The LPM System

Project management organisation
without the overhead.

LPM gives your designer, your tooling engineer, and your programme manager a single structured system — from first concept to first article.

Overview · PD · TI · LL
LPM in action — Project Dashboard, Tooling Insights, and Lessons Learned working together across a live programme.

Everything in one place.
Nothing lost between handoffs.

LPM is built around three interconnected modules, each addressing a specific failure point in how small manufacturers manage injection moulding programmes.

Dashboard
Instant programme overview · always current

Project Dashboard

The PD gives everyone on the programme — designer, tooling engineer, programme manager — a single view of where the project stands right now. Task status, risks, budget position, and key dates without digging through email threads or chasing updates. The dashboard doesn’t require a meeting to make sense of. It’s the answer to “where are we?” at a glance.

Checklists · decisions · nothing missed

Tooling Insights

TI is where engineering discipline lives. Structured checklists walk your team through part design review, tool design review, and first article — so nothing gets skipped because someone was busy or assumed someone else had it covered. Decision tracking means that when a choice is made about gate location, wall thickness, or surface finish, it’s recorded with context — not lost in a text message three months later.

Organisational knowledge · compounds over time

Lessons Learned

Most companies make the same tooling mistakes twice — because the person who learned the lesson has moved on, or the conversation happened verbally and was never written down. LL is your company’s growing knowledge base. Every project adds to it. Every new programme starts with the benefit of everything that came before. Over time, LL becomes one of the most valuable assets your engineering team owns.
