Abstract
- Radical reduction in project cycle time requires four key drivers: 1) Compelling business need, 2) Owner commitment, 3) High-performance team, and 4) Detailed project planning.
- In conjunction to CII Best Practices, schedule reduction and management techniques from other industries are required to achieve radical reduction.
- Use of CII Best Practices is a key component in the “Best of the Best” (top 5) radical reduction techniques. Over the five project phases, the following five have been identified as the important CII Best Practices: 1) Alignment, 2) Constructability, 3) Design Effectiveness, 4) Materials Management, and 5) Pre-Project Planning.
- The Game Planner can assist companies to develop an approach to radically reduce project cycle time.
Key Findings
How to develop a game plan:
- The first step in developing a game plan is to identify your project phase (pre-project planning, design, materials management, construction, or startup). Then, choose the radical reduction techniques (RRTs) from the lists included in this IR that can be applied.
- Next, determine the relative impact of your chosen RRTs, based off of the information provided in pages 8 and 9 of this IR for your particular phase.
- Once the highest impact techniques have been identified using this chart, transfer this information to your playcard for a game card.
