Q

What is AWP

A

AWP is the effective preparation and execution of work packages on a project

Aligning disciplines on the optimal sequence and schedule
Deliberately dividing the project into work packages according to this sequence and schedule
Managing process flow of the work packages
Efficiently managing and performing the project

AWP can be applied to projects of all scale and complexity

Q

AWP Vocabulary

A

Interactive planning (should continue throughout project lifecycle)
Construction Work Area / CWA (logical area of construction work)
Path of Construction / POC (optimal building sequence identified through Interactive Planning)
Construction Work Package / CWP (better to do it by discipline i.e. mechanical, piping etc.)
Engineering Work Package / EWP (aligned with CWP and per discipline)
Systems Work Package / SWP (commissioning work package mapped to existing commissioning zones)
Field Installation Work Package / IWP (done by a small team with 500 to 1,000 hr and 1 wk to 2 wk duration)
Release Plan (planned release dates for EWP and CWP per POC)
Workface Planning (field level planning for IWP)
WBS

Q

AWP implementation model

A

Component 1 - Interactive Planning (establish CWA, POC and CWP and EWP)
Component 2 - Workface Planning (preparing IWA from CWP and EWP, requires planning with field staff)
Component 3 - SWPs (development of SWPs for commissioning)
Component 4 - Constraints and Information Management (to remove constraints from IWP and SWP)

Q

AWP Data Requirements Implementation Guide by CII

A

Advanced Work Packaging requires a great deal of data to be transferred between parties at various points in the process. Implementation experience of CII companies showed that a common set of data requirements and definitions were needed in order to standardize the way data were transferred on projects and specified in contracts

Q

Last Planner System

A

LPS is a collaborative and detailed planning process by those that will execute the work
It is similar to JIT
Involves a Last Planner, a person responsible for planning in greater detail
Relies on pull planning rather than push planning

Q

06 principles of LPS

A

Plan in greater detail closer to the work
Produce plans collaboratively
Remove constraints
Make and secure reliable promises
Measure promises kept by Percent Plan Complete PPC
Continuous improvement and reduce wastes

Q

05 connected conversations in LPS

A

Milestone planning - should
Phase pull planning - should / handoff between disciplines or trades
Look ahead planning - can / constraints are identified and removed
Weekly work planning - will / make promises
Continuous improvement - did / PPC

Q

11 elements of Standard Work for LPS

A

LPS introduction
LPS pull planning session invitation
LPS planning session invitation
LPS milestone planning
LPS phase pull planning LPS tag preparation
LPS lookahead planning
LPS constraints log
LPS weekly work planning
LPS daily huddle
LPS Percent Plan Complete
LPS reasons for variance

18
Q

Milestone Planning

A

Milestones identified with diamond shape figure
Pull milestones from master schedule for detailed planning
For each milestone start from the left and identify sub milestones
Note the durations between each milestones
Identify areas of risk and prepare risk log

19
Q

Prepare tags for pull planning

A

See examples of tags from notes
Each tag has Name, # People, # Days, My Promise/Activity, Predecessors and Constraints

20
Q

Pull Planning

A

Pull planning is planning for a phase between two milestones
It is done by superintendent and foreman
Start from left to right (i.e. start from the last milestone)
Each foreman identifies a promise and request

21
Q

Lookahead planning

A

Isolate the activities from the phase pull plan that will occur in next 3 to 12 weeks
Determine if any new activities are required
Identify and resolve constraints
Prepare a risk log

22
Q

Constraints log

A

Create a constraints log with constraint, resolution, owner and status

23
Q

Weekly Work Planning

A

Focus on detailed planning for the upcoming week
It is done by the Last Planner

24
Q

Daily standup meeting

A

Daily meeting with the Last Planner/s (i.e. trade foreman)

25
Q

Learning - Percent Plan Complete

A

of activities completed / # of activities planned
Acceptable range is 75 - 90%

26
Q

Learning - Reasons for Variance

A

Identify reasons for variance and create a variance chart

27
Q

CCSU

A

15 occur in during construction phase
Part A hotspots pertain to planning, scheduling, management or staffing issues
Part B hotspots pertain to materials and equipment
Part C pertain to operating system
Part D pertain to data, audits and certifications
