The Power of Integrated Planning for AWP: A Client Success Story

A billion-dollar expansion project in the Gulf States region partnered with O3 to introduce AWP in the FEED stage.

The Challenge:

Implementing AWP for the first time can be intimidating. With little to no access to critical information that impacts the planning process, planning becomes even more daunting. Meanwhile, the project team struggled to uphold data requirements and follow best practices across multiple contractors with a manual process.

The Solution:

To fully implement AWP, project teams have to start from the very beginning of the project. ONPlan is O3’s solution to help set the project up for success with Advanced Work Packaging in the front-end planning phase.

With ONPlan, the project:

• Identified best practices for the project
• Built corresponding package workflows
• Created AWP Master Index of packages
• Determined standardized Rules of Credit

Results:

• Reduced Workface Planners staffing budget by 50%
• Forecasting manhours to accurately scope packages
• Improved CWP handoff to construction
• Engineering and Construction planning and prioritizing work across all stakeholders
