12. FEL 1 Mistakes Premature initiation Uncertain schedule, cost, capacity targets Ignoring technology risks www.ConcepSysSolutions.com - Adnan Siddiqui Image by elisharene via flickr.com
13. FEL 1 Traps We are using proven technology We will just scale up to new capacity This plant is just a copy of the existing one Past performance guarantees future performance www.ConcepSysSolutions.com - Adnan Siddiqui
14. FEL 2 Mistakes Premature completion Incomplete alternative evaluation Lack of operation input www.ConcepSysSolutions.com - Adnan Siddiqui Image by jonathan_moreau via flickr.com
15. FEL 2 Traps The gray boxes can be resolved later Inadequate attention to OSBL scope Incomplete or dysfunctional team Making the scope fit the expected cost instead of the expected objectives Lack of experienced process engineer involvement Inadequate peer / expert review www.ConcepSysSolutions.com - Adnan Siddiqui
16. FEL 3 Mistakes Inadequate detail Too much detail Ignorance of local conditions Poor resource planning Assumptions from FEL-2 are not verified or eliminated as needed www.ConcepSysSolutions.com - Adnan Siddiqui Image by proimos via flickr.com

20. If you have too few people on a project, they can’t solve the problems. www.ConcepSysSolutions.com - Adnan Siddiqui
21. Bonus Content Seven Laws of Projects (Matthew E. May) If you have too many, they create more problems than they can solve. A carelessly planned project will take three times longer to complete than expected. A carefully planned project will only take twice as long as expected. Ten estimators will estimate the same work in ten different ways. And one estimator will estimate ten different ways at ten different times. www.ConcepSysSolutions.com - Adnan Siddiqui

Seminar Abstract“Right from the Start – Mistakes and traps to avoid while developing and planning your capital projects”Proper planning of capital projects is critical to final outcome. To achieve a project’s goals with respect to cost, schedule, quality, and operation, project teams must deliver a high quality conceptual design and project plan. This webinar will start with an overview of current best practices and tools for project planning. After sharing the latest knowledge and research from leading project management entities, the webinar will list common mistakes and traps to avoid during project planning to ensure your project’s success. This webinar should be attended by project managers, process engineers, design engineers, and others involved in developing and planning capital projects.
The level of detail must be sufficient to match a business or company’s financial risk tolerance.Discuss tradeoff between certainty and wasted effort for canceled projectsDiscuss impact of company culture on schedule vs. cost tradeoffs
The red line indicates your ability to influence project costs (your influence declines as the project proceeds – the early decisions set the project cost)The blue line is the project cumulative (can also refer to cost of changes) – adding equipment on flowsheet is much easier than adding equiment during EPC phase or in the field before startup
Typical front-end planning processFEL-1Led by the commercial / business team (marketing, finance, supply chain)May involved R&D and senior process engineersFEL-2 Typically the first contact with engineering Core engineering team and project leadership is establishedFEL-3Engineering team expanded – contractor engagement as necessary by the owner to bring discipline depth and capacityAdd graphic to address how the process is not isolated and outside factors (market conditions, competitor capital spending, government regulations, etc.) constrain as well as influence and disrupt this process
Add graphic to indicate preliminary schedule and cost estimate or expectations are established in this stage
Resource planning includes: Engineering, construction, bulks, major equipment.
