10th Annual Symposium Presentations

Explorations in Application of PPM – Energy & Industrial

Embark on the transformative journey of Project Production Management, exploring its impact on project delivery and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. Meanwhile, discover how Tripatra, embraces Total Project Management for efficient and sustainable operations across oil, gas, and minerals projects.

Overview

In a recent presentation, M. Al-Azahary B. A. Sani and team provided an insightful overview of their Project Production Management (PPM) journey. The presentation highlighted the evolution from a proof of concept in 2020-2021 to the ongoing proof of value phase, emphasizing a shift towards a value obsession approach. Strategic deployment of Business Process Management (BPM) across projects, commitment reliability framework, and success stories of savings and efficiency gains were key focal points. Concrete examples, including substation project optimization, demonstrated the practical application of PPM. Challenges, particularly in commitment and mindset shifts, were transparently discussed, emphasizing the need for dedicated champions.

In parallel, Tripatra, a leading Indonesian contractor, showcased its Total Project Management (TPM) journey. Facing challenges in a low-profit market, Tripatra committed to TPM, with a spotlight on environmental, social, and governance standards. The company’s gender equality commitment, digital transformation initiatives, and challenges with local content regulations were discussed. The TPM implementation led to tangible successes, such as reduced man-hours for engineering projects and accelerated construction timelines. Tripatra acknowledged ongoing challenges, including cultural resistance and a lack of TPM knowledge, reinforcing their commitment to revolutionizing project management in Indonesia’s construction sector. The symposium collectively provided valuable insights and success stories, urging industry-wide adoption of PPM and TPM methodologies.
