Over more than 20 years DieselGas has managed projects
in every continent of the world. All of the work DieselGas
has undertaken for the past 18 years has been undertaken
for companies based outside New Zealand. This has
meant developing strong project management skills
and processes.
Specialist staff
DieselGas staff are experienced in managing prototype
engine and vehicle commissioning projects. Some larger
projects require other specialist skill and on some
occasions specialist staff are employed to undertake
other project management roles. DieselGas works closely
with a number of other New Zealand companies involved
in alternative fuels work. Compressor and dispenser
manufacture, petrol engine mixers design and manufacture,
engine design and consultancy services (including
project management) are represented.
Language
Often the first language of our clients is not English.
DieselGas has learned to manage projects successfully
in different language and cultural environments.
Reporting
Good project management is about having good plans,
management and reporting. Each project contract sets
out the goals and conditions. Every project also has
a requirement specification document setting out the
details of the engine development programme and this
include milestones of progress. DieselGas report regularly
to clients on project progress compared to the plan,
highlighting any significant changes or difficulties
in progress. Often client engineers are present at
DieselGas during the engine development programme.
Training
Client engineers are often present during application
engineering programme. This allows more effective
understanding of the engine system, development process
and management. This allow for straight forward commissioning
of prototype systems in engine manufacturers factory
facilities or client workshops throughout the world.
The DieselGas engine controllers allow data to be
recorded automatically or manually and the DGTech
graphic interface programme allows DieselGas or client
engineers to analyse data and communicate easily this
the factory. The means projects can be well managed
and supported by DieselGas anywhere in the world.
