SOLUTION — SUPPORT CAPITAL PROJECTS
Every capital project steals from your maintenance team.
Plant maintenance teams can't run two operations at once. Capital project work pulls techs off PMs, blows project timelines, and drains the bench just when production needs it most. MMS deploys skilled multi-craft crews and engineering oversight — so your project ships and your line keeps running.
TRUSTED BY MANUFACTURERS WHO SHIPPED THEIR PROJECTS WITHOUT TAKING THE LINE DOWN
SOUND FAMILIAR?
If your capital projects look like this, you're not alone.
Capital project competing with the PM schedule for the same maintenance team.
Project timeline slipping because the team has day-job interruptions.
Internal team burning overtime to cover production AND project work.
Safety incidents climbing because techs are stretched too thin.
Production losing hours to project-driven downtime that wasn't planned that way.
Rework on capital install because nobody had time to commission properly.
WHAT’S ACTUALLY HAPPENING
It's not a project problem. It's a capacity problem.
Capital projects are sold to leadership as discrete, time-bound investments. The reality on the floor is different — they compete with the running maintenance organisation for the same skilled people.
Every hour a controls tech spends on the new install is an hour the existing line doesn't have. The project doesn't fail. Production does — quietly, in the background.
The fix isn't compressing the project timeline or pulling more bodies from production. It's adding capacity that exists cleanly when the project ends.
THAT’S WHAT WE FIX.
HOW MMS FIXES IT
Three services that solve it.
Engineering & Controls
PLC, HMI, robotics, and controls retrofits scoped to the project window. Engineering that shows up on the floor — not just in the schematic.
Explore →Industrial Maintenance
Project Support workforce — skilled millwrights, electricians, mechanics — deployed for the project window. Defined scope. Defined exit.
Explore →Manufacturing Support
Production-adjacent labor for capital installations — line attendant, material handling, kitting around the install. Keeps the line moving while the project builds out.

Capital projects — questions buyers ask.
-
General contractors run the construction scope. MMS Project Support owns the maintenance-side workforce — millwrights, electricians, controls technicians, and project oversight that integrates with both the GC and your internal maintenance team. We work where the GC hands off and your maintenance team needs to pick up: installation, commissioning, integration, and post-startup support.
-
Yes — that's the default model. MMS Project Support engagements include daily coordination with OEM field engineers, your internal maintenance leadership, and the GC if one is in play. Single point of contact, defined responsibilities, and documented handoff at startup.
-
Project Support engagements are scoped to the project window — typically weeks for line-level installs, months for plant-scale capital expansions. The engagement has a defined start, milestones, and exit. We don't stay after the project closes unless the customer converts to a managed program.
INDUSTRIES WHERE THIS HITS HARDEST
Where capital projects come with deadlines that can't slip.
Plants with OEM-mandated install dates, FDA/FSMA validation cycles, or tier-1 supplier capacity expansion timelines feel project-vs-production conflict first and pay for it hardest.
