Introduction: In the life cycle of an engineering project construction, each stage has a certain pattern, the following I introduce you to the project management company pmc process article, welcome to read reference!

project management company pmc process

With China's accession to the WTO, China's construction field has also gradually introduced foreign advanced project management model that is the PMC model, which has been gradually promoted in the petrochemical field. It refers to the construction unit to hire a unit (generally have considerable strength of the engineering company or consulting firm) on behalf of its management of the entire project construction process, this unit in the project construction is called "Project Management Contractor (Project Management Contractor, referred to as PMC)". ". This project management model in the implementation process, the construction unit only needs a small part of the management force to make decisions on some key issues, and most of the project management work are undertaken by the PMC.

A PMC model

According to international practice, the PMC model is generally divided into three categories: the first is to manage the project on behalf of the construction unit, while also undertaking part of the project design/procurement/construction (i.e., the EPC model) work, this mode of PMC risk is higher, but the corresponding profit, Returns are also higher; the second category is as an extension of the construction unit's management power, management of EPC contractors without undertaking any EPC work, which is China's current engineering and construction in the field of commonly used models, but also this paper focuses on the part of this PMC model corresponding risk and return are lower than the last category; the third category is as a consultant to the construction unit, the project supervision, inspection, and at the same time will be incomplete work timely report to the construction unit. This PMC model has the lowest risk, but also low return.

According to the international popularity of the project phase division, the project can be divided into pre-stage (i.e., the definition stage, refers to the stage before the start of the detailed design) and the implementation stage (also known as the EPC stage, i.e., the design/procurement/construction stage).

The pre-project phase includes all engineering activities before the start of the detailed design, the workload of this phase accounts for only 20% to 25% of the total engineering design workload, but the impact of this phase on the entire project investment is as high as 70% to 90%, so this phase has a great significance for the entire project. In the pre-project stage, PMC is mainly responsible for the following tasks: optimization of the project construction unit selection; optimization of project risk management, dispersion or reduction of project risks; review of process documents provided by the patentee, the project to follow the unified standards, specifications, responsible for organizing or completing the basic design, preliminary design and overall design; put forward the project implementation plan to complete the project investment estimation; preparation of the EPC bidding

In the project implementation phase, the successful general contractor is responsible for the implementation of the design, procurement and construction work. PMC in this phase, on behalf of the construction unit is responsible for the management of the project coordination and supervision role until the completion of the project. Mainly responsible for the following work: design management, procurement management, construction management, investment management, contract management, the organization of the project acceptance, transfer to the owner of all the project information.

Second, the advantages of PMC management

Through the project design optimization, to achieve the lowest cost of the project life cycle. PMC will be based on the actual situation of the project location, the use of their own technical superiority, the entire project for the overall technical and economic analysis, comparison, in order to functionally perfect, technologically advanced, economically rational as the goal of the whole design optimization. The whole design is optimized.

After the completion of the basic design, the selection of appropriate contract mode for bidding. First of all, according to the need to decompose the project into a number of modules, module subcontracting should be guided by the following principles: divided by the geographical area (the arrangement of closer to the device in a module); reduce and simplify the interface; each module is limited to a certain amount of investment, in order to dissolve or reduce the risk brought about by the EPC. The main contract forms considered are EPC, EP C, E PC, PMC will be based on different module design depth, technical complexity, duration, volume of work and other factors to consider which form of contract, so as to save investment for the construction unit as a whole. Shanshan Lanzhou crude oil commercial reserve PMC project department, in charge of five large-scale projects, that is, in charge of five EPC, from the bidding of the project to the delivery and acceptance of the project, comprehensively consider the geographic area, investment and many other factors, for the owner to greatly save the investment.

Reduce investment through PMC's multi-project procurement agreement and unified project procurement strategy. A multi-project purchase agreement is a supply agreement between a construction unit and a manufacturer for a commodity. The manufacturer with whom the construction unit has entered into this agreement is the sole supplier of this commodity for the project. The construction unit obtains price and after-sales service concessions through this agreement. Each EPC contractor is required to procure the appropriate equipment as per the agreement provided by the owner. Multi-project procurement agreement is an important part of PMC project procurement strategy. In the project, there should not be too many choices of categories of commodities, so as not to restrict the EPC contractors too much and affect their motivation.PMC should also coordinate the cooperation among contractors to meet the construction unit's goal of reducing the total investment of the project. In the Shanshan Lanzhou crude oil commercial reserve depot PMC management process, the bulk purchasing agreement of five projects, not only to facilitate the management, but also to ensure the quality of procurement, and ultimately also realize the purpose of saving the total investment.

PMC optimization of project management. PMC can optimize the construction of the whole project through its rich experience in project management, and combined with the actual situation of the project. Under the premise of ensuring safety, the PMC project department of Shanshanlan Reserve Bank gives full play to the advantages of general contracting of project management, and puts forward its own goals from the aspects of construction quality, progress, and information, and if the EPC fails to realize the project on schedule, the project payment will be given a delay in payment, or even given a deduction. This gives full play to the management advantages of PMC, so that the extension of the "owner" can also be fully proved.

