Note about the webinar
• I hope this webinar provides you with new elements of discussion that you may use to re-think and re-assess your organizations project delivery maturity and identify areas of improvements
• Although the primary research focus is on industrial construction, many elements of this presentation could very well be applied to other conventional construction sectors

A percentage point increase in productivity is worth $7 billion to the industry as a whole.
The industry is leaving big money on the table!

A Labor-Intensive Business...
6
Facing an increasingly challenging global market, the construction industry has remained a labor-intensive business, struggling to achieve higher capital effectiveness.
• Increased Technical Complexity • Remote Geographical Locations • increasingly congested areas• More Stringent Regulatory Requirements • Higher Political Risk; more difficult to insure • Shortage in skilled labor • Workforce availability • Unbalanced supply and demand in terms of engineering, procurement and
project management services• Unstable commodity pricing

More so than ever, Business and Projects/Engineering concerns are aligned
• Many of these factors are out of control of individual companies and project teams. It is, therefore, more compelling to enhance one's project delivery effectiveness through executing projects the "right way"
• That encompasses mastering project and business risk identification, sharing and management within a project delivery system capable of delivering the promised business value, in a predictable fashion

Reliable and effective constructability strategy
Definition:Constructability Reviews (CR) are “ the optimum use of construction knowledge in planning, design, procurement, and field operations to achieve overall project objectives". (CII)
A Constructability Review (CR) constitutes an analysis of the plant design (usually performed by experienced construction, maintenance, & operations personnel) intended to reduce costs, save time, ensure quality and safety, as well as enhance the management of risk in the construction phase, during plant operation, and during subsequent maintenance of the facility.

How effective is your company's CR process?
q Do you start you CR early in definition? (timing)q Do you have multiple CR sessions throughout the definition phase?
(frequency)q Does your primary Construction Manager (CM) participate in the
review? Will you have a new CM at execution? (continuity of strategy ownership and accountability)
q Do you document your CR? (traceability) q Do you provide enough information as input to your CR (such as
models, site reviews, technology considerations)? (quality)q Do you use corporate project knowledge in your CR? (lessons
learned & continuous improvement)q How involved is your project sponsor in the CR? (alignment with
business)

Linking Together Project Delivery Components:" The Mortar Concept© "
• To enable the holistic effectiveness of all these project delivery components, a project needs to operate within a framework capable of ensuring both the right timing and the optimum quality of information used
• This framework is defined based on two structural features:
1. It needs to support timeliness of decisions through a Project Decision Support System (PDSS©)
2. It needs to ensure accurate project information flow through a workable Project Information Flow Protocol (PIFP©)

Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) is a project delivery system that emphasizes construction as a primary planning driver
24
An Introduction To A New Framework For Successful Construction Project Delivery Olfa Hamdi, MSc Eng, MSc Res
Founder, The Advanced Work Packaging Institute
What is Advanced Work Packaging (AWP)?
“Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) is a work process framework fundamentally based on the idea of thinking with the end in mind. It is designed to allow engineering planning be driven by construction sequencing. Simply put, this is achieved by breaking down the project scope into Construction Work Packages that are fed with Engineering Work Packages.”
25

How is that achieved?1. Extending PEPs to the front-end planning phase; "bringing the field
to the office" 2. A focus on field work packages/installation work packages as
project information units 3. Work packaging structure becomes the skeleton of the project; a
workface planner is dedicated to the management of these packages
4. The benefit of a common intuitive project language and tools

Inside a CWP
CWP Content• Scope description and
constructability strategy • Safety Requirements • Various EWPs (at least one)• Schedule Requirements • Budget (labor
hours/cost/planned productivity rate)
• Quality Requirements • Special Resource Requirements
(tools, equipments etc.)
CWP Features• In line with the overall
construction plan • Typically aligned with a bid
package / multiple CWPs may form one larger bid package
• In alignment with project controls
• Measurable • As independent as possible
32
An Introduction To A New Framework For Successful Construction Project Delivery Olfa Hamdi, MSc Eng, MSc Res

Inside an EWP
EWP Content• Scope of work with equipment
list • Drawings (e.g. general
arrangement and equipment installation)
• Installation and material specifications
• Vendor data • Bill of materials • Additional needed information
such as permitting studies, geotechnical studies etc.
• Connection Points Considerations
EWP Features• Release plan should be
aligned with the construction sequence and priorities
• Content should satisfy various stakeholders requirements
• Planning of EWPs requires construction input!!
• EWPs are discipline and area-driven; connections points expected
• Interface management should be accounted for

O.H. Vision for AWP and the construction industry
• AWP is currently a strong experience based model; theoretical validation pending
• Aiming for an industry-wide protocol; project information mapping is a first step but it should be executed in parallel to other industry-wide efforts
• The AWP system requires further design – Mostly a human-powered decision making system – Spatial representation of projects needs to be integrated with business
decisions – More to do in terms of quantification, storage, communication of
information – Integration and interoperability are key
• We are still far from automation but we are heading in the right direction – Our industry needs to learn from other sectors and experiences – We need to capitalize on those successful implementations cases– We need to bring in the best talents from the IT sector to
revolutionize our industry
