Our Methodology

Èdge Enhancer has been designed to provide a platform for delivering a successful project. It is a way to define project parameters and of demonstrating your ability to deliver within them. It provides concise information about the project allowing a more informed decision making process during project approval. The solution identifies and quantifies major risks to project success allowing the depiction and demonstration of the most probable delivery date and cost at a very early stage of the project. It answers the three key questions:

• How much will the project cost?
• How long will it take?
• What are our chances of delivering successfully?

What’s Included?

• Work Breakdown Structures (WBS)
• Cost Breakdown Structures (CBS)
• High level scope of Work development
• Technical feasibility and concept verification
• HSE evaluation and planning
• Project strategy development
• High Level Schedule development
• Qualitative and quantitative risk assessment and profile analysis
• Knowledge transfer management

The È-value-ator solution provides a means to independently evaluate the key contractor’s and critical equipment supplier’s ability to deliver. Our Project Specialists will visit and review their plans and schedules to identify potential impacts to the overall project. This solution has been designed to be implemented as part of the tender evaluation process. It provides vital planning and decision making information.

What’s Included?

• Technical evaluation
• Schedule and resources evaluation
• Risk evaluation
• Commercial evaluation

The Success Ènabler solution is a service that adds extra dimensions to the  Èdge Enhancer. It provides identification, quantification and analysis of potential overall cost impact factors based on project execution aspects such as:

• Individual cost influencing elements
• Time influencing elements
• Quality influencing elements

The Success Ènabler  is a method that helps to reach the goal of zero cost impacts, zero time impacts and zero defects by identifying management, mitigation and contingency activities. It will reduce the potential of the influencing elements occurring and limiting their impact on the overall cost of the project thus enabling successful completion of the project

What’s Included?

• Detailed scope of work development and validation
• Detailed budget development
• Detailed schedule development
• Detailed project risk assessment
• Development of a project execution and controls plan
• Basis of design (Concepts) reviews
• Detailed engineering management PEER reviews
• Technical risk evaluation
• Compliance project assurance
• Contract development and review
• Project purchasing and tender management
• Identification and implementation of key performance indicators
• Knowledge transfer management

Our Success Ènsurer solution assures the effective management of the execution phase of the project. It continually and independently monitors the overall project cost and schedule influencing factors empowering the project team to focus on the job in hand.

Our Project Specialists will periodically evaluate the effectiveness of the project team’s level of implementation of processes, PECP, impact reducing mitigation and management activities. This solution will also reduce late delivery of critical equipment.

Our Project Specialists build on the benefits of the È-Value-ator service monitoring and evaluate key suppliers during their manufacturing, fabrication and assembly processes.

Our internationally located Project Engineers will attend and report on Factory Acceptance Testing at international supplier’s and manufacturer’s sites.

Our Construction Supervisors and Quality Assurance/ Quality Control personnel will realise the project zero defect target.

Our Cost and Planning Engineers enhance the teams’ ability to control and monitor project costs and schedule

What’s Included?

• Site management Contract administration
• Risk mitigation, management and contingency implementation
• Technical authority change control co-ordination
• Global procurement and expediting management
• Project document and data control
• Project compliance assurance
• Construction supervision
• Progress and productivity verification and reporting
• Project Assurance including KPI measurement
• Knowledge transfer management

The management of phase changes throughout the project is critical to the success of the project. Our Ènergizer solution provides a means to plan and manage the crucial final phases of the project.

A project can begin with the execution phase followed by the mechanically complete phase, the pre-commissioning phase, the commissioning phase and ends with the handover and start up of operations phase.

Our team of project specialists will plan and manage the process through the commissioning and start up phases.

What’s Included?

• Definition of requirements
• Commissioning planning and procurement
• Start-up planning and procurement
• Activity scheduling
• Specific commissioning and start up risk evaluation
• Commissioning and start-up management and supervision
• Facility work up and Handover

Capturing what went right and what went wrong during a project and having tools and techniques to analyse this data is vital for continual project improvement. Utilizing analysed information to improve processes and techniques is essential. Hindsight can be a great educator and our Èdge-ucator solution is a service designed to ensure that critical lessons learned are captured. This is analysed and reported in a format which will enable knowledge transfer from project to project.

Due to the temporary nature of projects, project personnel are quickly dispersed during the close out phase, this phase is also often the busiest for the project teams.

Our independent Project Specialists use our specifically designed data gathering tool to collect key performance information and analyse the data against pre-determined and agreed criteria.

Our service allows the project team to focus on the delivery of the project, collect and analyse lessons while maintaining flexibility of staffing levels.

What’s Included?

• Capturing what went well and not so well on the project
• Analysis of post project risk and impact profile and effectiveness of approach
• Presentation of data in a format that can be used for the continued improvement in project management and continually increase the probability of successful completion
• Develop As Built drawings
• Compile project close out report and documentation
