Technical Project Management and Control
An outsourced (e.g., 3rd-party, CMO) manufacturing arrangement requires professional-grade management and control.

An outsourced project manager has many advantages over potential internal candidates. Few companies have true project groups that work outside the functional structure; therefore, having a dedicated project manager means either hiring a new person specifically for that project or taking someone away from their main responsibilities within the functional matrix. Some of the major advantages of hiring an outside project manager are:
- An externally hired project manager has no internal distractions or conflicting loyalties within the organization and can take or deliver the "heat" to keep the primary business partnership running smoothly.
- Projects are run professionally with a clear charter, published tasks, milestone progress reports, detailed timelines and realistic budgeting and resource allocation.
- Project team members are taught to work together more effectively and responsibly; a good PMP is a facilitator, not a super employee.
- The project is documented from start to finish; the documentation acts like project insurance to protect the company and can also serve as a template for future internally-managed projects.
Kymanox's philosophy on project management is aligned with the principles taught by Harold Kerzner and the Project Management Institute (PMI).
All projects are treated on an individual and custom basis. For a project to have predictable success, extra effort is spent in the planning phase; this extra time is quickly recouped during the execution, controlling and closing phases for overall time and cost savings.
