Introduction R. Powell & Associates, Inc. (RPA) has provided engineering and business consulting services to a variety of business since 1993 and specializes in engineering systems analysis and design , business analysis, and competitive assessments. Key personnel have over 50 years of engineering and professional management experience in the public and private sectors. Among the consulting areas in which RPA personnel have specialized experience; are design of engineering systems; analysis of management organization and operations; economic feasibility studies; utility cost-of-service studies; utility load research and load forecasting; and development of competitive examinations.
RPA is certified as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) for engineering and business consulting by the SBA 8(a) Program, City of Atlanta, Georgia Department of Transportation, MARTA, Fulton County in Georgia, DeKalb County in Georgia, State of Pennsylvania, City of Philadelphia, City of Chicago, Cook County in Illinois and Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago. We are Registered Professional Engineers in Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, and North Carolina.
RPA is equipped and experience in the use of new technology and computers for effective and timely solutions for engineering and business applications. Our business and engineering disciplines use state of the art computers and application programs for analysis and design.
Before beginning careers as consultants, members of RPA's team served in pertinent management capacities with major organizations or their contractors. This means that RPA personnel build engineering and business capability from a strong, hands-on experience base. RPA team members have used their extensive consulting experience to add diversity and a broadened perspective to their understanding of company and business operations. This depth and breadth of experience and capacity is essential in today's regulatory, technological and business climate.
The combination of this management knowledge and experience with a strong engineering and analysising background sets RPA's work apart from those of typical classic consultants. It reflects the perspective of a strong team with the know-how to conduct a formal review of complex operations and problems. RPA's personnel are not like many professional engineering and business analysisors who only know of these disciplines what they have learned by analysising (or watching) them. RPA knows engineering, operating and business systems because its people have managed and operated them.
RPA's skills and experienced translated directly into work products that (a) deal with the right issues, (b) provide concise recommendations with clear objectives, (c) offer concrete, practicable plans, and (d) most importantly, final products are likely to earn full acceptance by clients and other involved parties.
