Washington Technology, Deltek And Swales Aerospace To Conduct Free Seminar On Managing Work Breakdown Structures To Increase Project Profitability
The seminar begins with a discussion of the current IT trends and market forces impacting project and organizational performance. Swales Aerospace, an aerospace and engineering services firm headquartered in Beltsville, Maryland, and with operations in California, Virginia and Florida, will explain how the firm is using work breakdown structures (WBS) to make better-informed business decisions and how WBS can help businesses better analyze and increase profitability.
"Increased competition, narrowing margins, consolidation and a host of other market forces are driving companies to analyze profitability at a granular level," explains Rick Lowrey, Deltek Executive Vice President and General Manager, Enterprise Systems Division. "Companies must know where money is being made and where it is being lost."
"By managing work breakdown structures," Lowrey continues, "the profitability of projects can be accessed at any level, inclusive of direct and indirect costs. With robust WBS functionality, companies have the capability to configure their projects with an unlimited number of structures so each program, project, task, phase, sub-task or CLIN can be dissected to ensure in-depth visibility of the profitability of any effort."
