Next Gen Engineering creates the basis for all subsequent work. It must be done with technical quality, in sequence, and generate deliverables that meet the needs of suppliers, fabricators, constructors, and operators. Engineering frequently fails to deliver on these fundamental objectives. Workflows not understood, priorities out of sync with project needs, designs that are not tailored to the constructor’s methods, and the struggle to rapidly replan and reprioritize when things go wrong all contribute to the lack of performance.
This two-day course will enable participants to understand the engineering methods needed to generate the flow of work to optimize project performance.
Construction is where the rubber meets the road; living with or compensating for everything that has gone wrong up to that point. Naturally, experienced construction teams anticipate trouble and attempt to protect themselves from this variability by providing early required-at-site dates for materials, demanding engineering deliverables well before they are needed, and getting an early start on any construction activity. Far too often cut steel or start site prep is done prematurely before it can be sustained with engineering and materials. Projects often fail to maintain the sequence of work that is needed to support commissioning and start up. Instead, priorities are set based on what each contractor believes is best for them.
