CII Vision for Fully Integrated and Automated Project Processes (FIAPP)
• Fully Integrated and Automated Project Processes = FIATECH
• CII identified supply chain challenges.― Three research teams investigated.
― Design, procurement, materials mgmt, eBusiness
• FIATECH responded with new project:― Automating Equipment Information Exchange (AEX)
• Move AEX results into Best Practices.– PEpC and supplier integration

Interoperability
The ability to electronically
communicate product and project
data between collaborating firms’
and within individual companies’ design,
procurement, construction,
maintenance, operations, and business
process systems.

“The cost of inadequate
interoperability in the U.S.
capital facilities industry:
$15.8 billion per year.”
- NIST

Equipment Engineer/Procure Process
• Ten-plus applications (many software suppliers)
• Four to five companies involved per each equipment type
• Large, complex engineering data sets
• Lots of hands touch the data:– engineers using manual transcription and tools– manually checked by other engineers– done multiple times for single piece of equipment– done for hundreds, thousands of equipment per facility– done for thousands of facilities across industry
• Costs industry millions of dollars per year

AEX ProjectAutomating Equipment Information eXchange
Goal• Streamline equipment supply chain• Eliminate redundant input of data• Automate information exchange
Approach• Focus on high value problems• Develop partnerships: API, HI, LCI, PIP,…• Demonstrate incremental solutions
Products• XML specifications and industry guidelines• Specs given to standards organizations

Benefits of AEX
• DuPont/EPC/pump supplier team: ― E-enabling engineer and procure ≥ 5.25% savings― Estimate: $12.5 million reduction yearly in
equipment supply chain costs
• “We are extremely pleased with the results of this work.” Jim Porter, VP, DuPont Engineering & Operations
• “The AEX project delivers a pragmatic approach to widespread adoption of reusable data exchange across the industry.”Robin Benjamins, Mgr, Bechtel Info. Systems & Technology

AEX Benefits to Owners
• Decreases supply chain costs.
• Streamlines interactions with suppliers and subcontractors.
• Enables continued use of preferred software.
• Reduces cycle time for equipment.
• Reduces errors and redundant data entry.
• Improves quality (intelligence) of data handover.

AEX Benefits to EPCs
• Reduces cycle time for equipment.
• Reduces project time, costs, and risks.
• Streamlines interactions with suppliers and subcontractors.
• Enables continued use of preferred software.
• Reduces errors and redundant data entry.
• Improves delivered value to customers.

Why Use XMLfor Data Exchange?
• Internet standard for intelligent document content
• Foundation for intelligent Web services
• Foundation for B2B e-commerce
Proven technology, ready to use
XML = eXtensible Markup Language
