| Message From the President Project Management at Bauer In this issue of our newsletter I would like to explore with you the methods by which Bauer conducts the management of our projects. The majority of our projects are complex and involve multiple disciplines and resources. The keys to success - schedule and budget - are in timely up-front planning and organization of the project and in maintaining tight control as the project progresses. Department Updates Bauer Wheel and Brake Shop Equipment In an ongoing effort to provide a full line of Wheel and Brake Shop Equipment to our customers, Bauer recently announced that it has added an Aircraft Rotor and Torque Tube Brake Cleaner to its line of wheel and brake equipment. For everyone involved with aircraft brake service and overhaul, cleaning is a task that takes valuable manpower, resources, and money. Spotlight On Project Management The challenge of designing and building custom engineered equipment that is capable of testing a variety of aircraft/engine accessories to meet each customer's unique expectations is daunting. Now multiply that by 50. This is the average number of projects that Bauer's engineering team is tasked with managing at any given point in time.

New Project The Process of Project Management Over the past several years, Bauer has adopted a standardized process to manage the design and building of custom test equipment. The process is used to establish a project plan for every custom equipment project and has evolved, and continues to evolve, as new lessons and customer requirements are encountered.
Employee Spotlight Dave Williams Dave Williams has been with Bauer for two years and was hired as a Mechanical Engineer. Dave's engineering, leadership and language skills have been a great asset to the company.
