ASLPM
Excellence in Delivering Holistic Aviation Project Management

Airports implement various projects that pertain to facility maintenance, expansion as well as constructing new terminals. Given the diversity of the projects, it would be nothing but futile to adopt a single project management methodology to undertake them all. For managing several projects with distinctive requirements and various stakeholders, aviation entities need an experienced project management consultant who can efficiently wrap the project undertakings under the canopy of comprehensive program management. This is where ASLPM, a certified MBE & DBE program management consulting firm, comes to the picture. The California-based company provides a wide range of services to help its clients update their techniques and adopt new approaches, solutions, methods, and tools for project management.

Aviation entities face a constant dilemma in choosing the right partner because most of the consultants tend to charge heavily for their services and are often not transparent about the way they execute project management. ASLPM, on the other hand, begins engaging with clients by identifying the risk and costs involved before construction or project commencement, saving the client from the plights of having to deal with change orders. The company’s philosophy in project management revolves around planning ahead in the design and pre-design phases for the construction to go smoothly with zero impact on any airline operations during the construction phase.

“We bring a very proactive approach into the process to understand the current and future needs of customers and provide the right amount of resources to assists customers in program and project development and building their infrastructure,” says Saad Ilyas, President of the company. ASLPM helps airports in developing a program by understanding their revenue sources, and stakeholders’ needs such as security management, and terminal management.

The company takes care of cost management, schedule management, and reviews the number of resources, funds, and the timeline for implementation. ASLPM adopts a micro project management approach and utilizes designers and engineers for implementation of project design, which ultimately goes into the construction.

What makes ASLPM stand out from any typical project management consultant is their efforts to achieve sustainable project management by embracing notions such as collaboration, service integration. The company believes in training and mentoring the clients’ workforce and respective stakeholders (internal or external) about project management in entirety, which would eliminate the need for consultants eventually. Also, ASLPM lays great emphasis on recruiting candidates who—in addition to the technical capabilities—have the strong emotional intelligence to align and work with clients’ diverse environments. The company is always ready to make changes to its personnel structure if any team member doesn’t match up to the expectations of their clients.

The success story of one of their clients best exemplifies ASLPM’s value proposition. The company turned a distressed project of San Jose International Airport into a positive one. The airport was facing problems with design completion and running behind schedule due to indifferences in stakeholders’ instructions and comments. The company worked collaboratively with the contractors, stakeholders, and designers to make sure that the project was completed on time and under budget. Later, the project won the project of the year award thanks to the airport’s constant collaboration and partnership with the ASLPM team.

In all its years of operations, ASLPM has never received any complaint against its service or team. With an aim to grow sustainably by providing the right service to the right clients, ASLPM is planning to spread its footprints in the other states, especially in the central parts of the US. Moreover, in light of their experience catering to the aviation field, the company is now expanding its services into education and transportation.
