Q

Name 5 objectives of Interface management

A
  • Identify technical, execution, and organization interfaces
  • Create clear understanding of roles

Q

Work elements of an interface include using a structured process as the initial step and documenting expectations from different groups. Name three others

A
  • Ensure agreement between parties

Q

What is an Interface Register?

A

A way to document and track things which include a reference number, description of the expected/required deliverable, date info is needed, delivery date, a ‘closeout’ date, and status

15
Q

Although the overall project schedule will be interactive, when do you have to freeze it and why? What else must be frozen?

A

Schedule and Preliminary design must be frozen. You have to freeze the schedule as early as possible to avoid completion slippage. Once schedules & prelim designs are frozen, a management of change procedure is activated

16
Q

When should design be frozen?

A

Early; at the completion of preliminary design basis and at the end of pre-FEED

17
Q

FEED should be an extension of___consisting of ___ detail

A

Preliminary design, consisting of additional detail. Note that the additional detail will also be included in interface matrix

18
Q

At the completion of FEED, a ___ design basis should be ready

A

Firm

19
Q

After FEED, are changes allowed?

A

Changes like fluid properties, reservoir details, etc, which are expected. But you want to avoid big cahnges (though you can change with MOC) Defining the scope early is vital to the success of the project

20
Q

If we change things like number of wells, host facility designation, what is it subject to? I.e. what are bigger changes subject to?

A

MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE

21
Q

When you make changes, who else should you consider?

A

Interface holders! Remember, it may have an impact on their deliverables

22
Q

Who most agree before changes are implemented?

A

Them project managers

23
Q

Once a change has been approved, what should be updated and for whose benefit is it updated?

A

Design basis can be modified and given to interface holders so everyone knows what is going on (works towards a common goal). Also, Interface Register must also be updated

24
Q

Once a change has been approved, what should remain the same? What should be updated for the revised delivery dates

A

The interface matrix

The interface register needs to be updated for any revised delivery dates

25
Q

This kind of system is where interface managers communicate on a common level (one up-one down)?

A

Distributed/Dispersed Interface Control

26
Q

This kind of system is where interface managers at all levels have a two way communication with project interface manager

A

Centralized Interface Control

27
Q

What is one pro and one con with Dispersed/Distributed Interface Control?

A 
\+ = maximizes input of supplier-technical interface
- = compromise of central authority
28
Q

What is the main idea/+ of centralized interface control?

A

Maximizes influence/authority of project interface manager

29
Q

Define Interface

A

A common boundary between systems, equipment, concepts, organizations, and/or people
