Which system is used to calculate the engineering progress by document weight and progress steps (revision status)

1) the Project scheduling software, such as Primavera,

2) the document control system and master document register

3) another system


HERVE BARON


Which system is used to calculate the engineering progress by document weight and progress steps (revision status)

1) the Project scheduling software, such as Primavera,

2) the document control system and master document register

3) another system, as the progress measurement is done by group of documents, e.g., Unit 12 P&IDs, not by individual document which is the level system 2 goes to. The grouping is finer than that of the scheduling software.

The Oil & Gas Engineering Guide 2nd edition

If your are on the Client side, i.e., contracting Engineering services, this book will help you to:

Specify to an Engineering supplier what you want: what deliverables and with what contents,

Set a standard in Engineering execution that you and your supplier can adhere to: design stages/gates, methods to be used, etc.

Specify the progress report you want, with the meaningful indicators,

Ask the right questions to assess the true progress,

HERVE BARON



If your are on the Contractor side, i.e., performing Engineering activities, this book will help you to:

Understand the work of each discipline and the overall picture,

Challenge what one discipline tells you,

Understand the critical areas,

Put in place the right methods to be successful,
