Lessons Learned Through The Commissioning Lens – How collaborative is your Commissioning and Start-Up strategy?
Commissioning and Start-Up of large capital projects paints the final picture of success in the execution of the project scope of work. Early planning and coordination of key project milestones and system interdependencies can greatly affect the timelines to achieve steady-state operations. The purpose of this article is to assist you in an evaluation of your current strategy for Pre-Commissioning, Commissioning and Start-Up. Here are a few key points to consider:
- Have you created a collaborative project environment by engaging all stakeholders early in the project lifecycle?
- Do you have a clear understanding of each of the stakeholder’s expectations and requirements?
- Have you integrated the Commissioning and Start-up execution philosophy with the overall project execution strategy?
- Are you driving project start-up prioritization feeding backward to construction by starting with the end in mind?
- Did you define clear start-up objectives and performance metrics feeding forward to Commissioning?
- Can you provide a real-time measure of performance of Commissioning to ensure achievement of safety, quality, cost and schedule performance?
