Manufactuirng Projects As most manufacturing processes include the need for projects to develop new products and the planning and execution activities to initiate the manufacturing, there is a need for development of close relationships between manufacturing and project activities. Also, today's competitive market requires consideration for and implementation of the Lean Manufacturing processes that is frequently supported by Six Sigma, as well as Quality and Risk Management processes. If a manufacturing organization requires use of engineered equipment and material acquisition processes, then control can be greatly improved by a focus on Supply Side planning and control processing. Though PMAC does not have the capability to support such manufacturing project support, there are associate partners that do have that capability.
