June 29, 2005: Productivity Emphasized At PHCC Management Course
FORT WORTH, Texas - Twenty-one business owners, operations managers, project managers, estimators, and superintendents spent four days at the PHCC Educational Foundation's recent offering of its Essentials of PHC Project Management Course, a training program sponsored by American Standard and Trane. The session, held in Fort Worth, Texas, demonstrated to attendees how pre-planning and a commitment to supporting field labor can significantly reduce wasted time and save their businesses substantial amounts of money.
"Managers working on the office side of a contracting business need to realize that making money in this industry depends completely on how well they can support their field labor," said Kirk Alter, director of the Foundation's management courses and lead instructor for the Essentials course. "By increasing field labor efficiency by just one percent, many companies could double their net profits."
