The course is illustrated with numerous examples and exercises. The teaching method is interactive and combines with participants own experience. Specialists from industry share general concepts as well as personal experience with participants.

Course Value

Provide participants a broad understanding of project management processes and techniques. On completion of the course, the participants are able to:

Have a global view of the project management processes and the practice and application of projects

Determine a contracting strategy and build a project execution plan to adapted to every projects

Understand the relationship of owners, contractors and main actors of the project

Identify and manage the critical interfaces in various steps of project implementation

Understand the key factors and conditions for a successful project.

Course Participants

Responsible person of a company, department manager and project manager, assistant project management, construction manager, HSE manager, EPC responsible person and project manager

Duration

5-12 days

Course Structure

• Project Phases

Definition and approval: basic and front end engineering design, appropriation request, and capital investment decision.

Execution: bidders prequalification, bidding phase, contract award, engineering, procurement and construction

• Contracting

Contracting strategy: setting up a contracting plan and selecting the most effective type of contract to meet the objectives, level of service required and degree of responsibility of the parties involved.

Check the following contents: advantages and disadvantages of different types of contracts. Terms and conditions. Roles and responsibilities of different parties.

• Project Management

From Owners & Contractors standpoint: expectations, constraints and relation with project stakeholders.

Project Execution Plan: organization charts, roles and responsibilities, procedures, calendar (meetings and reviews), milestones.

Resource management: mobilization, staffing plan, task force set-up, team building.

Risk management: project reviews, risk assessment, monitoring and control.

Administration: reporting, change order procedure, claims handling, incentives and penalties, right to audit.

Modern ProjectManagement: latest development. Successful factors and typical pitfalls of execution.

• Project Controls

Basis: Work and Organization Breakdown structures (WBS and OBS), assignment of responsibilities (cost and time).

Cost control: cost estimation and optimization through value engineering reviews, cost control and cost reports requirements.

Planning and scheduling: critical paths, bar charts and precedence diagrams, level of details required, resources allocation, manpower loading curves.

Process monitoring: typical process curves (engineering and construction “S” curves), earned value concept, corrective actions to deal with potential overruns and/or delays

• Engineering and Procurements

Basis: process and project design data, scope of work, battery limits and interconnections.

Deliverables: purpose, document distribution and review/approval matrix, administration and filing.

Engineering and procurement execution plan: overview of work processes; typical pitfalls during detailed design.

Project reviews: HAZOP, reliability, operability, maintainability, constructability. Use 3D piping model for design reviews and training purpose.Equipment and bulk freight management, from design through delivery and installation. Materials take off.

Procurement organization and schedule: prequalification of vendors, inquiries, bid evaluations, purchase orders, expediting, vendor drawings approval, inspection, transportation, transit and delivery at site; alternatives and risk.

• Construction, Commissioning, and Completion

Constructability concepts: modularization, pre-assembly, standardization, interfaces between design, fabrication and erection.

Subcontracting: work packages, subcontracting plan, inquiries, bid evaluations, subcontracts award and administration

Construction execution plan: construction management, organization chart, temporary facilities, field supervision, quality control, field engineering support - Monitoring “hold items” on drawings, "as built" documentation, managing changes and deviations - Occupational safety and health requirements for subcontractors, waste management.

Project completion: pre-commissioning, resolution of outstanding punch list items, mechanical acceptance, and facilities handover to the operation team for commissioning and start-up--Lessons learnt, project close-out report.
