NNS I ) <br /> Historically, our cost and schedule control system has been extremely effective by minimizing design costs as <br /> well as reducing time required to complete projects. Typically, Microsoft Project software is used to track <br /> project performance schedules. <br /> Our cost and schedule control system provides four major benefits to the project: <br /> — It serves as the basis for decision making since there is a single, clearly defined scope of work and <br /> schedule. <br /> — It serves as the basis for reporting.Detailed reports are available for in-house review and the same data is <br /> used for client reports. <br /> — It provides a well-documented, clear record of performance. <br /> — It establishes a base for corrective action evaluations, if required. <br /> CADD CAPABILITY <br /> Virtually all design drawings and exhibits prepared by the Honolulu office are done on CADD systems.The <br /> Honolulu office is equipped with PC computer-aided design and drafting work stations utilizing both Bentley <br /> (Microstation/Inroads) and Autodesk(AutoCAD/Civil 3D) design and drafting software and has personnel on <br /> staff knowledgeable of both systems.Plotting is accomplished via OCE (a Canon Company) electrostatic and <br /> Hewlett-Packard ink jet plotters. <br /> COMMUNICATIONS <br /> The Honolulu office is connected to WSP's Wide-Area Network(WAN) that electronically connects most of <br /> the firm's offices in the U.S. The WAN allows the rapid exchange of documents, drawings, e-mail, and other <br /> data. There are many benefits which can be gained, including expedited decision making, and reduced travel <br /> time and expenses,but most importantly, it is a tool to provide improved services to our clients through <br /> accessibility and efficient communication. <br /> PROJECTSOLVE2(PS2) <br /> One effective method of communicating project information is the use of ProjectSolve®, our proprietary web- <br /> based project management software platform. PS2 has been implemented and successfully utilized by over <br /> 200 clients in the Transportation, Construction,Facilities Management,Telecommunications, Rail, FEMA, and <br /> Program Management industries. It was developed in response to the growing demand for centralized <br /> information management and decision support in the midst of today's decentralized project teams and <br /> distributed production environments. Fast, efficient, user friendly, and easy to deploy,Websites developed <br /> using PS2 allow each project team to consolidate and coordinate information and activities from anywhere in <br /> the world using an Internet connection.We can customize PS2 for specific business practices, offering a <br /> comprehensive array of implementation and support services. <br /> QUALITY CONTROL PRACTICES/TECHNIQUES <br /> We have attained ISO 9001 certification.
