The Challenge

Major Capital Asset Commissioning and Startup (CSU) activities are very intensive, highly visible and complex

CSU occurs at the point in a project where the vast majority of the money has been sunk and the owners are anxious for returns

Many different systems or approaches have been used yet success seems to depend more on individuals involved

Common belief has been that this activity is too dynamic and complex to use process thinking

Overlap with construction completion provides point of conflict
