What is at stake.
Every month this factory is late, data centers wait longer for power equipment. The EPCM schedule tracked the building, but the test bays, coil winding and drying ovens had their own vendor schedules that nobody had integrated.
How we control it.
What our schedulers and cost engineers are doing on this project.
Vendors in one schedule
Process equipment vendors provide schedules in a set format, and we integrate them into one P6 master each month.
Test bays critical
High-voltage test bays are scheduled as the true critical path, since no unit ships until it is tested.
Risk analysis
Quarterly Monte Carlo runs show the owner its P50 and P80 dates for first shipment.
Executive dashboard
A Power BI dashboard gives leaders one page with schedule, cost and risk drawn from the same data.
Where it stands.
We know what a late transformer does to a data center schedule. This time we are on the side that builds them.
