SmartPlant® Enterprise for Owner Operators Project Execution
1 / 2Pages

SOLUTION SHEET BENEFITS: • Simple capture, retrieval, and analysis across the project life cycle for key project management processes. • Powerful impact analysis from tight integration between project execution processes and affected plant objects in the SPO Core solution. SMARTPLANT® ENTERPRISE FOR OWNER OPERATORS PROJECT EXECUTION SOLUTION Managing projects to ensure delivery on schedule, to specification, and within budget is a major challenge for owner operators and project management contractors (PMCs). The increasing size, complexity, and globalization of projects mean that traditional ways of managing projects are no longer sufficient. The Intergraph® SmartPlant® Enterprise for • Powerful management reporting for overall visibility, enabling proactive intervention and better decision-making. Owner Operators (SPO) Project Execution solution builds upon the SPO Core solution • A common environment for ensured adherence to project procedures, demonstrable compliance, and complete auditable traceability through automated work processes. Management of technical/site queries (also known as Requests for Information). • Reduced risk of project cost or schedule impact from inadequate management of project interfaces, change, non- conformity, or queries. Interface management. • Clear line of sight between Project Execution work processes through cross-references to provide complete traceability. For example, a technical query arising from a site can result in a temporary or permanent non-conformity or a project change that could impact an interface item. The ability to link these project execution work processes enables complete oversight. • Rapid, low-risk implementation based on preconfigured work processes. and provides pre-configured processes supporting key work processes for successfully managing the execution of greenfield and brownfield projects. These processes include: Traditional methods of managing these processes through spreadsheets or electronic archive solutions do not give sufficient visibility or control of these critical project management processes. The SPO Project Execution solution offers management reports to focus attention and help avoid negative impacts to project schedule and cost. The solution uniquely provides close links between these processes and the underlying engineering design basis to facilitate fast impact analysis. MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE IN PROJECTS Changes to the approved project design basis are the single greatest influence on project cost and schedule. Any major project will be subject to thousands of changes, of which hundreds may be under consideration at any given time. The process of evaluating changes is complex, involving many technical and administrative stakeholders in the project, and the complexity is compounded by overlapping scopes between changes. The SPO Project Execution management of change process provides a unique level of change control within projects, and provides management with increased visibility through management reporting. This includes the critical distinction between development within existing project scope (commercial and design development) and changes to existing project scope (commercial and design changes). Changes are referenced to the underlying engineering design basis items affected: tags, documents, and parts of the Plant Breakdown Structure. This enables change impact analysis against other changes (either already approved for implementation or und

impacted by the change under consideration. Similarly, the impact on associated processes such as interface items, which would potentially be affected if the change were implemented, can be clearly seen. The SPO management of change process uses automated workflows to ensure auditable traceability through the review, approval, and implementation cycle, and to demonstrate compliance and adherence with project authorization procedures.
