What is AWP for Front-End Planning?
SET UP YOUR AWP IMPLEMENTATION FOR SUCCESS, STARTING WITH THE END IN MIND
According to the Construction Industry Institute, owners, EPC firms and contractors regularly realize the performance and safety benefits of Advanced Work Packaging (AWP), with savings of up to 10% of the total installed cost of the project and productivity increase of up to 25% in the field. The higher the maturity of the AWP in a project, the greater the benefits. Successful organizations understand that to fully implement the AWP, you must start from the beginning of the project.
WHY IT'S NECESSARY
The full AWP requires prior planning
Achieving all the benefits of the AWP requires the commitment to deliver the AWP process from the beginning of the project. Many Owners mistakenly see the AWP as something the Contractor needs to do.
The process of measuring lack of visibility can be difficult, especially when the results of this process have rear-facing delay indicators that are not apparent until the damage is done.
Point solutions
Professional service organizations have developed Excel or Access-based solutions that cannot be scaled.
