The vast majority of failures are due to managerial aspects

Only 2.5% of companies deliver their projects within the deadline, costs, scope and with the benefits expected for the business.

How do Companies React?

Establishment of Capital Project ‘Center of Excellence’ / Centralized PMO

  • Central planning and execution across regions with resource optimisation
  • Establish interdependencies and central coordination between functions
  • Clearly defined criteria for group level control and strengthened functions for

Group support including:

  • Project portfolio prioritisation and optimisation within set criteria to

inform future investments and risk profile of major capital projects;

  • Enhanced maturity of business cases, via cross-functional teams;
  • Increased transparency on project and portfolio performance;
  • Standardized project development /execution (consistency and quality);
  • Improved support in contract formation and enforcement
  • Enhanced use of project steering committee’s, and group level investment

and procurement committees

Modeling Risks Using Monte Carlo

  • Based on the risk probabilities and ranges, thousands of unique

possibilities are simulated.

  • Probabilities trigger risks & impact are randomly selected from

distribution range

  • Workshops help identify risks, likelihoods, and potential impact
  • Typically a three-point estimate, as follows:

Optimistic – The best possible outcome if the risk occurs Most Likely – The most likely outcome if the risk occurs Pessimistic – The worst possible outcome if the risk occurs

  • A three-point estimates is typically modeled by a triangular distribution

Pessimistic Most Likely Optimistic

Triangular Distribution : When each risk

  • ccurs, its impact will be along the

defined distribution (three point estimate), randomly Each risk has a unique distribution

Description Observations Actions

This chart illustrates the documents, e-mails, testing, meetings and events that are relevant to the negotiations of root-cause analysis Based on the assessed risks, there were large periods of time when SEC did not respond to specific requests, causing delays. Issue notice of delay, notify insurers, and underwriters of SEC failure, and quantify damages resulting from delay.

  • Reducing owner/employer design/drawing review time;
  • Unrealistic early completion schedules;
  • Artificial activity durations to hide float;
  • Artificial logic to hide float (sequestering);
  • Artificial logic to exaggerate known delays;
  • Selective issue of progress information;
  • Progress updates with no historic as-built data;
  • Incorrect actual dates in progress updates;
  • Changing historical data in final as-built;
  • Unidentified logic/duration changes in updates.

This graphic shows the percentage of open ends (i.e. activities without predecessors or successors) in the updates analyzed in this report. Then number of open ends has been substantially reduced in the last two updates. This is a good trend and indicates that the team is taking steps forward to enhance the quality of the schedule.duration overruns . Ensure that open ends in the schedule are kept to a minimum.

slide-30
SLIDE 30

Description Observations Actions

This graphic shows the number of each relationship type in the schedule updates

  • analyzed. In order for a logic tie to be valid, it has

to be linked to an incomplete task (e.g. not a completed task, LOE, etc.) There are a number of start to finish task in the schedule the usage of which is highly discouraged due to the ambiguous nature of the tie. Eliminate SF relationships where possible and replace these with more suitable schedule ties (e.g. FS, SS).path.

Notes:

Case Study 1

slide-31
SLIDE 31

Description Observations Actions

This graphic summarizes the various constraint types in the schedule. Hard constraints which

  • verride the logic may dampen the ability to

accurately report the project's critical path. As of the May 2012 update, all hard constraints have been eliminated with the overall number of constraints dropping as well. This is a positive trend in the quality of the schedule. Excessive use of constraints impedes ability to determine the project’s critical path Increasing constraints could indicate ‘lazy’/ bad scheduling

  • practices. Confirm need for hard constraints

Schedule Analytics - Hard Constraint Check

Notes:

Case Study 1

slide-32
SLIDE 32

Description Observations Actions

This chart shows the distribution of the float values reported in the schedule for all of the remaining tasks. Over 50% of tasks have over 70 days of float. For a project with only 13 months of remaining duration, this percentage is excessive and may be an indication of missing logic ties. Ensure that all tasks are properly linked to the project's completion milestone and that the float is accurately reported

Schedule Analytics - High Float Check

Notes:

Case Study 1

slide-33
SLIDE 33

Description Observations Actions

This chart shows the distribution of the durations reported in the schedule for all of the remaining tasks. Since the schedule is updated on a monthly basis, the target should be to have as many activities as possible with a duration of one month or less. In the latest update, about 60% of tasks fall into that category. Where possible, tasks should be broken down into a higher level of detail to improve the ability to track progress on a monthly basis.

CP&I – Selected thought leadership

Risk management and schedule management on mega-projects. Since your day-to-day business is construction, you know construction projects are inherently risky. Managing this risk is essential and, like any other important management or oversight function, is either done well or it is a wasted effort that can risk everything. Capital project owners have focused on improving governance structures; yet too many projects still fail to deliver on cost, schedule or quality commitments. The consequence of failure can be public embarrassment and disappointed stakeholders Quantitative risk analysis. As major capital projects are subjected to greater regulatory and political scrutiny, the pressure on contractors to meet tight schedule and budgetary constraints

  • increases. Often cost and schedule targets are reported without accounting for potential risks and

impacts, which leads to an erosion of confidence in reaching those targets. Having a systematic quantitative risk analysis process in place to gauge the confidence level of the project’s cost and schedule is important for establishing realistic expectations. Schedule analytics tools As capital project spend increases and aggressive deadlines are built into project schedules, the reliance on accurate, transparent and meaningful schedule practices is growing. Too often, major projects suffer from missed milestones, schedule slippage and delays with no way of determining recovery plans or realistic forecast completion dates. Optimizing capital project delivery. A major US utility was finalizing its plans to construct new plants costing several billion dollars. Working in a highly regulated environment, the client recognized the importance of a strong control environment to manage the project. The client requested a governance readiness review to determine whether its systems and controls could support a project of this magnitude and complexity.
