This is why it is a good idea to use GRL-Consulting as an expert and advisor:

A surface treatment plant is one of the most complex production devices in a company.

In order to ensure an optimal choice of line solution, as well as a safe and controlled implementation of the project, it requires a great deal of knowledge and experience within this type of industry.

By working with me as an external expert, advisor, and business partner you can achieve a significant advantage in the utilization of the organization’s own resources. At the same time, you will have security in the process surrounding the plant investment.

Based on my many years of knowledge and experience with process plants within surface treatment, I will help you manage and coordinate the phases around the project and get the investment on target.

Concept development

I have extensive experience in concept development and needs analyses. This is essential for the final solution to achieve the optimum ratio between price and function.

With my broad and long experience in analyzing plant needs of customers, selecting processes, designing concepts and layouts, running projects and implementing plants, I will be a valuable resource in your process.

I will be a sparring partner in the phases from start to finish, or in partial phases. From the definition of facilities and processes and on through the offer assessment, the project phase and finally through construction and commissioning.

Resource optimizing

I step into the whole – or parts of – the project and can release internal resources, so that your own project managers have time for their core tasks.

Time must be spent on specifications, reconciliation of expectations for mechanical and electrical interfaces, and coordination between schedules. Everything must be agreed on and coordinated – and preferably before the order is placed.

A time challenge most often comes into play. The time frame from the investment being considered until the plant is in production can span over a longer period of up to 18-24 months. Without external help and support, the resource drain on the organization will be extra-large and pose a challenge for most.

Facilitation

Through my extensive knowledge of suppliers and products, I can help facilitate a good collaboration throughout the entire project process.

Project planning and construction of surface treatment plants includes many suppliers, and often more than 10 throughout the total project time. In order to get all stakeholders to play together, knowledge, experience and, not least, time and planning are required.

The vast majority of suppliers of lines, equipment and consumables are really skilled and good to spar with, but they will also have a number of questions that you must be ready to answer and deal with.

And this is where I can help: With GRL-Consulting on board, you have a professional link between the ordering party and the many suppliers, and thus a more safe, simple and secure implementation of the entire project.

Project management

Project meetings and follow-up are time-consuming for your internal resources. I participate in these meetings, follow up and coordinate deliveries from the suppliers.

I am your sparring partner and additional resource in each of the many phases of the plant’s creation. Phases that all require attention and decisions, and where especially follow-up almost always takes longer than you think.

Risk minimizing

As an external expert and advisor, a large part of my main task is to minimize the risk of errors and delays in the project process.

With my extensive knowledge of the industry, suppliers and technology, you get a professional resource and sparring partner with an overview and know-how.

No one will be able to guarantee that problems will never arise, or mistakes never happen – but I can promise that the risk of it and the seriousness of them will be greatly reduced.
