To exploit the successful commercial invention of the Mini Voice Killer ™ Burnie Productions was founded in 1984. We did not only manufacture this niche product but also we had a product-line of compressors, limiters, audio and video distribution amplifiers and we were one of the founders an unique dynamic RMS level detector, which is still used in a lot of feed-forward compressors and active loudspeaker systems around the world. We also did some research products for other manufactures, like a compact ENG mixer, timecode generators & readers and intercom systems.

Our engineering expertise started in 1987 when we build several audio and video mobiles for companies like Eurosound, Cinevideo and ENG-Videohouse.
Since 1996 the consultancy activities became a bigger part of our company profile and we have a nice track-record in the broadcast and entertainment industry in the Benelux countries for education, training, starting up (commercial) international, regional or local TV stations.

Since 2006 our international skills are used in France, Italy , United Kingdom, Qatar, Dubai, Kuwait, Abu Dhabi by companies like VPA, Thomson / Grass Valley, Sony, BSkyB, Al Jazeera, MBC, MOI Kuwait, Sky News Arabia, Sky Italia, Abu Dhabi Media, Master Media, etc.

Our core-business for the moment is Senior Project Management, we are also certified for (Dutch) Risk & BSC and BHV (Health & Safety) regulations.

We are using the (CAPX) Six Sigma (like Prince-2) & PMBOK Project Management Methods and like the Business Canvas principle. As planning tools we us MS Project or Oracle Primavera P6. For designs we are MS Visio, Sketchup and Autocad all official licensed.

We have our main office based in the Netherlands, a small office in France and we are partner in a consutancy company registered in the United Arab Emirates.

As established in May 1984 we celebrate this year our 35 years in business anniversary!

Business Canvas Model

Used to run multibillion projects and we use or skills to prevent (un)expected change requests, so normally wo handover projects in-time-in-budget. The complexibility in almost every project we’re involved with is that the install, implementation or (re)location should never interfere with the daily operations, so some smart project planning is required: our specialty! Except from the standard PMP/PMI/PMBOK relative Project Management accreditations & methodologies, we work with the business-canvas-model principle:

It’s common to operate in the background (on paper) if that suits the organization better, but actually handles the next PM(O) functions like:

• Intermediary between senior (stakeholders) management & the daily output team(s)
• Communication with the (solution or technical) Architects for implementation for the required infra-structure when required (including construction works)
• Enable to deliver all corporate & broadcast IT and broadband broadcast installations
• Setup, manage & control a Program Plan with:

o   Communication structure program
o   Realistic Project plan
o   Risk assets management reporting
o   Change request structure
o   Control deliverables & (payment) milestones
o   Control BOM (bill or materials) & logistics
o   Organize regular meetings & reporting (top-up & top-down)
o   Budget and/or Financial structure & reporting

• As solution Architect making designs in Autocad
• Create Factory & Site Acceptance Test documents (FAT/SAT)
• Evaluate technical designs
• Full project responsibility
