Execution Planning Flashcards
03 key techniques
Advanced Work Packaging / AWP
Last Planner System / LPS
Pre-construction Planning for Commissioning & Startup
What is AWP
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
02 key principles of AWP
Determining and following a Path of Construction
Providing constraints free IWP for execution
Modularization in AWP
Modularization should be considered early in AWP process
AWP Vocabulary
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
AWP implementation model
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)
03 stages of AWP
Stage 1 - Preliminary planning or design
Stage 2 - Detailed design
Stage 3 - Construction
03 maturity levels of AWP
Stage 1 - AWP Early stage
Stage 2 - AWP Effectiveness
Stage 3 - AWP Business Transformation
02 key roles in AWP
AWP champion (reports to project manager)
Workface planner (reports to construction manager or performance management manager)
AWP Data Requirements Implementation Guide by CII
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
10 tools for AWP implementation
AWP maturity model
AWP glossary
AWP contractor qualification questionnaire
AWP major deliverables by stage
AWP project definition assessment tool (assesses readiness before start of AWP)
AWP audit tool by phase (to assess conformity to AWP)
AWP project integration flow charts (how key functions can be integrated in AWP project delivery workflow)
AWP functional role descriptions
CWP and EWP templates
IWP checklists by discipline (determine contents of IWP)
Last Planner System
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
06 principles of LPS
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
05 connected conversations in LPS
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
