Project Management

At TPR, three top-tier individuals are assigned to each project: a TPR executive, the program manager and the account manager who is assigned to work with the customer.

TPR's high-level program managers are responsible for the overall success of a customer's project. They coordinate project efforts among engineering groups, supervise supplier relationships, track deliverables and schedules, and provide an engineering interface to cross-functional teams within TPR and with the customer's internal teams. Our goal is to achieve tight-knit, close communication with our customers.

Project management requires a deep knowledge of design and the know-how to effectively integrate the complexity of cross-discipline product development as well as the creativity and know-how to properly phase a project. TPR's program managers can oversee a program from concept design to finished product and product support.
