What was at stake.
Customer qualification of the first lines was tied to supply agreements. The building needed controlled environments, heavy power and process cooling, and equipment arrived from several countries. The contractor schedule ended at the certificate of occupancy.
How we controlled it.
What our schedulers and cost engineers did on this project.
Past occupancy
We extended the schedule through equipment install, line qualification and customer audits, where the real finish was.
Imported equipment
Equipment shipments were tracked by vessel and customs status, with float to the line they served.
Earned value
A cost-loaded schedule tracked SPI and CPI monthly, giving leadership early warning on cost.
Change control
Layout changes from the process team were priced and scheduled before approval.
The result.
An occupancy certificate does not ship a single chip. The schedule had to run all the way to qualification.
