Service details

Dynamic planning services.

TE&A offers the services of dynamic planning, retrospective and prospective scheduling primarily utilising Primavera software, Microsoft Project and other software.

Our services cater for detailed schedules up to Level 5 (Project Co-ordination Schedules – PCS) in the face of uncertain estimates on activity durations; integrated planning, scheduling and resource allocation to Level 4 (Execution Schedules); and scheduling in unstructured or poorly formulated circumstances through Dynamic Scheduling.

Planning and progress monitoring for an engineering project

Planning methods

Traditional CPM with advanced techniques.

The work effectively adopts sound traditional Critical Path Methodology and advanced scheduling techniques such as:

01

Critical Path Methodology

Sound traditional Critical Path Methodology (CPM).

02

Monte Carlo Simulations

Monte Carlo Simulations.

03

“What if” Simulations

“What if” Simulations.

04

Time-cost trade-off

Time-cost trade-off and project crashing techniques.

05

Interactive scheduling

Man-machine interactive scheduling techniques.

06

Dynamic Scheduling

Scheduling in unstructured or poorly formulated circumstances (Dynamic Scheduling).

Progress monitoring

From recorded progress to a useful view of completion.

For the engineering and design of project progress monitoring processes, and for weekly and monthly status reports, factual networks and networks to completion, we account for:

01

Recorded activity progress

Recorded daily activity progress data and information.

02

Re-scheduled or re-estimated activities

Activities re-scheduled or re-estimated in the current report, with reasoning thereof.

03

Added or deleted activities

Activities added or deleted within the current report, with reasoning thereof.

04

Completed activities

Activities completed since the previous report.

05

Due but incomplete activities

Activities due for completion since the previous report, yet to be completed.

06

Anticipated delay and remedial action

Based on all of the above outcomes, we provide the reasoning and detail of anticipated delays or circumstances that may affect completion dates, liability assessment and remedial actions proposed by the Contractor.

Real-time delay management

Transparent analysis of schedule impact.

For transparency and real-time assessment of delays and the impact of potential additional changes to the schedule, we use Time Impact Analysis techniques. This is a transparent, proven retrospective forensic delay analysis approach that takes account of and is suitable for:

01

Relationships and Risk Events

Identifying the logical relationship between elements of the works (“activities”) and the possible Risk Events.

02

Delays and prolongations

Analysing the effects of numerous delays and prolongations, whether the responsibility of the Employer, the Engineer or the Contractor.

03

Concurrent and overlapping events

Recognising discrete events, concurrent events or overlapping (parallel) events.

04

Events before the Risk Event

Considering progress and events taking place prior to the Risk Event.

05

Cause and effect

Documenting and presenting the direct cause and effect of all events as they arise or as they may unfold.
