Manufacturers may find themselves at the mercy of international OEM suppliers offering unreliable or even inaccurate status reports.  This impacts system Start of Production, resource allocation for that production and, very importantly, product delivery and cash received from the manufacturers’ own customers.  HEIKO offers 1099 support to manage these projects including visiting international OEMs to verify and document the true status and proactively resolve issues before they become problems. 

Advantage 1 – Flexibility Outsourcing project management does not impact your headcount. There is no need to pull production engineers from their duties, no need to search for and hire full-time managers and no need to lay off those managers when they are not needed. HEIKO offers the flexibility of calling for project management as little or as much as needed.

Advantage 2 – International Experience With deep experience in international project management, HEIKO is adept at learning and working with national cultures, corporate cultures and personal cultures.

Advantage 3 – No Politics A contract manager outside the company is free to observe and work independent of corporate politics. Though always communicating tactfully and professionally, HEIKO discusses issues without concern of possibly criticizing someone’s pet project, working for corporate advancement or defending decisions already made.
