to consider. This person is going to be a part of your team for the duration of your project so make sure he or she will be a good fit. A common issue that can arise when hiring a consultant is facing resentment from the permanent staff, so ensuring personalities work well together can ease possible conflict.

RemTech consultants have years of real-world experience and an extensive knowledge base that can be put to work for you. Our consultants are tried and tested and have proven themselves time and again. RemTech is a trusted consultant firm with many consultants, so you can be sure to get a consultant that meets the needs of your organization. Contact us today to get started!

Starting a Project: Budget, Scope, and Schedule

To have a fire, there are three things you need, fuel, heat, and oxygen. These three things make up the “Fire Triangle”. Each aspect is reliant on the other two. Without the right amount of each, at the right times, fire is not sustainable. The same is true when creating and managing a project. The “Project Triangle” is comprised of budget, scope, and schedule. Today we will look at these aspects and how they interact with each other.

Budget

When dealing with large projects, setting a budget is a great starting place. Your budget will depend upon the type of project you are working on but there are a few things that you can count on for every project; labor, materials, and supplies. Then there are costs that may be project-specific, like travel expenses, renting a workspace, or hiring consultants.

Scope

As you plan your project a major consideration is the scope of the project. The scope of a project sets the boundaries and expectations of the project. The scope defines what the project will accomplish and how you plan to accomplish it.

Schedule

The scope shows when things are to be done. A project schedule lays out the project’s timeline, including stages, goals, milestones, and checkpoints.

Working Together

As you start your planning process, it becomes apparent that each part of the Project Triangle relies on the other two. If any one of the three triangle “sides” are adjusted you no longer have a complete triangle. If the budget is reduced then that will affect the schedule and the scope. When a timeline is shortened, either the budget will need to be increased or the scope will have to be reduced. If items are added to the scope, then you will need more time and/or more budget to complete the project. These are key points to remember when planning a project and will help you to successfully accomplish your goal.

RemTech has experienced project managers that can construct a Project Triangle that fits your organization and goals. Contact us today to see what we can do for you.

Once again, we are proud to introduce you to another one of our consultants. This month we would like to shine a spotlight on our Director of Engineering, Jason Carpenter.

Since graduating from Tennessee Technological University with a Bachelor of Science in Manufacturing and Industrial Technology, Jason has worked as a Project Engineer in various roles in the pharmaceutical and industrial manufacturing industries. Throughout his career, he has managed multiple construction projects and process improvement projects for different firms. Now, in his position as Director of Engineering for RemTech, Jason focuses on facility and process support for pharmaceutical manufacturing operations.

One of the things that Jason appreciates about his position is the wide variety of projects, locations, and clients that he has the opportunity to work with. While the project types and locations may change, one thing that remains consistent is his approach to each project. The first things that Jason looks at with a new project are organization and communication. Each is vital for any project, without proper organization and communication the project will struggle to stay within the parameters of the scope, schedule, and budget.

Jason is a valuable asset to our organization and he is a leader in his own community. Jason volunteers and holds positions of leadership in multiple organizations in his hometown. While he values his career and the volunteer work that he does, the most important job he has is as a husband and father. He loves spending time camping and enjoying the great outdoors with his family and friends.

At RemTech, we understand that our consultants make us who we are. Jason Carpenter is an indispensable part of our team and brings a unique set of skills to serve our clients. We are proud of our consultants and know that they have the skills and knowledge to lead our clients to success. Contact us today to see what our consultants can do for you!
