WHY IS THIS RELEVANT?

Typical Oil & Gas Design Projects Work across many different disciplines: Sizing and weight control Structural design Stability analysis Hydrodynamic analysis Marine Engineering E.t.c. Requirement to maintain consistent design information Potential interactions with external parties: Model testing facilities Topside and process design Subcontracting consultants/SMEs Desire / need to find new & better solutions E.g.–UK oil & gas which is currently uneconomical to extract estimated at 3-4mill boe or £200billion. Is there a technological solution from a European SME?

Co-ordinated team work in Design Example of coordinating teamwork in an offshore design Focused on a novel solution (recently patented) Demonstrate how the TCP tool could assist team in development and integration of different systems/technologies Considerable similar use by a range of SME and others parties

TCP Case Study Question: Do we need something like the TCP? Where could we improve? Case Study Developed Atkins developed case study for TCP Pre Case Study Questionnaire Collate participants view on current approach Case Study Exercise Participants undertake case study Post Case Study Questionnaire Collate participants view on potential benefit of TCP Question: Would the TCP assist in co-ordinating work across the team?

CONCLUSIONS

Conclusions Survey responses suggest that the TCP tool has potential to improved working practices across small organisation. Results identified areas for potential development – Most clear would be the provision of documentation through the TCP to explain/detail network functions. The TCP could provide SME (and others!) with a glass box – where the working is open and apparent – but this is dependent on sufficient documentation to enhance understanding and allow SMEs to develop/improve their engineering process to improve the European maritime sectors competiveness.
