Prestige new trains delivered into service on time

Spitfire has deployed its considerable expertise in the railway industry to help a leading train manufacturer get on track for project success.

The Spitfire team were appointed to help the manufacturer accomplish a delivery to service project for its new trains. Thanks to extensive railways experience, Spitfire was the natural partner and the ideal choice to take the lead on programme management and project leadership.    

Under the programme management remit, Spitfire's consultancy excellence was leveraged to set up improved processes and manage the modifications programme. Developing and rolling out new processes across the manufacturer's business units was especially key as this ensured compliance right through to the completion of the programme.

Spitfire also provided comprehensive project leadership, and team support at project management level while on site with the client.

Outcomes such as improved communication, team collaboration & engagement, and transparent reporting also contributed to the overall success of the train delivery to service mission - by ensuring best practises were followed throughout and shared across the teams.

Kevin Jones, Partner at Spitfire said,

"Our transport industry and railway experience meant that our team was ideally suited to the challenge of helping this manufacturer to go from delivery to service."

The client commented,

“I have enjoyed working with Steve, Mick and Tim, and Spitfire in general have supported the efforts we have been working to deliver. I think the outcomes will be evident for many years with the successful operation of the rail services.”
