The Core Challenge
When Mega Goes GIGA
The Core Challenge: GIGA is a “Supply” Problem
When Mega Goes GIGA
Equipment Suppliers Bulk Material Suppliers Consumables Suppliers Financing Arrangements Cash Flow Rate of Decision Making Owner Personnel PMC Personnel Design Engineering Skilled Labor Technical Experts Feasibility FEED Design Procure Construct Commission & S/U
Concentrate the Buy – But Don’t Hurt Yourself
Å Program Leveraged Pricing Agreements Can Deliver Significant Savings Å GIGA Volumes Can Bring Very Low Prices Å GIGA Volumes Can Overwhelm Suppliers Å GIGA Must Limit the Volume Committed to Any One Supplier Å GIGA Must Maintain a Higher Expediting/Inspection Presence
When Mega Goes GIGA
Strategic Sourcing
Å What Volumes Will You Buy that the Market Will Struggle to Supply?
– Rotating Equipment? – Analyzers? – Special Metallurgy? – Switchgear? – Etc…
Å Pinch Points Require Special Mitigation Efforts
When Mega Goes GIGA
Nonlinearities
When Mega Goes GIGA
GIGA is Not an Extrapolation of Your Past Experiences
When Mega Goes GIGA
Small Large Mega GIGA
Effort & Expertise Required Project Size
Examples of GIGA Nonlinearities
Å FEED Iterations – Massive Parallel Optimizations Å Interface Management – The Number & Complexity of Interface Points Å Change Management – The Domino Effect Å Risk Management – On Steroids Å Personnel Turnover Å Learning & Leveraging Å Black Swans Redefined – Typically Small Risks are Now Large
When Mega Goes GIGA
New Capabilities Required
When Mega Goes GIGA
New Capabilities Required by GIGA
Å A Four-Dimensional Organization with Proactive Morphing Å Standardization Plus Å Office of Intervention Å Integrated Asset Delivery Å Strategic Float Å Staying Aligned – Organizational Effectiveness Å 1st Product Team Å Proactively Managing ‘Black Swans’
When Mega Goes GIGA
Small Things that Grow Up to be Big
Å Attracting & Retaining Talent Å Career Management Å Financing Support Å Community Relations Å Construction Workforce Marshalling
When Mega Goes GIGA
Contracting Potpourri
When Mega Goes GIGA
There is No Single Contracting Style that Fits GIGA
Å OSBL/Infrastructure is Always Late Getting its Process Data, but Must Startup 1st Å Attracting Sufficient Bids Requires a Mix of Contracting Types Å Newer Technologies are Still On Their Learning Curves – Scope Changes Likely Å It’s Best Not to Let the Market Split Up Your Packages – Scale Them to the Market Å The Result: All Types of Contracts for which You Need to Be Prepared to Manage
When Mega Goes GIGA
Back to Fundamentals
When Mega Goes GIGA
GIGA is Intolerant of Forgetting to Do the Basics Well
Å Full Staffing of Project Teams with Experienced Personnel Å Complete & Robust FEL Work & FEED Packages Å Full Implementation of Value-Improving Practices Å Benchmarking Å Gate Reviews Å Integrated, Backward Pass, Resource Loaded Scheduling Å Progress & Critical Path Monitoring & Reporting Å Robust Change Management Å Vigorous Risk Management Å Proactive Contract Management
