Bechtel is an “Information Factory”

• Information is the lifeblood of our operation

• A significant influence on the success of our projects is dependent on how we handle, manage, and understand information and information Competency

• A change in how we “do” information is where a significant opportunity lies that will improve our performance and delivered quality

7 10/12/2011 Information Management

Introducing the Computer • Processing:

– People are very smart but are also slow

– Computers are very fast but are also dumb

• Applications are controlled environments where the “smarts” are embedded and operated by the speed of computers

– Productivity and quality improvement is gained

• In our business, the greater portion of our information lies outside an application

– This is where the opportunity lies

Information Competency • Do we know what Information Competency is?

– Information principles

– Best practices

– An understanding of how it directly correlates to

operating costs

• Information Competency is not a technology

thing

• Information Competency is a new discipline that

must be incorporated into the business

Information Competency Example:

• A valve identifier

– Must uniquely identify a valve

– When computer processing a traditional identifier,

ambiguity can contribute to information loss

- Can be interpreted by people

- Cannot be interpreted by people

Where we need to be

IM has a direct benefit to EPC execution

Full EPC IM greatly reduces level of effort for information handover and positions us for LCIM opportunity

IT Organization

Information Management

• An IM organization should be a horizontal organization under the functions with a prominent interface into the IT organization

– IM is business driven not technology driven

BIM – Cost optimization for lifecycle facility performance

• To develop the standard

• To build the reference data

• To develop and test prototypes

• To create production software

• Gain access to the experts

• Share the costs

• Leverage knowledge

• Common problem for all
