Procedures

Lecture No. 1
Introduction to Project
Delivery Procedures
* Contents

*Project delivery processes:


*Project conception; Project inception;
* Project implementation: appreciation
of processes including feasibility
studies, tendering, contract execution,
other project activities;
* Contents

*Testing and Commissioning: General


commissioning procedures, reference
to specific subjects, personnel
involved, standards to conform,
contractual issues, responsibilities,
handover procedures, general
commissioning procedures
* Standard professional
documents and codes:

*Need of standard professional


documents and codes of practice,
codes of practice in use (emphasis to
be made per discipline), conformity
to professional documents and codes.
* Project procurement aspects:

*Financing of projects: Self


financing, financing by public
funds; grant and credit
financing facilities (World
Bank, ADB, etc.),.
*Project Procurement
Aspects
*Public Procurement Act
Requirements: procurements of
consultancies, procurement of
works, procurement of goods.
Appreciation of tendering
procedures, tender document
preparation, bid securities
* Legal aspects of engineering
processes:
*Contract management:
Introduction to law of contract,
Parties to the contract, standard
conditions of contract,
appreciation of contract
management issues, fraud and
corruption, conflict resolution
(including conflict of interest).
* What Is a Project?
*A project is a temporary endeavor
undertaken to accomplish a unique
purpose
*Attributes of projects
*unique purpose
*temporary
*require resources, often from various areas
*should have a primary sponsor and/or
customer
*involve uncertainty
* Sample Projects
*Construction of a hydro-power plant;
*Construction of a road between two
towns;
*Development of a computer software
for design of tall structures
*Undertaking a degree programme at
the UDSM;
*Preparing a Masters Degree
Dissertation; etc.
* The Triple Constraint
*Every project is constrained in different
ways by its
*Scope goals
*Time goals
*Cost goals
*Quality goals
*It is the project manager’s duty to
balance these three often competing
goals.
* Figure 1-1. The Triple
Constraint of Project
Management
* What is Project
Management?
Project management is “the application
of knowledge, skills, tools, and
techniques to project activities in order
to meet or exceed stakeholder needs
and expectations from a project” (PMI*,
Project Management Body of
Knowledge (PMBOK Guide), 2012)
*The Project Management Institute (PMI) is an international
professional society. Their web site is www.pmi.org. Over
348,000 copies of the PMBOK Guide, now ANSI approved.

* Engineering Project
Management

*It is the processes involved in ensuring


that an engineering project delivery
process meets its intended objectives
through the application of knowledge,
skills, tools and techniques
*Engineering Project
Management Procedures
*This covers the range of alternative
procedures for delivery of engineering
projects from inception to commissioning;
*Although there are no standards guiding this
process, there are professionally accepted
methods defining activities, roles and
responsibilities and tools;
*They tend to be common in engineering
disciplines and are guided by similar if not
the same standard documents;
* Typical Stages of Engineering
Projects
*Conception – realize that there is a
problem that requires an engineering
solution;
*Can the problem be solved?
*Is the solution economically viable?
(technical and economic viability)
*Preliminary design – explore a range
of feasible technical solutions to arrive
at one general solution with key
design parameters; includes also a full
economic appraisal;
*Design or definition – produce
production information for the
engineering product; this includes
tender documents;
*Tendering – selecting a contractor who
would deliver the intended product;
*Implementation – actual delivery of the
intended product;
*Commissioning – checking whether the
product meets performance
requirements;
*Use and maintenance for the product
*Key actors in the project
processes
*Client: A person who defines what is
required and generally pays for it;
*Consultant: A professional who
translates the Clients requirements into
product delivery information – design
and drawings, tender documents;
*Contractor – A person who translates
the delivery information into the actual
product.
* Typical Relationships
