1. Advancing Process Modular Solutions for High Tech Industries
By Adam Tarr
Executive Summary for PPMOF programs.
(Pre-fabrication Pre-Assembly Modularization Off site Fabrication)
As high technology manufacturers increase their focus on cost, speed, and safety as key components of
capital equipment installations, few solutions have existed to address the need to reduce installation cost
without sacrificing quality, safety and serviceability.
NEHP and family CPSG companies are addressing these challenges through smarter manufacturing
solutions and modular products by elegantly and efficiently bringing process utilities to capital equipment.
NEHP and the CPSG companies are advancing these newer technology tools that drive smarter and leaner
processes in order to maximize reduction cost and customer satisfaction.
NEHP and the CPSG companies have been an industry leader for program reductions in cost, schedules,
safety, and several other critical project improvements. This is accomplished through new advanced
PPMOF programs, like NEHP’s “VMF” (Virtual Manufacturing Facilities), and “IMAF” (Integrated Modular
Assembly Facilities) Facilities. NEHP was the first company to introduce modularized enhanced process
utility solutions to the high tech and semi-conductor industries and was awarded two advanced industry
patents.
Moving into the next millennium for construction programs, customers, owners and facilities will be
highly automated using the newest cost best technologies, to drive cost lean projects. Substantial design
innovation will result in facilities and equipment that are more flexible;
Bricks and mortar replaced with modular and moveable walls, disposable and portable
equipment, “plug and play” utilities and single use equipment. Ratio of direct labor to
indirect labor changes – more skilled technicians required, less trades and construction
personnel on customer project sites. “Development to Manufacturing” processes get
fixed. Industry gets standardization in the right areas. New products are developed on
common platform ordering systems, less customizations. Use of outsourcing becomes
strategic. Large volume, low complexity products will be made in low cost, lean
innovative manufacturing facilities, however, western world will see increased
investment in VMF programs similar to our VMF / IMAF project benefits.
New product launch forecasting, along with pace of yield improvements will continue to result in capacity
planning issues to keep companies competitive moving forward.

2. NEHP / CPSG is pleased to annouce we are in the forefront of implementing a wide variety of successful
modular products, custom project desgins, and the integrated behavior changes that are key, in
supporting advanced processes, to decrease field installation times. Our services and products cover a
gamut of high - tech solutions, knowhows, procedures, lessons learned and identifies multiple solutions
and products to minimize many unproductive activties for a variety of facility requirements. In general,
using smart technology, such as VMF, IMAF’s, lean manufacturing processes, experienced people,
resources, and several other key items. These methods and products allow for integrated, advanced
modular solutions that will provides fast, low cost alternative to field conventional methods and
fabrication.
Advanced PPMOF programs reduces both on-site labor and manufacturing labor costs. NEHP /CPSG team
performances are supported by using cutting-edge modeling software to control and limit manufacturing
rework within each product or program. Manufacturing utilty process modules away from project sites
has a comprehenisve list of critical project reductions. Here are few of those areas that PPMOF programs
improve on..
 Substantially reduces on site labor activities by 30%.
 Orbital and high purity welds removed from typical projects methods.
 Proven Cost reductions by 18% to 33% from past projects.
 Increases jobsite safety.
 Material management efficiencies – LL planning.
 Compresses construction time by reducing the number of construction activities.
 Improves quality and provides standardization.
 Cost Control - expandable and flexible designs - built into module.
 Reduces footprint requirements by stacking & dense packing utilities and personnel.
 Overcomes skill shortages and training at jobsite.
 Site Infrastructure requirements are reduced due to less manpower required on site: parking
places, site office and storage trailers and containers, site safety supervision.
 Reduction in exposure to work related Life and Safety incidents.
 Reduction in construction contamination in the sub-fab and associated cleaning man-hours
and cost.
 Many other ancillary and indirect savings from unrecognized costs associated with modular
verses field construction.
CPSG is one of the most integrated companies innovating and adapting to the needs of the
advanced technology space. By integrating our full line of our successful innovative engineered
products, services and turnkey installs, will achieve the cost reduction for the full or modified
“IPD” (Integrated Program Approach) approach. It will also help by minimizing or providing
options to several areas of project activity expenses, such as CM, AE, Engineering, logistics, and
many ancillary costs that drive project overruns. Minimizing conventional stick built activities, by
using catalog ordering process will save time and money. One of CPS’s core vision is to remove
conventional methods to virtual BIM (Building Informational Modeling) product construction,
but still apply highest quality and productivity in all project deliverables.
