In an EPCM environment, there are sometimes disconnect between L-3 project schedule referred by Project Controls and L-4 schedule followed by discipline engineering. This is often managed by manually mapping L-4 schedule progress mapped into L-3.  In a data driven environment, the tasks performed and progress recorded are automatically updated in the project management software making manual data preparation and reporting redundant. The initial investment in designing the project data network and information system, saves time and boosts productivity in the long run.

SoftAvenue Inc. offers services on the  digital workflow to interface between the L-3 and L-4 schedules, including individual team members task lists to produce an intuitive progress monitoring & updating system, cutting down delays and manual data presentation efforts.

Project Interface Management is a structured method of managing the flow of  data between two sub-units in accordance with the overall project execution process. The interface embeds a detailed process knowledge, risk assessment so as to be realistic. In an EPCM environment the interface between the different engineering disciplines and other functional disciplines are examples which need to work in a synchronous and harmonious manner.

SoftAvenue Inc has tools, templates and methodology to offer, to make the interface management work efficiently. We work with project and operating teams to discuss the options and work out a road map for implementing a data driven interface management.
