The construction of production facilities is made up of a variety of elemental technologies, including architecture, building equipment, production equipment, logistics equipment, and IT. The management technology that coordinates and integrates these various intertwined elemental technologies is called “project management” (PM). Even in the case of complex production facility construction, which tends to fall into the “unexpected” category, we can control “quality,” “cost,” and “schedule” with know-how backed by our experience and track record, and lead the project to success. In addition to project management, we use engineering management, construction management (EM), and validation management (VM) to achieve this.

CM Plus engineering provides total support for facility construction from the business concept and basic planning stage to the commissioning stage, leading to successful projects. CM Plus is a professional services company. We are not a construction company. Therefore, we can truly support projects from the standpoint of our clients. This is the “B with B” concept advocated by CM Plus.

The first thing the customer does is to create an investment business plan. If you are planning to enter the Asian region as a manufacturing base, you will need to consider the entire business model and the production system based on the requirements. Specifically, each of the items of “sales,” “manufacturing,” and “procurement” will be examined based on external factors as well as the company’s own factors.

Cm Plus provides consulting services for procurement and sales in cooperation with a business consulting company that is well versed in business in the Asian region. In addition, for investment plans related to production, we support the selection of the most suitable industrial park for your company by making full use of a wealth of information on factory parks and rental factories in the relevant country. CM Plus operates the “Overseas Factory Construction Information Portal Site” (www.og.cm-plus.co.jp) to provide clients with construction-related information in Asia.

We can support you in the planning stage by conducting various surveys, formulating policies and strategies based on those surveys, and developing an expansion plan. In addition, we can provide support for the realization of the plan by utilizing the personnel and networks of our local offices in each country.

A unique feature of CM Pus engineering is that we design the entire plant using the production machinery and production flow as the starting point. Not only architectural, HVAC, electrical, and utility engineers, but also engineers who are familiar with production facilities, participate in the project to create a facility that aims for total optimization. CM Plus can also assist in the preparation of specifications and ordering of production equipment at the client’s request. This is the engineering management (EM) of CMPlus.
The input from the customer side for these tasks is the UR (User requirements). Based on this, we create URBs (User Requirement Brief), which are the basic criteria for design, through repeated interviews with the customer and serve as the basis for design.

CM Plus engineering will select the right contractor for you. We support our clients by comparing and fairly evaluating construction companies in terms of technical capabilities, construction costs, process planning, and mobilization planning. We also provide assistance in preparing construction contracts. Unlike in Japan, we prepare construction contracts based on international standard contracts that apply overseas. A construction contract should not only specify the amount of money, but also how to protect the quality of the work, how to minimize additional costs, and how to protect the customer in case something unexpected happens. CM Plus provides support for the preparation of construction contracts that protect the client from such perspectives, with a project team and a specialized legal team working in unison.

CM Plus supports the success of a project by being on the client’s side from the beginning to the completion of the facility. Specifically, we implement the following PJ formation.
