Improving project execution using Concurrent Engineering + Enhanced Overlapping Strategy

Planning:

1. Assembling preliminary schedule based on classical (sequential) execution.
2. Identify the critical path activities.
3. Identify the evolution and sensitivity characteristics of each critical activity.
4. Identify the best overlapping strategy that could be implemented (rework risk versus time execution savings).
5. Modify the schedule adding the overlapping strategy to the critical path activities.

Key items of Concurrent Engineering for FEED projects, improving lead time and cost.

1. Implementing the Multidisciplinary Concurrent Engineering (CE) Team.
2. Implementation of Enhanced Overlapping Strategy Framework (information evolution upstream versus information sensitivity downstream) in order to balancing expedited design with risk rework.
3. Implementing of early contact between design team and downstream specialists, suppliers and subcontractors.
4. Ensuring early procurement of the long lead items.
5. Improvement of turnaround time for internal inquiries.
6. Reduction or Eliminating of non value adding activities.
