ENGINEERING DELIVERABLES IN PRIMAVERA [ORACLE] P6 FOR EARNED VALUE VIDEO DEMONSTRATION

In the past, I have provided extensively detailed methodologies, schedule fragnets, & templates on how to develop and deploy Engineering deliverables in a Schedule.  Then launch this method in parallel to provide precision Earned Value Analysis.  However, in my opinion, the detailed explanation may not have made sense to a larger group of readers. 

So this is my attempt to provide Engineering deliverables in an Oil & Gas EPC Schedule Simply Explained is as follows:
  • During the selected Engineering Phase, a known set of deliverables were recognized as the scope of work.
  • Each EPC company has a set standard of deliverables along with their own rules of credit for achieving progress for those deliverables.
  • Upon contract Award, the deliverables are loaded in the schedule with sufficient activity detail granularity and logically tied in order to produce an accurate critical path.
  • Once loaded and validated by the project team; the hours typically provided by the estimating department can be resource loaded into the schedule by the planner/scheduler.
  • In our opinion the following settings provided an accurate functionality in P6:
    • Duration Type = Fixed Duration & Units [in both Projects View & Activity View]
    • % Complete Type = Physical [in both Projects View & Activity View]
    • Use of Steps is optional but typically not necessary.

Summary

EPC's will have different variations of how the schedule is used and how much criteria is loaded into the
​
schedule.  Some companies maximize the entire use of P6 producing earned value & financials, while

​other companies prefer not even resource loading.  Feel free to explore all options available.
