This document discusses Advanced Work Packaging Information Mapping (AIM), a project aimed at developing methods and tools to enable effective Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) in capital projects. The document outlines the AIM project deliverables which include information workflows for AWP, example work packages, approaches for bill of materials consolidation and validation, relevant software tools and data standards, contractual recommendations, and an implementation guide. It also discusses the potential benefits of AWP including up to 25% increased productivity and 4-10% reduction in total installed costs. Finally, the document promotes the use of use case methodology to further the goals of the Integrated Materials Management Community of Interest.

5. IWP an Example of AWP Motivation
• Construction Industry Institute (CII) studies* have shown that 25% to 40% of the construction
installed costs is from direct labor and IWP promises the benefit of up to 25% improvement in field
productivity, and a 4-10% reduction in total installed project costs.

35. Use-Case Concept Map
A use case is all the ways of using a
system to achieve a particular goal for
a particular user.
To make the value easy to quantify,
identify and deliver you need to
structure the use-case narrative.
A use-case slice is one or more stories
selected from a use case to form a
work item that is of clear value to
stakeholders.

Editor's Notes
As adoption of work packaging grows across the industry, and as the practices and principles around the topic continue to mature, we’re seeing a convergence of information, materials, documentation, plans, schedule, etc. as well as an increasingly significant amount of anecdotal information coming forward from other companies that are using these tools. The result is a coalescing of a body of knowledge as well as a de facto collection of best practices, tools, templates, etc.
In order to be successful at this we need to have some standardization of procedures, information exchange formats, and protocols. One of the advantages we get from FIATECH is access to a body of domain expertise and access to a group that is interested in defining these best practices and publishing recommendations, best practices, and guidelines. Today that effort is through an active FIATECH project called Advanced Work Packaging Information Management, or AIM for short.
AIM is continuation of the great work done by CII’s RT-272
They stated that one of the primary barriers to implementation of work packaging in the industry is information management and standardization of workflows and processes.
The presentation so far has focused on “refined to best practice” addressing how Advanced Workface Planning is implemented.
In line with CII’s findings, we think that the ability to visualize project data with numerous disparate systems and data point is crucial and will provide significant benefits toward the predictability of our project execution.
We also believe that as the tools improve they innately improve our ability to support the internal initiatives of engineering for construction safety.
We anticipate a 10% growth in productivity; however, while this is noticeably less than the 25% figure put forward by the RT-272 study, this is largely due to the fact that Zachry has been doing workface planning in some shape or form for quite some time.
Based upon what we have seen with the case study project, and as the AIM project continues to push forward with their mandate, we will continue to pull those artifacts into our SOP and the innate byproduct of doing so is improved project execution, improved vendor engagement, and ultimately, reductions in schedule.
What I consider the most significant expected benefit is in regards to Total Installed Cost. As productivity increases, vendor performance improves, and schedule pressures are reduced we anticipate a notable reduction of TIC in the neighborhood of 5-7% .
