Project Management

A project goes from product development and engineering to injection moulding, assembly and delivery to your company. At Wicro Plastics, we understand better that anyone that successful project management is essential to realising your business objectives. We make the difference for our customers by using the Stage-Gate Model and having a single dedicated project manager for each project. The structured approach ensures that the process is efficient and the partnership is enjoyable for all involved.

To the last detail: Stage-Gate Model

Whatever the project, nothing escapes our attention and we don’t miss a single detail. At Wicro, we use a tested Stage-Gate Model to manage projects efficiently and ensure their success. The model consists of several stages, each one concluding with a gate review. These reviews assess whether the project has achieved the set criteria before it moves on to the next phase. This ensures that together we make good decisions and that the project’s progress is closely monitored. This avoids risk and enables us to plan with the greatest of care.

Step by step project plan

PHASE 1: QUOTATION

We maintain close contact during this initial step. It’s important to take a good inventory in order to determine which product components are required. We review the plastics needed and select suppliers for other components.

PHASE 2: ASSIGNMENT

You’re happy with the quote and have signed off on it. Our project manager then receives the assignment and everyone’s at the starting blocks ready to begin work on designing your project. The required samples have already been ordered and together we draw up an action list.

PHASE 3: PLANNING

We then create a plan based on the action list. This is a detailed project plan that our project manager tackles with a structured approach. In this phase, all elements and aspects of the project flow together into a cohesive whole.

PHASE 4: PROTOTYPE

Now the fun really starts, because in the prototype phase we work on development. All the components – which we’ve worked on intensively together in previous phases – come together. From mould to master batches and other purchased parts.

FASE 5: PILOT

In the pilot phase the product really takes shape – both literally and figuratively. Testing, optimising and refining… everything comes together, and is assembled into a complete, fully-fledged product. Happy times!

PHASE 6: LAUNCH

Are you satisfied, or even delighted? Then we press the big green button and launch the product together. Mass production can begin, and your product is ready to go on the market. Congratulations!

Your own dedicated project manager

There’s nothing more frustrating than being sent from pillar to post when you’re trying to get things done, so at Wicro we give you a single contact person for the entire project. This project manager is your primary point of contact and co-ordinates all aspects of the project, from initial planning through to final delivery. Appointing a single dedicated project manager means that we collaborate more efficiently and effectively. Communication always goes through that one person. This minimises confusion and promotes streamlined collaboration amongst everyone involved.

Different types of projects

At Wicro Plastics, we’ve been working for customers in various sectors for more than 70 years now. This gives us a broad base of knowledge, flexibility, creativity, and an excellent ability to adapt. Within these diverse industries, we work both with completely new products and with products that have been acquired or newly-developed products, each with their own moulds, procured parts and required assembly line(s). We match our experienced project managers to your project and work with you to make it a success.
