(Lloyd Rankin for Jeph Virtue)
• The Middle Days (Al Wahlstrom)
• COAA Support (Larry Staples)
• The CII Connection (Bill O’ Brien)
• Now and into the Future (Yogesh Srivastava)
Agenda
MANDATE:
Improve how projects were planned and executed to improve
labor productivity and project predictability
The Early Days: 2003 to 2008
FOCUS:
Removing obstacles for the
Construction Contractors and
developing a model focused on
when the contractor gets to site.
The Early Days: 2003 to 2008
LITERATURE REVIEW:
Reviewed the work of Project
Management Institute (PMI), CII,
and the Lean Construction
Institute
The Early Days: 2003 to 2008
STUDY
METHODOLOGY:
Met with industry experts
from Owners,
Construction and
Engineering Contractors,
and Suppliers over a period
of 2 years
The Early Days: 2003 to 2008
Issued draft WFP
model in 2006
The Early Days: 2003 to 2008
WFP website and training
first available 2007-’08
The Early Days: 2003 to 2008
The Middle Times
• Introduction • 2008 – ‘09 Downturn
• COAA CII
Four themes:
Safety Workforce Development Construction Performance Contracts
+ Supply / Demand Projection + Advocacy
COAA Best Practices
Rework Reduction
WorkFace Planning
Bench marking
Supervisory Skills
Construction Performance
• Benchmarking - Alberta Report I with CII
• Benchmarking - Alberta Report II with CII + UofC
• Project Rework Reduction Tool • WorkFace Planning • Advanced Work Packaging with CII
• Project Productivity • Modularization Strategy with ASM
• Aligning Engineering and Construction with CII
Board Advocacy
• Industry Leaders Roundtable – September 2013 • Productivity Opportunities and Challenges
in Alberta – May 2012 • Workforce Challenges in Alberta – May 2011

So what’s really new? • We KNOW Front End Planning helps projects – Statistics, logic, case examples
• We also have lots of evidence of poor FEP – Too early, not detailed enough, no continuity, not beginning
with the end in mind
(see next slide)
So what’s really new? • AWP is the disciplined extension of FEP processes
connecting the across the project lifecycle – People, processes, tools
– Promotes WFP success

Tools, techniques, and methods developed in one field frequently have applications in others… Failure to exploit the tools, techniques, methods and knowledge developed in disciplines other than one’s own retards scientific progress. — L. Ackoff Russel, Scientific Method, p. 441 (John Wiley &
Sons, Inc., N.Y., 1965).
COAA-CII: July 2013 The Team Delivered…
Research Summary IR Vol 1 – Advanced Work Packaging – Design through Workface Execution
− Phase I - slimmed down and minor revisions – focus on process and definitions IR Vol 2 – Case Studies (phase I) IR Vol 3 – Implementation guidance
− Implementation Overview − Contractual Strategy − Implementation Processes Processes and functional descriptions − Templates EWP, CWP, IWP (moved from previous) − Example Small pumping station − Assessment − Glossary
Research Reports (phases 1 & 2)
Future of WorkFace Planning
Owner driven Field focussed Construction domain Starts in
Construction Planner driven Limited E & P
involvement
AWP leads to better WFP Owner, E, P and C / Increased
involvement Field and Module Yard - both Bring it in front line of Project
Execution domain Starts in Preliminary Design Greater Functional and Discipline
involvement AWP – Significant EP involvement Academic and Research aspects Technology matters for AWP/ WFP
Current Implementation Future of WorkFace Planning
The WFP Committee - Future Works
Get Involved – Steering Committee or regular Membership New Charter in 2013-14 New COAA website and new WFP Library New methods for connecting as larger group Phase 2 of CII-COAA joint research team More works on Functional and Discipline WFP in Modularization Technology systems supporting WorkFace Planning New event – WorkFace Planning Conference in Sept 2013
2012/14 Focus Areas
1. Expand the reach of AWP/WFP to Engineering & Procurement domain
2. Increased awareness of AWP and WFP in Contracts 3. Increase participation in WFP Committee and
membership 4. Overhaul of WFP Committee content and
communications 5. Enhance the Academic involvement with Committee
works 6. Bring technology tools to forefront that support WFP
VISIONARY ATTENDEES
