Project Controller

Support with the startup of new inquiries
- Support the startup of new projects in close cooperation with the Technical Account Manager within the current inquiry-to-M0 process to ensure that new inquiries are swiftly brought to the Business Meeting in order to move customer requests into project mode (or assignment of a bid team).
- Support Key Account Managers and Project Managers on initial cost price assessments.
- Help gathering information to move forward to M0;
+ Resource allocation (see below).
+ Initial cost price and timeline estimations based on inputs from TAM, PM and R&D (target design, reference product, etc.)
+ M0 Business Case review (KAM + Project Manager stay accountable & responsible for BC).
+ M0 Project Charter (AE stays responsible for complete charter)
Cost price assessment
- Based on the inputs provided by TAM, PM and R&D, prepare a first draft Bill Of Material (BOM). This can be based upon the following inputs:
+ Primary requirements (TAM input).
+ First design concepts (R&D input).
- Reference products (TAM input)
+ In alignment with Project Mgr. and NPI Mgr., determine the expected cycle time and yield.
+ Determine ACP safety margin based on project complexity and risk.
+ Based on BOM, cycle time, yield and safety margin, determine the estimated Average Cost price.
- Document and explain the outcome of the assessment in the M0 Project Charter.
Resource Pipeline Planning
- Make a proposal for the assignment of project managers for the new projects, based on the project scope and complexity as defined in the project charter. Hold a Charter Review with KAM/AE and the PM (and/or with Lead Engineer) before submitting for approval.
- Support the Head of PMO with resource scenario planning (all functions: PM + Development + NPI + others) in case priority decisions need to be made (e.g. prioritization scenario's in case resource demand exceeds availability).
- Maintain the Pipeline document to ensure it is always up to date.
