Capstone has successfully implemented an Enterprise Project Management Solution for Amgen. The first deliverable in the evolution of a true EPM was to integrate project schedules into a master schedule which includes manufacturing, new product introduction and construction projects into a lower version of Microsoft Project. After the migration, all new projects and their project managers have the ability to use a common resource database which in turn gives the client added benefit in resource and cost analysis. Capstone personnel also ensure and maintain a high level of integrity and performance of all of the schedules throughout the term of the scope. Capstone has also provided MS Project training for the Colorado PMO.

In addition to the Colorado PMO engagement, Capstone provided a scheduling specialist to fill a "Finite Scheduler" position with the Manufacturing division of Amgen. The Finite Scheduler is responsible for the creation and maintenance of an accurate daily schedule for each production area. This included all production related tasks, as well as the coordination of any maintenance, validation, sampling, and sanitization activities that involve production. Additional responsibilities included: tracking, analyzing, and reporting monthly finite scheduling metrics; facilitating NPI sub-team meetings; facilitating daily client meetings; and providing emergency scheduling solutions due to production related issues.
