Project Management

Optima’s Project management is one of our strongest attributes. Upgrading machines is a complicated business and is seen to carry a high degree of risk; and it’s no wonder. Taking a key production machine out of service, completely changing the control system for a new, bespoke system with modern technology, often with mechanical modifications too, then putting it back into production within a fixed downtime period is risky. We have a 100% success rate…

Optima Control Solutions Ltd. have carried out many hundreds of control system upgrades since 1995, in numerous sectors and with values ranging from low £1,000’s to over £500,000.

Our success in this field is no co-incidence. When customers engage Optima they employ a professional company who’s aim is to deliver our engineering expertise working as an integral part of our customers’ project teams. Technical expertise and a will to succeed achieve maximum effect when combined with competent and pragmatic project management.

Mutual professional respect is essential when co-ordinating, directing and handling sub-contractors. Good working partnerships rely on all parties having appropriate competence, industrial experience and budget and timescale focus. This recognition and careful selection of suppliers accounts for our achievements and our exemplary customer retention record.
