HI Guys,

NEED SOME HELP in developing a PLANNING & PROJECT CONTROL MANUAL. Existing manual with the company is old now and need to refine to suit the competing demands with availability of new softwares and project management standards.

I made d framework, covering following points

1. Introduction Covering roles and responsibilities and KPI’S

2. WBS development, dictionary, integration with orgz structure, responsibility assignment matrix integrated with WBS

3. Schedule Management Plan: How to develop a Schedule in P3/P5/P6. What r d things to be considered while submitting and approving the schedule. More or less a SCHEDULE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.

4. Cost Management Plan: Cost Management System, Cost Funding, Cost Estimating and Approval of Monthly bills against cost loaded in program

5. Performance Measurement Baselines: Integrated Performance Measurement Baselines with respect to cost and schedule. Development of S-Curves and monitoring & Controlling aspects. To include weightage factors etc.

6. Work Authorization System:

7. Progress Status: Daily/Weekly and Monthly Report Curves including collection of project data and interface with PM and CM.

8. Variance Management & Project Reports

9. Integrated Change Control System

If I had missed out any of the points or if somebody wud like to elaborate the points mentioned above, it wud b highly appreciated.

I shall be obliged, if somebody can share their manual with me, for making systems herein more stronger.

Waiting for reply

Cheers,

Raviraj

    Raviraj,

    I am interested to know if your manual is a supplementary to your company’s Quality Management Procedure or a standalone document? Also, is it for construction purposes only or does it covers the tender preparation and commissioning stages...

    I suggest You may a glossary of terms as appendix to your manual...

    Please give me a copy once you have already something to share...


    Regards,

    We have been in the process of trying to develop same thing for about 3 years now, and have made limited progress. I will give you some detailed feedback if you give me a little more time. It was very easy to develop the outline part, but when we do the detailed descriptions it became time consuming and slowed us way down.

    The biggest issue is that nobody wants to use it anyway, except the bosses want it because I suggested it.

    R,

    A manual infers you will are writing a specific how to?

    Are you sure it is not a company guide you should be writing that outlines the requirements of the programme and control procedures.

    i.e.

    Topics covered are:
    • Establishing a Work Breakdown Structure
    • Production of the Programme
    • Approval of the Contract Programme
    • Sub Programmes
    • Programme monitoring
    • Updating the Programme
    • Cause and Effect.
    • Project Reporting

    Details under these headings would include non-project specific guidance such as;

    *WBS should be created in conjunction with PM/BidM.
    *every activity should have a predecessor & successor.
    *performance must be mesured in physical % complete.
    *Reports must be presented in company format.

    Thanks Oliver,

    For d last four points suggested, i think that shud b a part of SCHEDULE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, that wud typically focus on what to check in the schedule while submitting; INTERFACES between planning & other departments and the standard reporting formats.

    For the remaining points, yes, thats a good suggestion and I will try to incorporate.

    Does ur company hav anything as such? If yes, plz mail me.

    Cheers,

    Ravi

    Hi Raviraj,

    Item 1 to 8 are the detailed part of the Item 9-Integrated Change Control System which is other call it the Cost & Schedule Control.

    I would suggest to have a separate chapter on how to develop, implement and track RFI’s, NCR’s, drawings & material submittals, etc., and another chapter for Project Closeout.

    Cheers,

    Thanks Catalan for the reply,

    I do believe, cost and schedule control will be a part of performance measurement baselines control which I proposed in chapter 7 & 8.

    RFI’s, NCR’s and submittals can be a part of Integrated Change control system (Chapter 9)

    Thanks for the suggestion

    Cheers,

    Raviraj

    Hi pals,

    The manual is still under preparatory stage.

    What we were asking from last so many days is some guidelines from Mr. Abhijit Kale, which he never turned up.

    So, u may send PM to Abhijit kale for help rather than reading these posts?
