3. Mission

Target: Reduce Time for Development and
Installation about 30%

Cut Project Costs by 25%

Clear Structure and better forecasting for
Investors (Phase II and CM)

4. Situation

Projets take 12....19 Month for Phases I and II

Deviation in Cost plan/FC is significant
→ Investors are reluctant to invest financial
ressources
→ Project members have few control on scedule and
therefore poor planning
→ this increases Costs !!
→ this delays Projects !!

Status of A- and D-application is poor

Control of planning and production factors is
insufficient

Prognosis fail in 78 % of all projects (10% or
more deviation)

Costs/Planning poor and not applicable

Project management fails

Feedback Loop inconsistent
