Abstract

Provided are a management method, system and program for detailed engineering of a plant project. The management method includes: determining a start date for a process of a project; preparing an engineering maturity assessment data including index data; determining a key milestone schedule; calculating a first engineering maturity assessment score at a contract time; comparing the first engineering maturity assessment score with a reference value, calculating a second engineering maturity assessment score at a key milestone time; comparing the second engineering maturity assessment score with a second reference value; calculating a third engineering maturity assessment score at the start date; and comparing the third engineering maturity assessment score with a third reference value, wherein the process is performed according to the start date for the project process if the third engineering maturity assessment score is less than the third reference value.

First claim

1 . A management method for detailed engineering of a plant project in a method of managing a project in a system for managing a schedule of the plant project using index data required for measurement of completion rating of a plant after a contract time of the plant project, the management method comprising:
determining a start date for a process of the project; preparing an engineering maturity assessment data including the index data; determining a key milestone schedule including a key milestone time; calculating a first engineering maturity assessment score at the contract time; comparing the first engineering maturity assessment score with a first reference value, calculating a second engineering maturity assessment score at the key milestone time; comparing the second engineering maturity assessment score with a second reference value; calculating a third engineering maturity assessment score at the start date; and comparing the third engineering maturity assessment score with a third reference value, wherein the process is performed according to the start date for the process of the project if the third engineering maturity assessment score is less than the third reference value.

2 . The management method of claim 1 , wherein the key milestone time comprises a first key milestone time six months after the contract time, a second key milestone time nine months after the contract time, and a third key milestone time 12 months after the contract time.

3 . The management method of claim 2 , wherein
the calculating of the second engineering maturity assessment score at the key milestone time and the comparing of the second engineering maturity assessment score with the second reference value comprise: calculating a fourth engineering maturity assessment score at the first key milestone time; comparing the fourth engineering maturity assessment score with a fourth reference value; calculating a fifth engineering maturity assessment score at the second key milestone time; comparing the fifth engineering maturity assessment score with a fifth reference value; calculating a sixth engineering maturity assessment score at the third key milestone time; and comparing the sixth engineering maturity assessment score with a sixth reference value.

4 . The management method of claim 3 , wherein
the first reference value is 810, the fourth reference value is 660, the fifth reference value is 500, and the sixth reference value is 380.

5 . The management method of claim 3 , further comprising:
increasing a design man-hour after at least one of the steps of comparing the first engineering maturity assessment score with the first reference value, comparing the second engineering maturity assessment score with the second reference value, comparing the third engineering maturity assessment score with the third reference value, comparing the fourth engineering maturity assessment score with the fourth reference value, comparing the fifth engineering maturity assessment score with the fifth reference value, and comparing the sixth engineering maturity assessment score with the sixth reference value.

6 . The management method of claim 1 , wherein
the first, second and third reference values are calculated based on data including a basis of detail design section, an engineering deliverables section, and an execution approach section.

7 . The management method of claim 6 , wherein
the basis of detail design section comprises a category of a project scope, a project performance requirement, and a design guideline.

8 . The management method of claim 6 , wherein
the engineering deliverables section comprises process/mechanical/piping, equipment vendor, structural and architectural, instrument and electrical, material take-off, 3D modeling, and general facility requirement category.

9 . The management method of claim 6 , wherein
the execution approach section comprises an engineering project management and project execution plan category.

10 . The management method of claim 7 , wherein
the category comprises each of a plurality of index elements reflecting characteristics of the category, the plurality of index elements are divided into a plurality of stages different in level, and each level may be given a weight according to the plurality of index elements.

11 . The management method of claim 10 , wherein
the weight is normalized such that an assessment score for all of the plurality of index elements is a maximum of 1,000.

12 . The management method of claim 11 , wherein
the third reference value is 300 points.

13 . The management method of claim 1 , further comprising:
increasing design man-hour such as increasing manpower input time.

14 . A management system for detailed engineering of a plant project in a system for managing a schedule of the plant project, the management system comprising:
a data management module configured to manage index data for assessing engineering maturity for the plant project; an assessment module configured to assess engineering maturity of the plant project based on the index data and managing configured to manage a corresponding result; and a schedule management module configured to change or manage a start date for a project process according to the corresponding result, wherein the index data includes a plurality of index elements, each index element is divided into a plurality of stages different in level, and each level is given a weight according to the plurality of index elements.

15 . A management program for detailed engineering of a plant project, in a system for managing a schedule of the plant project, stored in a medium to execute:
determining a start date for a process of a project for the plant project; preparing an engineering maturity assessment data including index data; determining a key milestone schedule including a key milestone time; calculating a first engineering maturity assessment score at a contract time; comparing the first engineering maturity assessment score with a first reference value, calculating a second engineering maturity assessment score at the key milestone time; comparing the second engineering maturity assessment score with a second reference value; calculating a third engineering maturity assessment score at the start date; and comparing the third engineering maturity assessment score with a third reference value, wherein the process is performed according to the start date for the process of the project if the third engineering maturity assessment score is less than the third reference value.

16 . The management method of claim 8 , wherein
the category comprises each of a plurality of index elements reflecting characteristics of the category, the plurality of index elements are divided into a plurality of stages different in level, and each level may be given a weight according to the plurality of index elements.

17 . The management method of claim 9 , wherein
the category comprises each of a plurality of index elements reflecting characteristics of the category, the plurality of index elements are divided into a plurality of stages different in level, and each level may be given a weight according to the plurality of index elements.

18 . The management method of claim 16 , wherein
the weight is normalized such that an assessment score for all of the plurality of index elements is a maximum of 1,000.

19 . The management method of claim 17 , wherein
