Delivering on the Vision of FIAPP

Delivering on the Vision of FIAPP Ric Jackson Director The FIATECH Consortium CII Annual Conference San Francisco, California August 8-9, 2001

“None of us is as smart as all of us.” FIATECH is… Owners, operators, contractors, suppliers working together to accelerate the realization of FIAPP Research, development, deployment Full time staff to manage projects aggressively “None of us is as smart as all of us.”

FIATECH will... Document industry needs and priorities Develop a common industry vision for FIAPP Develop roadmaps to achieve that vision Develop projects to follow the roadmaps Obtain leverage funding to accelerate progress And thereby…

…accelerate the realization of FIAPP for the industry

First FIATECH Projects Life Cycle Data Management eBusiness for Capital Facilities Capital Projects Technology Roadmap 3-D Laser Scanning Digital As-built Documentation Public/Private Technology Partnerships In Your Face Computing for Construction, Operation, and Maintenance Economic Impact of Imperfect Interoperability Restructuring the Project Delivery Process Smart Chips for Construction Materials and Equipment

Life Cycle Data Management Challenge Accelerate the development of an integrated plant asset information system Approach Define technology requirements, business drivers Validate with owners, operators, contractors, suppliers Document business case for LCDM Research, develop, deploy, prototype plant information repository using vendor-neutral, open software architecture

LCDM Project Task Forces Benefits Cases and Measures (What are the Opportunities worth and how do we prove it) Engineering Re-use (Value and Impact on Work Processes and Deliverables) Understanding Operations/ Maintenance Requirements (Value and Impact on Work Processes and Deliverables) Future Development Areas Information Map/EPC Deliverables (What Information is required? In what form?) Information Requirements Definition

eBusiness for Capital Facilities Challenge Optimize business processes and open information exchange for Capital Facilities stakeholders through application of Internet and information technologies Approach Deliver industry framework, guidelines, XML extensible mark-up language) specs for information sharing across eBusiness applications for EPCOM Initial work focus on transactions for configurable equipment

Ease of eCommerce Use Office Environment Purchases MRO Tools and Consumables Bulks and Commodities Catalog-specified Equip. & Materials Configurable & Engineered Equip. Trade Services and Contracts EPC/O&M Services and Contracts (Based on case studies from CII PT 172: Improving Construction Supply Chain Performance) EASY HARD

RoadMap for eBusiness Development and Deployment 3c. XML Gap Analysis 3b. Assessment of XML Initiatives 3a. FIAPP Requirements for XML 2. Analysis of Equipment EPCOM Processes EPCOM: Engineer, Procure, Construct, Operate, Maintain 1. Information Repository on Relevant Initiatives Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q5 Q6

Economic Impact of Imperfect Interoperability Challenge Convince public and private decision-makers of the importance of increased investment in integration and automation in the capital projects industry Approach Perform thorough economic analysis of imperfect interoperability of data exchange in capital projects “450,000 Data Exchanges Per Year” “as much as 50% of their time dealing with poor data files” Imperfect interoperability costs US automobile suppliers $1B/yr!

Public/Private Technology Partnerships Challenge Identify, commercialize, deploy existing capital projects-related technologies from govt. labs Approach Form teams to identify ripe techs, determine and implement effective path to commercialization Technologies Smart Chips Cybernetic Buildings Spatial Data Acquisition Construction Process Simulation Digital As-Builts

Digital-As-Built Documentation Challenge Accelerate deployment of tools to capture as-built conditions digitally and deliver data models for use during O&M Approach Develop user requirements for accurate, intelligent digital models interoperable with commercial CAD, GIS, CMMS, and CAFM systems Demonstrate with pilot projects

Future Plant Maintenance Mechanic … …its closer than you think!!

In Your Face Computing for Construction, Operation, and Maintenance Challenge Facilitate work practice and culture changeover from paper-based to electronic process by utilizing high resolution displays to access information in drawings, 3D models, and photographs for plant O&M Approach Define business value Report on state of technology Report on needs requirements to suppliers Identify commercially viable solutions Test prototypes in actual maintenance setting

Restructuring the Project Delivery Process Challenge Projects evermore complex, uncertain, and pressed for speed Need a project-based production system to maximize value and minimize waste in this setting. Approach Use lean production techniques to create new opportunities for integration and automation so as to avoid “computerizing the cow path.” Source: Lean Construction Institute

Capital Projects Technology Roadmap Challenge Create and maintain a technology roadmap for the capital projects industry to guide technology investment in RD&D Approach Develop functional model of asset creation, operation, maintenance Describe current technological SOA Develop a clear technological vision Develop a detailed technolgy roadmap Define technology goals and requirements Develop a database of current R&D projects Develop a ranked list of technology initiatives and projects Update roadmap and database annually
