Integrated Enterprise Resource Management for proven
project performance

The complexity of major CAPEX projects and the various business processes
involved in their establishment requires the control and use of vast amounts of
resources and information.

While enterprise applications may be used to support individual processes such as

managing time, expenditure and risk, the inability to share and reuse information
between applications limits overall business efficiency, potentially leading to
delays, penalties and risk.
The main challenges faced in process plant projects today are:

Lack of integration between departments

Having to re-enter data into more than one system compromises
information reliability and quality, and significantly increases the total
time spent by teams entering and searching for information.

Inefficient material management and control

In general, 28% of the cost of a greenfield capital project relates to
material costs. This means that any wastage in material acquisition
significantly affects financial results and project outcomes.

Rework due to lack of control and visibility

Typically, 5% of the cost of a process plant project is spent on
engineering and 60–70% on materials. A typical CAPEX project has an
average of 25–35% of the total costs of a project to control or save on
direct and indirect labour. Any rework in the project execution phase will
impact one or more of these areas, and therefore have an impact on the
overall cost of the project.

Management KPI query repository

Most projects lack a single database with information from every phase
of the project, from which it is possible to extract all the managerial
KPIs for quick and effective decision making.
