Reducing factory project costs & timescales – PPMA 2011

Effective management, control and communication of factory design changes reduce project costs and timescales. CAD Schroer and WSP CEL team up to provide integrated technology and expertise

Cambridge, UK and Pittsford, NY – 24 August 2011:
Engineering managers tackling factory projects in changing markets must deliver new production lines quickly and cost-effectively. From 27-29 September, engineering software provider CAD Schroer and its customer WSP CEL team up for the third year running to present software and services designed to meet that goal:

From Factory Layout Software to Full Project Management

WSP CEL, the global engineering and environmental consultancy, regularly undertakes projects with CAD Schroer’s MPDS4 software:

MPDS4’s modular, database-, rules- and standards-driven 2D/3D design environment offers consistency and interference checking tools for high quality results, avoiding expensive mistakes during construction. Automated routing tools for everything from conveyor and steel design to P&ID-driven piping cut project times. Exported “pocket-sized” factory designs can be e-mailed to all stakeholders for independent walk-through reviews, with changes easily made in a version-controlled manner and communicated in 3D.

“We can support anyone involved in designing, building, adapting, expanding, moving or consolidating process lines or factories,” says CAD Schroer’s Technical Sales Manager Bill Wilkins. “Together with WSP CEL, we offer everything from the design software to full capital project management.”

WSP CEL’s Head of Business Development, Stephen Taylor, adds, “Our consultancy services range from concept design through construction to commissioning, bringing to bear extensive project experience in the biotech, pharma, food, FMCG, energy, industrial and chemical sectors. We can augment client teams, or take on complete projects. CAD Schroer’s software provides us with great flexibility on the design side, making communication of changes easy and immediate, with effective 3D engineering review and visualisation tools. Its multi-user, multi-disciplinary approach means that we can simultaneously work on designs with client teams.”

The tools used to carry out, control and communicate factory design changes have a huge impact on project costs and timescales. By offering flexible engineering software and expert consultancy services tailored to individual requirements, CAD Schroer and WSP CEL help to ensure project success.

Cycling for change - an unusual anniversary project

For CAD Schroer’s 25th anniversary, our employees are pedaling knowledge: For 25 days, staff are getting on their bikes to raise money for child education in Africa

The company donation will go to Menschen für Menschen, a foundation set up to provide integrated development projects in Ethiopia: http://en.menschenfuermenschen.com/

CAD Schroer Head of Training Markus Bertram has inspired colleagues by taking his bike to Denmark, where he is running a PDM training course. “I started my ‘Tour de Danmark’ on the very first Monday, clocking up 56km. It’s the first time I’ve cycled to a customer site, and it’s just brilliant. I’m really getting to know the area, rather than just zooming past in a car. I’ll definitely be doing this again.”

Marco Destefani, Regional Director in Italy, has traded his Vespa for a bike. He’s been stopping by his local garage to advertise the good cause. “A campaign that helps children in Ethiopia, as well as saving petrol – it’s a double benefit!” he enthuses.

CAD Schroer, founded in Germany on the 25th of June 1986, has offices in the UK, USA, Switzerland, France, Italy, and the Benelux. The company, which develops and supplies engineering software and services to manufacturers and plant designers, regularly supports the next generation of engineers through apprentice programs, and also offers software-specific training. The Ethiopian schools campaign is a chance for CAD Schroer to spread its passion for education.

“On the 25th of June, we started a 25 working day campaign, during which employees log every kilometre cycled to and from the office. Our goal is to rack up enough kilometres to fund the primary school education of at least 80 Ethiopian children, while cutting our carbon footprint, promoting a healthier lifestyle, and having some serious fun,” says the company’s founding Director Michael Schroer. “Some staff members live a long way from the office, but even partial journeys will count. The campaign may also persuade people to make more of a habit of cycling to work in the future.”

“We just love this campaign,” says Astrid Merkl of Menschen für Menschen. “It’s creative, it’s green, and it will help change the lives of children in Ethiopia - one of the poorest countries on Earth, where 40% of youngsters never get the opportunity to learn how to read, write or do basic arithmetic. We all know that education is the route out of poverty, and poverty has consequences that affect us all.”

The results of the initiative will be revealed on July 28th at CAD Schroer’s anniversary celebrations. “Education is the key to personal and community development. We support local and international programs, and hope that this challenge inspires our staff and the people around us,” says Michael.
