Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi Planners,

Regarding to the above mentioned, is it anybody outside there can advise on this part?

What basis normally they use? Are we going to segregate by type of docs such like specification, datasheet & drawings?

If we talking about EPCIC project, how many percentage will be allocated for Engineering?

Thanks in advance for kind helping hand

Dear izam,

Adding a small remark to Safak.

The essence behind the KPIs is to reduce the cost and increase the customer satisfaction. So, when you ask your team to select the KPIs for Engineering, you can the dates for reviewing the submittals (Material and Shop drawings) and the number of manhours spent on reviewing them.

Best,

Samer

Dear Izam,

You can make a survey among your management&supervising staff, about the importance of the document types in each discipline (I assume you already have a document register).
The you can create a document matrix which you can forecast a important factor of a document type in each discipline. Then you can use this factors as reference and use them as resources. Then the remaining way is easy. You can plan the submittal dates of documents or directly engineering could give it to you. If you have no other programme that you can connect the engineering items with construction, then you can return to your supervisors that asking about ETA required dates(will be your late dates). After you update the register you can easily have the earned % and progress weekly or monthly.

You can find other performance indicators in that site:

the basis for tracking engineering progress is your DDR (design documents register).
The DDR lists all engineering deliverables, weighted based on manhours estimates and organised as per your WBS.
Each deliverable is then typically asigned a set % physical progress at pre-defined stage-gates (eg Document started, Issued for comment, issued for approval, etc)
There is no standard percentage of total project value -some projects will have high engineering and low construction costs, and visa versa. Presumably when you submited your tender, engineering costs were given as a lump sum?
