🚀 Mastering the Planning Process in Engineering Projects 🚀 Hey Planning Engineers! Let's dive into the essential stages of our projects, ensuring everything runs smoothly and on schedule. Here's a breakdown of the key phases using the example of a project involving Reverse Osmosis (RO) & Flow Control Valves (FCV) 🚰🔧: 🔴 Bid/Evaluate/Award of Contract: 🔴 RFQ (Request for Quotation) 📄: Invite suppliers to bid for providing products or services. 🔴 TBE (Technical Bid Evaluation) 🛠️: Assess bids based on technical specifications. 🔴 CBE (Commercial Bid Evaluation) 💼: Evaluate bids based on commercial terms. 🔴 Issue of Purchase Order 📝: Formal issuance of the purchase order to the selected vendor. 🔵 Manufacturing and Delivery of RO & FCV: Engineering 🧑🔬: Design and engineering phase to ensure technical compliance. 🔴 Procurement 🛒: Sourcing and purchasing materials and components. 🔴 Fabrication 🏭: The actual manufacturing process. 🔴 Final Testing (FAT) ✅: Ensure equipment meets all specified requirements. 🔴 FOB (Free on Board) 🚢: Supplier's responsibility ends, buyer's begins. 🔴 Delivered at Site 📦: Transport and deliver equipment to the project site. Close Out Report 📊: Documentation and reporting on project completion. ❌ Backup Raw Water Intake Pumps (Cancelled): Sometimes, projects or specific tasks may get canceled due to various reasons. It's crucial to document these changes and adjust plans accordingly. ✨ Why These Phases Matter: Understanding these phases helps us maintain control over project timelines, costs, and quality. Each step ensures that we meet the necessary requirements and deliver successful outcomes. 📢 Call to Action: Ready to enhance your planning skills?

🌟 *Attention Planning Engineers!* Dive into the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) Schedule *Planning Engineers!!* let’s explore a critical document that plays a pivotal role in the success of engineering projects - the FEED schedule. This document outlines the typical engineering activities and their timelines during the FEED phase of a project. 🔍 *Understanding the FEED Schedule:* The FEED schedule is a roadmap that details the engineering activities and their durations, helping to ensure all tasks are completed on time and within budget. It serves as a foundation for project planning, enabling accurate resource allocation and timeline management. *Join Upcoming Session for Planning Control using Primavera p6* WhatsApp for more details +92 328 3046072 Visit website for more details www.theskillsage.com #primaverap6 #engineers #constructionmanagement #projectmanagement #planningengineers

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬? Constraints are restrictions or rules applied to activities to align them with specific project requirements, deadlines, or dependencies. They can override calculated start or finish dates and offer greater control over scheduling. 𝐓𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚 𝐏6 1️⃣ 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬: Used to fix activity dates: ⭕ 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐎𝐧/𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐎𝐧: Forces an activity to start or finish on a specific date. ⭕ 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐍𝐨 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧/𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐍𝐨 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧: Prevents activities from starting/finishing before a set date. ⭕ 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐍𝐨 𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧/𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐍𝐨 𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧: Ensures activities do not exceed specified dates. 2️⃣ 𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬: These allow the schedule to adjust: ⭕ 𝐀𝐬 𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐀𝐬 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞: Pushes the activity to the latest possible date without delaying the project. ⭕ 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭/𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡: Overrides all logic and enforces fixed dates, regardless of dependencies. Best Practices for Using Constraints Use constraints sparingly to maintain the flexibility of your schedule. Opt for "soft constraints" like Start No Earlier Than to balance control with logic-driven scheduling. Document constraints for easy tracking and communication with stakeholders. ✅ 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 Constraints in Primavera P6 are invaluable for aligning project schedules with real-world requirements. However, careful use is essential to avoid unintended impacts on critical paths and float calculations. 🔑 𝐏𝐫𝐨 𝐓𝐢𝐩: Combine constraints with baseline tracking to effectively monitor their impact on project timelines.

An As-Built But-For (ABBF) Schedule Delay Analysis determines the earliest date that mechanical completion activity, project completion activity, or various milestones could have been achieved but-for owner-caused compensable delays. In this article, Long International Founder Richard J. Long, P.E., P.Eng., explains why the ABBF Schedule #DelayAnalysis methodology is useful, the As-Built Calculation Schedule, quantification of delays, and interpreting results. #construction #constructionlaw #claimsmanagement #constructionindustry #constructionmanagement

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): 1. Engineering Productivity Ratio (EPR): (Design/Engineering Hours) x 100 2. Procurement Efficiency Ratio (PER): (Procured Items/Total Items) x 100 3. Construction Productivity Index (CPI): (Installed Quantity/Total Quantity) x 100 4. Project Schedule Performance Index (SPI) 5. Cost Performance Index (CPI) 6. Earned Value (EV) Methodologies: 1. Earned Value Management (EVM) 2. Critical Path Method (CPM) 3. Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) 4. Resource Leveling 5. Lean Principles Tools and Techniques: 1. Gantt Charts 2. Resource Allocation Charts 3. Burn-Down Charts 4. Velocity Charts 5. Productivity Software (e.g., MS Project, Primavera) EPC-Specific Productivity Metrics: 1. Engineering Design Efficiency (EDE): (Design Output/Design Hours) x 100 2. Procurement Cycle Time (PCT): Time taken to procure materials 3. Construction Labor Productivity (CLP): (Installed Quantity/Labor Hours) x 100 4. Material Utilization Rate (MUR): (Used Materials/Total Materials) x 100 5. Equipment Utilization Rate (EUR): (Equipment Hours/Total Equipment Hours) x 100 Benefits: 1. Improved resource allocation 2. Enhanced project efficiency 3. Reduced costs 4. Increased productivity 5. Better decision-making Challenges: 1. Data accuracy and reliability 2. Complexity in measuring productivity 3. Variability in project tasks 4. Ensuring stakeholder buy-in 5. Maintaining productivity momentum Best Practices: 1. Establish clear project objectives 2. Define measurable productivity metrics 3. Conduct regular productivity analysis 4. Identify and address productivity bottlenecks 5. Continuously monitor and adjust Productivity Analysis Steps for EPC Projects: 1. Define project scope and objectives 2. Identify key productivity metrics 3. Collect and analyze data (engineering, procurement, construction) 4. Calculate productivity ratios and indices 5. Interpret results and identify areas for improvement 6. Develop and implement improvement plans
