Frequently asked questions about ALMEX PROJECTS

Answers to the most important questions about ALMEX Build to Run

ALMEX PROJECTS is our overarching project management that coordinates all performance modules (CONSULTING, ENGINEERING, MANUFACTURING, SERVICES). We orchestrate the entire process from idea to operation: planning, resource management, quality assurance, budget control, and coordination of international teams. This ensures that your innovation project is implemented on time, on budget, and with the highest quality.

ALMEX PROJECTS is particularly valuable for complex, multi-stage projects that span several service levels (e.g., from CONSULTING through Engineering to MANUFACTURING). Our project management also ensures smooth processes for international projects with multiple locations or tight schedules. For simple individual services (e.g., CONSULTING only), Projects is optional.

We work in partnership with your internal project management and directly with specialist departments. Our project manager is your central point of contact and coordinates all internal ALMEX resources as well as global stakeholders. Regular status meetings, transparent reporting tools, and clear communication channels ensure that all participants are always informed.

We use hybrid project management approaches: classic PM (waterfall) for clearly defined phases (e.g., Manufacturing), agile methods (Scrum, Kanban) for iterative developments (e.g., software engineering), and lean principles for efficiency optimization. The method depends on the project and customer requirements.

We conduct a comprehensive risk analysis at the start of the project and identify technical, economic, and scheduling risks. We define countermeasures and contingency plans for every risk. Regular risk reviews ensure that new risks are identified and addressed early.

Yes, transparency is important to us. You will receive regular status reports (weekly, monthly – depending on the requirements of the project phase). Additionally, there are fixed review dates for timely coordination.

Changes are normal in complex projects. ALMEX PROJECTS works with structured change management: change requests are documented, their impact on time, cost, and quality is assessed, and they are coordinated with you in the form of change requests. This allows us to maintain control over project goals despite flexibility.

Yes, we also manage projects where you use external manufacturers or only require CONSULTING/ENGINEERING. ALMEX PROJECTS can be used independently of the performance modules utilized – we also orchestrate projects with third-party partners.
