    Advanced Work Packaging

    Open Knowledge Base

    What do experts say about Advanced Work Packaging? (part 2)

    AWP implementation challenges and gaps:

    Expert Interview 1

    Inconsistency in execution

    Having price contract based on alliance to the best value for the dollar

    Expert Interview 2

    Following the changing scope

    Different levels of detail

    Experience with regulations

    Expert Interview 3

    Inconsistency in execution

    Having price contract based on alliance to the best value for the dollar

    Expert Interview 4

    Stakeholders buy-in (cultural challenge)

    Following the changing scope

    Different levels of detail

    Experience and training

    Expert Interview 5

    Lack of senior management buy-in

    Lack of education

    Quality and price of work packaging training and consulting

    Re-allocation of planners to the field -> distracted WorkFace planners

    Expert Interview 6

    Resistance to change

    Weak material tracking system

    WFP is very interdependent process

    Knowledge management

    Expert Interview 7

    Poor job of change management

    Expanded functions of the WF planner

    So many functions

    Number of simultaneously involved stakeholders

    Expert Interview 8

    Lack of consideration of construction in early stages is a weakness of the WorkFace planning system and should be enhanced

    WorkFace Planning is still in early stages of implementation in the industry…so results are not very well documented.

    WFP applied to engineering is a rare practice.

    Engineering think systems

    Procurement think commodities

    Construction think all and geographically

    Different thinking complicated by culture

    Expert Interview 9

    Owners were reluctant to pay any more

    Challenges with getting census with all of the parties about a preferred method to go and so a key part of it is the ability to be resonant and communicate with the disciplines to better communicate

    " We have a lot of studies that we do here internally as far as a collaborative discussion so that’s a team group so that we can get consensus for perhaps a decision that needs to be made but you want to have a consensus with everybody so that they understand why we arrived at the proper consensus."

    Expert Interview 10

    Incompatibility of Work packaging numbering structure with other companies

    Conflict in partnerships

    Expert Interview 11

    Culture and resistance to change.

    Excerpts from Olfa Hamdi's thesis
