Overview Capital project owners, engineering, procurement, and construction contractors and supporting service organizations are searching for means to dramatically reduce the cost of capital projects. Owners/ Operators are driving change through contracting strategy, contract language, contract deliverables and performance metrics. In response, EPC companies are striving to attain productivity improvements by utilizing plant design, material management, and construction software and technology platforms.
Endeavor enables its clients to integrate people, processes and tools. Often our client is a diverse group of thought leaders whose objective is to identify issues and seek improvement in data accuracy, visibility and integration across the project life cycle. Endeavor brings expert advice, impartial perspective and change management tools to the solution space.
Our Understanding of the Need There is the lack of communication and alignment between EPC Contractor requirements and software-‐provider products and solutions. Project delivery organizations are inherently process-‐centric. Software and technology is recognized as an enabler, not a panacea. New technology platforms often do not mirror existing work processes, thus delaying and diminishing capture of desired productivity (business value proposition). Preparing software end users to see and accept how changes impact their daily work is essential to realizing a quicker return on investment.
Some examples of areas that are challenged by the alignment of people, processes and tools are:
• Transparency in the flow of design and materials data • Standardization of work processes, systems, and organizations across multiple locations
or companies • Selection of systems that improve net overall value of essential EPC work processes • Rework due scope changes, errors, and design omissions • Communication gaps between home office engineering and the field • Construction productivity • Work processes and systems enabling increased savings from facility modularization • Identifying changes in work processes and roles required resulting from deployment of a
new technology platform
