10. Burning questions Are we ahead or behind schedule? Are we over or under-spending? How far off course are we? Where are the bottlenecks? How to fix them? What is exact progress as of now? What is %age completion of this deliverable? Are we meeting ISO standards? How efficiently are we using resources? ■
11. Inadequate answers Because of: Manual updates (not real-time) Lack of integration (schedules / documents) Inadequate change management Communication deficit Inadequate ISO enforcement (rework) Lack of accountability ■
12. Our solution It records transactions as they occur. You get accurate indication of progress and problems encountered during execution. ■
13. We will set up… Web-based system On-site configuration & training Online project monitoring Automated data capture System-managed documents Real-time communication ■ Control
14. Package to payoff What is the progress? (cost/schedule performance index) Work package Deliverables What percentage is completed? Were they completed on schedule? Milestones Without WRENCH, you need about 2000 manual updates per week (assuming 500 deliverables per package) to assess progress
15. Package to payoff Assessing progress is easy, immediate, and 100% accurate! Work package Automatic updates – planned vs. actuals (of start/finish dates) captured directly by WRENCH. Deliverables Automatic updates: Actual finish date captured by WRENCH. Milestones With WRENCH. . .
16. But what is WRENCH? A transparent working environment: deliverables and estimated hours can be easily measured. A planning tool: teams get clear ‘To-Do’ list and defined target dates for each activity. A monitoring platform: resources track their own work (system updates individual progress) A boon for management: lead engineers and discipline heads get instant access to planned progress vs. actual progress and present status. An aid to problem-solving: managers can ‘drill down’ and pinpoint the exact bottleneck or problem causing delay. ■
20. You get: status S-Curve Budget at Completion Actual Costs Planned Value Earned Value
21. You get: the big picture: Current position Time Cost Ahead of Schedule Under Budget On Schedule Under Budget Behind Schedule Under Budget Ahead of Schedule On Budget On Schedule On Budget Behind Schedule On Budget Ahead of Schedule Over Budget On Schedule Over Budget Behind Schedule Over Budget
22. In short: 360° value Secure central storage Collaborative platform (offices, vendor, client, site etc.) File transfers via satellite servers (much faster than FTP) Correspondence management Change management (minutes of meetings, action plans) Multi-level security for optimum control/flexibility ■
23. Evaluation(Where did you plan to be?) Measurement(Where are you?) Correction(How to get back on track?) Summary On-time On-budget On-time On-budget
24. Benefits 100% efficient project control 100% quality assured 60% reduction in project management efforts 100% efficient document control/Management ■
