Morclean's Project Journey - Phase 5: Project Closure

Image
The final and most fundamental stage of our project planning journey, where we complete the steps needed to close and deliver the finished project to the client, is called Project Closure, or the Post-Mortem/Follow-Up phase. In the closing phase, we communicate completion to the stakeholders and release resources to other projects, allowing our team to evaluate and document the project in order to move on to the next one. The project manager identifies the project’s strengths, valuable team members, what went wrong, how things can be rectified in the future, and any takeaways from the project. By exploiting previous project mistakes and successes, it enables us to build stronger processes and more successful teams for the future, helping us to approach our projects with even more enthusiasm and dedication. Oh, and this is where we celebrate!  🎉 Thank you for following us on our journey, if you’d like to take a look at some of our previous project successes, click on the fo

Are you afraid to embrace change?

Image
Change can be a daunting prospect, especially when you allow fear to control how you make your decisions. Many of us are creatures of habit, to a degree, so sometimes change has to be a slow and gradual process. Other times you just have to take a satisfying leap of faith. Take, for example, the cleaning equipment that you purchase. You’re in need of a new cleaning machine and you’ve been with your current machine supplier for as long as you can remember. You know your machines to the letter - how to operate them, the type of service you will receive if an issue arises... You don’t want to feel disloyal by changing suppliers, but you recognise that there may be a solution out there that better suits your purpose. If you’re sceptical of change, you don’t know what you could be missing out on. Here at Morclean, we offer a comprehensive range of industrial cleaning equipment solutions, whether you’re an established business or a budding entrepreneur looking to start-up your own bin cleani

Morclean's Project Journey - Phase 4: Project Monitoring & Control

Image
Phase 4 (Week 4) of our Morclean project journey is all about making sure that things run smoothly and according to plan. Measuring progress and overall performance to ensure that everything aligns with our project management plan.  This is where we review, track progress, and make adjustments to the project plan, if necessary, to deliver it in the best possible way, following key performance indicators (KPI's) such as: Project objectives:  ensuring that the project stays on schedule at the desired budget to meet the expectations of the client. Cost tracking : tracking variations from allotted cost and time. Quality deliverables: determining if deliverables are being met, or not. Project performance: taking into account any changes made in the project due to scope-creep, while measuring the project's overall progress. This dogged determination and persistent vigilance helps keep the project moving ahead smoothly, dealing with any issues that arise and underpinning the

It's Going to be a Busy, Yet Exciting Year for the Morclean Team!

Image
With over twenty projects at the quoting, planning, or prepping stage, we're all geared up for our busiest year ever.  From Glasgow to Germany, and Stevenage to Spain, we've had a record number of  inquiries for  wash bay, wash pad, jet wash, and interceptor installs  throughout the UK, Scotland, and Europe. Our first project, in East Lothian at the very beginning of March, is a turnkey project that will involve  excavation and civil works to install a new silt trap and pump  chamber, a plant room, and an interceptor, alongside two huge 20CuM3 tanks and a separator. Phew, it's a big job but the type of project we thrive on.   Once we've completed this Scotland based project, we're off to Nottingham to install yet another silt trap, pump chamber, plant room, and interceptor, alongside a brand new jet wash... but more about that later. For now, we'll concentrate on East Lothian, bringing you regular updates throughout each phase.  To see our most recent p

Week 3 / Phase 3: Project Execution Once all of the planning is in place, we can move on to Phase 3, the execution stage, where our team is off and running. This is where we collaborate with all involved, reviewing work, presenting to stakeholders, and revising, if necessary, any parts of the initial plan. In this step of the project management lifecycle, our project manager is responsible for: Resource Planning Meeting Management Timeline Management Change Management Risk Management Quality Management Budget Management Communications and Facilitation Internal Deliverable Reviews   The execution phase, which is also known as the implementation phase, is all about building deliverables that satisfy the client.

Morclean BinWash AUTO Demonstration in Hertfordshire

Image
Our team is off to Hertfordshire today to demonstrate the fantastic features and functions of our new  BinWash AUTO , state-of-the-art technology that sanitises waste within a completely safe and enclosed environment. The company is looking for a bin cleaning solution that can fully clean and sanitise their medical waste bins without any overspray and is interested in how the BinWash AUTO can change the way they operate.  The  BinWash AUTO  would be electric driven and fixed on a skid frame. We would install the power and water ourselves, and baby screens to prevent any spray from escaping. For today's demo, we are taking the machine on a portable trailer [which we have recently invested in] that has a diesel engine and generates its own power.  As the bin wash d0esnt need to be fixed or require any external power, it means that we don't have to go inside a building to source power, reducing the risk of contamination at such a critical point in time. We are able to c
