Pre-Workshop Questionnaire
• Topic Areas:
• Data - Data Support for AWP
• Process - Engineering Sequencing to Support Construction & Operations
• Process - Organizing Engineering Work Using AWP Principles to Benefit Engineering Directly
• Contract - Contract Requirements & Barriers
• Culture - Culture Perception & Barriers

• Questions:
• What are the greatest current challenges that you have experienced in these areas (select all that apply to you) when deploying
AWP in Engineering?
• What examples of Benefit directly to Engineering have you seen from the implementation of AWP?
• What are the greatest future challenges that you expect to encounter in these areas (select all that apply to you) as AWP adoption
in Engineering expands into the rest of the market?

Who should receive the survey? Select group? JWG? CBA?

• Send to AWP CBA, Modularization, Supply Chain

Develop framing / explanation for questionnaire

NEXT STEPS

10
Data – Data Support for AWP
Key Focuses:
- Model Maturity & Assessments
- Additional non-graphical data sources
- Vendor Data
- Data Standards
- Connection to Contract Language
- Data Formats
- Data Requirements

11
Process - Supporting Construction - Engineering Sequencing to Support Construction & Operations

Key Focuses:
- Path of Engineering
- Path of Construction
- Procurement Cycle
- EWP Development & Alignment
- EWP Status & Progress
- Constraint Management to Support Construction
- Rules of Credit for Engineering Requirements (Coordinate with contracts)
- KPIs and Metrics
- True Impact (Change & Cost) to Engineering
-

12
Process - Benefiting Engineering Directly - Organizing Engineering Work
using AWP principles
Key Focuses:
- Support for Agile Planning & Execution
- Vendor Work Package Development & Management
- Automation
- Engineering Constraint Management to Support Engineering
- Interface with Procurement
- Vendor Data Management
- Design Work Planning and Tracking
- Procurement Work Planning and Tracking
- Link to Data Requirements for Vendor Data Requirements
- KPIs and Metrics
- Target Value Delivery (Lean)
- Fundamental Scope Blocks (changing how we chunk the work)
- Value to Engineering
13
Contract - Contract Requirements & Barriers
Key Focuses:
- Contract Language for Supporting Different Levels of AWP Maturity in
Engineering
- KPIs for Engineering
- Rules of Credit for Engineering Payment
- Alignment to LOD (level of development)
- Differences resulting from different contracting strategies (Lump Sum, T&M,
IPD, etc)
- Engineering Sign-Off Requirements (wet signature, etc)
- Paper-based processes that are inherently document-centric

14
Culture - Culture Perception & Barriers
Key Focuses:
- Perception of AWP as a Construction Methodology not Project Methodology
- Perception that AWP is an added cost to Engineering
- Perception that AWP looks to radically disrupt the Engineering work execution process
- Tribal warfare around including non-engineering stakeholders into the engineering process
- Embedded paradigms (John Strickland presentation)
- Increase in relative importance of non-engineering organizations earlier in the project (Podcast:
https://www.naocon.org/get-the-knack/)
- Lack of Trust leading to duplicative 3rd party checking
- Engineering Discipline Leads lack of knowledge & benefits of AWP and how its going to help them.
