As part of an overall restructuring, in 1995 Bargh ara set up a specialized Machinery and Equipment Department charged with the task of managing the company's growing fleet. The main goal of the reorganization was to increase responsiveness to the constantly changing requirements of project execution, achieve greater flexibility and efficiency, and allow project managers to focus on the financial and technical aspects of the project. In 2005 , a new program was established that incorporated predictive and preventive maintenance. The new program utilized computer systems to do scheduling, including quality and visual inspections. However, its cornerstone of success is the use of vibration analysis, infratography, and tribology to detect and correct problems prior to a failure occurring. Our Machinery and Equipment Department is firmly committed to the principle that service and maintenance should not be looked at as a drain on income. Rather, they should be considered a contribution to output. Moreover, the department establishes a win-win relationship with all project managers in order to implement its maintenance programs successfully.

Whatever the task, organization is the keynote. The organizational structure of Bargh ara has been so designed that every project enjoys a unified chain of command headed by a project manager, whilst a network of specialized technical, engineering, logistics and supporting units feed all ongoing projects in a highly coordinated manner. At the same time, all projects, divisions and subdivisions interact via a hybrid matrix system. For effective project execution, project teams relevant to the size and nature of the projects are formed. Each project team, led by a project manager, assumes full responsibility, from start to finish, for thorough compliance with the specific requirements of each project. Computerized data processing systems are used for all phases of project execution. Network analysis and optimum time and resource allocation are performed using Bargh ara’s schedule control system which is based on the network method. Thus, all project management activities such as project planning, schedule and cost control, human resource management, quality management and control, health, safety and environment are carried out under unified concepts. An effective management information system using well-arranged formats is employed to enable top management to closely oversee all phases of project execution.
