About the Critical Path Method

       We at Southwest Engineering believe the critical path method is a blueprint for project success.

       This method is a way to benchmark a project by setting a goal and then setting specific checkpoints to meet in order to reach it.

       Southwest Engineering has developed an important tool for generating project-specific critical path flow charts. In every regulatory jurisdiction where we do business, we have carefully documented all the requirements for the necessary approvals. In advance, Southwest Engineering and the client know every step they will need to take.

Here's briefly how it works:

Client and Southwest Engineering set project goals including timeframes and desired completion date.

Southwest Engineering uses its models to determine public approval requirements.

Meanwhile, Southwest Engineering calculates the time required to complete each phase of the project.

All the derived information is plotted on a chart that clearly outlines and coordinates the workflow. The chart generated by this process is the specific critical path for the project.

The project manual is developed based on this critical path data.

The project manager monitors the project to ensure that it is on track to meet its critical path checkpoints. The critical path is altered only in consultation with the client.

The end result is a project on time and on budget.
