Approach:
Investment Coordination Staff attending several Plants (Camaçari/BA, Triunfo/RS, and Paulínia/SP) in order to help with the requirements analysis for investments approval, and portfolio control (CAPEX). Also worked together with the PMO and the Accounting Dept to develop/improve cost control, project planning and control strategies.
Results:
The investment portfolio was big and had low accuracy, I developed tools to improve it (procedures, reports and controls), did a lot of training for the Project Management Staff. In the first year the portfolio accuracy reached 95%. The budget and time forecast accuracy for the projects also improved due consistent and thorough scheduling reviews.
