𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐏𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐭 is grouped by three stage: Preliminary Planning/Design , Detailed Engineering and Construction.
Each stage is very important to ensure accuracy implementation of AWP in your project or program, as Program leader or project leader you have to focus on these three stages detailed below :
1️⃣ 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄 𝐈: 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠/𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧
✅ Project Definition
✅ Construction and Engineering Planning
✅ Refine Schedule & WBS Development
✅ CWP (Construction Work Packages) and EWP (Engineering Work Packages ) Boundary Development
2️⃣ 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄 𝐈𝐈: 𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠
✅ Schedule Development
✅ Engineering (Front End Engineering Details FEED)
✅ Detailed Construction Schedule
3️⃣ 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄 𝐈𝐈𝐈 :𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
✅ IWP (Installation Work Packages ) Development & Ex*****on
✅ System Turn overs / Start up & Commissioning
No matter the type project, no matter the project size and the manner of project delivery, if your project collapse one of these 3 stage your turn over or commissioning will never end. it will take the years of hand over process.
