CAPEX Management Process Delivers 3 Projects OTIF

The client engaged our consultants to help them achieve on-time installation of three Capex projects that were critical to hitting the annual revenue target
All three projects were thought to be behind schedule but it was unclear due to the lack of an integrated plan and schedule
Production that was to be provided by the operating units under construction was already committed to the customer and any delay or startup issue could create a significant commercial risk and damage to the customer relationship
Site management lacked urgency and discipline around challenging delays and issues.
Project progress reporting was not sufficient to understand current progress, costs, and risk

Installed Integrated Planning and Scheduling process
Implemented S-Curve Cost and Time Tracking
Conducted risk identification and mitigation workshops to ensure projects were completed OTIF and were ready to meet production targets upon commissioning.
Designed and installed a management system including short interval controls, metrics, and formal review meetings to give management visibility into issue and forums to resolve as a team
Integrated contractor management controls into execution and planning, including a daily SIC for cost and progress. Weekly estimates and detailed project plans required.

Zero major safety incidents with 10K+ person hours
All three projects were delivered On-Time, In Full (OTIF) despite initial delays
All three projects came in under budget demonstrating the effectiveness of the implemented cost controls
Successful ramp up of all three assets – Each asset achieved 100% production plan in the quarter following commissioning
