The challenge

What is at stake.

Transformer production needs heavy cranes, vapor-phase drying ovens, test bays and clean winding rooms, much of it imported equipment with long lead times. Customers have reserved production slots against the first unit date. The owner needs to know, every month, whether that date still holds.

Our approach

How we control it.

What our schedulers and cost engineers are doing on this project.

01

Integrated master schedule

Building, process equipment, test bay and workforce ramp sit in one P6 IMS tied to the first unit milestone.

02

Import tracking

Imported equipment is tracked from factory acceptance to shipping to set, with logic to each production area.

03

Monte Carlo monthly

Risk analysis reports P50 and P80 first unit dates so commercial teams can sell slots they can deliver.

04

Cost and EVM

Monthly earned value and EAC reporting give the board a cost forecast it can rely on.

Sales was booking customers against our first unit date. That date had to come with a confidence level.
