organisation, challenges and problems by collecting

qualitative and quantitative data.

We then analyse the data and translate it into useful

insights and diagnostic information that can be used

to identify opportunities and develop improvement

solutions.

Finally, we support implementation and execution,

providing as much or as little support as required, so

that our clients realise genuine business impact and

']�IRKEKMRK�SYV�GPMIRXWƶ�WXEǺ��ERH�

Our Solutions

ASSET CREATION

CAPITAL PROJECT DELIVERY

The majority of mega-projects are delayed

(on average by 20 months) or run over

budget (by 80% on average) [McKinsey

June 2015]. SECORA’s mission is to

change the way major construction and

infrastructure projects are planned and

delivered, allowing our clients to eliminate

cost blow-outs and overruns, and ensure

highly productive construction execution.

Our solutions include:

• 5VSNIGX�)IǻRMXMSR���(SRXVEGXMRK�Strategies

• Design for Manufacture & Assembly

• Design for Construction (& on-site Assembly)

• Design for Operation & Disposal

• Productivity Improvement & Lean Intervention

• Integrated BIM &Lean Construction.

SUPPLIER MANAGEMENT &

COLLABORATIVE CONTRACTING

Many Capital Assets are delivered

using Engineering, Procurement

and Construction (EPC) contractors.

Responsibility for delivery is usually

abdicated rather than delegated and

shared, and contracts are often Fixed

Price with penalties for late delivery.

These contracting arrangements typically

inhibit, if not discourage, collaboration and

IǽGMIRG]�

Using our proven Advanced Project

Management tools and Collaborative

Contracting framework, SECORA facilitates

the development, implementation and

monitoring of collaborative contracting

models. We work with Asset Owners, EPC

contractors, and supply chain partners

to establish both the commercial and

behavioural framework for successful

project or contract delivery.

In the absence of an appropriate

contractual structure, optimising value and

minimising waste is extremely challenging.

IMPROVED RETURN ON CAPITAL

MAINTENANCE, SHUTDOWNS,

LOGISTICS OPTIMISATION

SECORA works with maintenance and

operational teams to achieve productivity

improvements and cost reduction, as

well as improving HSE performance and

decreasing risk for clients. Applying our

Lean manufacturing mindset, we identify

and remove waste, simplify maintenance

and operational processes and improve

business performance. Our approach is

to work with client teams to implement

change (and not just recommend change)

and to transfer knowledge and skills to

client teams.

SUPPLY CHAIN OPTIMISATION

For most mega-projects, around 60%

of the costs are in the supply chain.

Poor synchronisation of supply chain

activities is a major contributor to cost

over-runs and project delays. Operating

within increasingly competitive markets,

our clients are expecting greater

IǽGMIRG]��GSWX�VIHYGXMSR�ERH�GSRXMRYSYW�

improvements to come from their entire

supply chain. SECORA works with asset

owners, operators, EPC contractors,

maintenance contractors and facilities

management teams and their suppliers to

identify, develop and implement Supplier

CI programs across the supply chain.

Our Supplier CI framework addresses

all aspects of supplier performance

including an assessment of the enabling

relationships and interfaces within the

supply chain.
