Integrated Planning Solutions
Corporate Solutions enabling clear lines of control and accountability within the planning process and organisation.
4 Decades of Planning Experience
We have developed and implemented Planning and Scheduling solutions all over the world for major players in the energy sector. Our speciality is the integration of plans from strategic objectives to execution of related tasks which will ultimately deliver those objectives safely and efficiently.
While we specialise in integration of plans for large organisations we are agile and flexible enough to help small business owners develop and analyse plans for their latest projects. This can be done on a remote basis through online meetings and plan reviews.
Benefits of Integrated Planning
Clear Objectives
Your strategic plan will flow from long term objectives to detailed execution plans with increasing accuracy and assurance as the plans mature.
You will review concise veiws of your plans which will encourage your functions to work as one team.
No more planning in silos.
Path to Delivery
Deliver your strategic plan by cascading corporate goals down through integrated functional plans with clear ownership and accountability for delivery of all key objectives.
Use planning conversations to empower your teams and optimise the skills and knowledge they bring to the table.
Stable Execution
Long term plans migrate to detailed plans and schedules through continuous quality checks on elements such as contracts, materials, resources, operational support and scope development.
Plan stability is delivered through continuous improvement of the process.
Integrated Planning Solutions
Integrated Planning offers a top-down approach to planning which can be adapted to utilise existing resources or enhanced by new systems and training.
Planning solutions can be developed to utilise existing resources in terms of systems and personnel. Integrated Planning is a process and not a plug and play system. Where you require a step change we can offer training in key planning systems like Microsoft Project or Primavera.
For large maintenance organisations we can assist in the alignment of task work orders and functional plans to meet agreed KPI's.
Prioritisation is key.
The strategic plan must address business objectives and set realistic timeframes for delivery to ensure key stakeholders are engaged. This requires a solid process for the prioritisation of emergent scope and strategic objectives. Elements to be considered in terms of risk and reward include production impact, environment, safety, compliance and reputation.
We can assist you in the development of sustainable processes which will not drain your resources.
