- They work directly for the CPM Manager or RMM Manager and with Project Managers of Enterprise Risk projects.
- Anecdotally, when Enterprise Risk Project(s) are refueling outage critical path(s), the MCIS position is leveraged to find ways to save critical path hours (thousands of dollars), reduce outage durations (millions of dollars), and preclude risks coming to fruition that extend outage duration (tens of millions of dollars).
- Review of key project documentation with the intent to identify, where appropriate, strategies can be refined and/or resources can be applied to improve schedule performance, result in better quality, and/or result in a more efficient use of resources.
- Throughout the process of these iterative reviews, identify errors or general misconceptions that need to be corrected for successful project implementation.