Compared with the traditional domestic construction management mode, PMC has the following advantages: First, it helps to improve the management level of the entire project during the construction period to ensure that the project is put into operation successfully. Construction units selected to undertake PMC companies are mostly well-known engineering companies at home and abroad, they have a wealth of experience in project management and many years engaged in PMC background, because of its specialization in engineering construction management, its technical strength and management level are general engineering companies can not be compared to; second, conducive to the construction of the unit to save project investment. Most of the construction units and PMC signed the contract to save investment to give the corresponding proportion of incentives, PMC in the project to ensure safety, quality, schedule and other objectives under the premise of the basic design, they can be in line with the policy of saving investment control, so as to reduce the cost of the project, such as procurement, construction, in order to achieve the purpose of saving the total investment; third, is conducive to streamlining the construction unit construction period management organization. For traditional large-scale projects, the construction unit are selected construction command for management, the number of people, complex organizational structure. And how to resettle these personnel after the completion of the project is also a long-term problem that can not be solved. But between PMC and construction unit is a contractual relationship, in the construction period, PMC will be organized for the project characteristics of the personnel increase or decrease, while the construction unit only need to retain a small number of personnel to manage the project, so that the construction unit of the project management organization can be streamlined.


Three existing deficiencies and recommendations

First, the PMC management experience is not enough, the individual stuck in the traditional way of working, it is difficult to adapt to this new transformation, the implementation of the project lack of foresight and initiative. When carrying out the construction unit's intention and meeting the contract requirements, due to the way of work and communication and other reasons, sometimes the construction unit's understanding and recognition is not obtained, at this time the PMC personnel may take the way of avoidance, dispute and other ways to solve the problems, which will lead to the follow-up work is difficult to carry out. When this situation occurs, should be calm, find out the root cause of the problem, so that things can be satisfactorily resolved.

Secondly, there is a lack of uniform procedures, methods, regulations and standards within the PMC project department. Due to the relatively small number of domestic PMC management practices, the lack of experience in various aspects, resulting in "one person's decision", "decided to change", "orders do not work" and other phenomena. In order to solve the above problems, should be more theoretical training, more reference to foreign advanced project management experience, more communication between the project, purpose. In order to solve the above problems, more theoretical training should be carried out, more advanced foreign project management experience should be cited, more communication between projects, purposeful, planned to train a group of technical and management experts capable of executing international projects, and in this way to promote the improvement of the overall management level, and truly achieve the unity of procedures, methods and regulations.

Third, many departments, personnel responsibilities are not clear. As PMC management involves procurement, design, construction and other related work, so the various departments are generated accordingly. In the process of project construction, due to the need for the work of the various departments and related personnel may need to collaborate, at this time there is a mutual shirking of responsibilities, not communicating with each other, etc. PMC is a project organization, each member is part of the organization, should be the big picture, in accordance with the requirements of the PMC Management Handbook and the corresponding documents, to seriously perform their duties to achieve full cooperation. bbs.mypm. net

Fourth, HSE (health, safety, environmental protection) work methods, depth and foreign engineering companies than there is a big gap between the lack of quantitative analysis of the means. HSE promotion can be said to be a "humane management" of a major step forward, but "people-oriented, safety" HSE policy. The promotion of HSE can be said to be a great progress of "humanized management", but the HSE policy of "people-oriented, safety" has been greatly compromised in the project. In order to catch up with the progress, the staff still have to work overtime and brave the cold and heat, and also pollute the environment. So the slogan can not just shout, should be implemented in place, should be regularly checked, regularly analyze the implementation of the strength.

Fifth, the lack of legal, insurance and other professionals. As the PMC model is currently in the domestic project has just started, under the influence of economic interests and social factors, engineering projects in the legal and insurance professionals is almost a blank. China's PMC model to develop, to go international, must grow this area of talent. Project Management Training

Fourth, the application of PMC management model in the domestic project

PMC model is applied to the engineering management of capital construction projects, the scope of application of the whole process of construction, that is, from the project to the project until the completion of the project acceptance of the whole process. Project Manager Blog

In the petrochemical industry, CPE Beijing Xing Oil Supervision Co., Ltd. has taken the lead in the long-distance pipeline by adopting the PMC model to carry out the project management work. 2006 started the Lan-Yin long-distance pipeline gas transmission project, the construction period and the total investment compared with the international projects, may be a small project, but the basic theories of the PMC management, methods, steps, means, etc. have been successfully embodied in the project management. and means, etc. have been successfully embodied, and a set of engineering project management mode suitable for China's national conditions and the enterprise's own characteristics has been summarized. The results are operable, and with 2008 in Shanshan Lanzhou crude oil commercial reserve reservoir project construction project management to be promoted and applied. Project Manager's Blog

Based on the characteristics of PMC project management model, CPE Beijing Xing Oil Supervision Company established PMC project organization: a project manager was assigned to be fully responsible for the project construction management, and a group of professional supporting and experienced managers were assigned to work with the project manager. At the same time, the PMC project management manual was formulated, and the overall goal was decomposed into a target decomposition system: the quality goal was decomposed into sub-projects, the progress goal was decomposed into weekly plans, and the investment goal was decomposed into monthly investment. Quality control is based on process control, progress control is based on daily progress, and investment control is based on weekly investment. In order to ensure the successful realization of the objectives, a series of systems and measures have been developed, and in the control emphasize prior control and feedback control, according to the plan tracking feedback control procedures to detect deviations, and constantly adjust the plan to ensure the realization of the objectives.

PMC project management into the ISO9002 standard requirements. Project management in accordance with engineering construction management procedures targeted planning, organization, implementation, inspection, feedback, correction, verification, control process to form a closed loop, the realization of the PDCA cycle.

PMC project management includes HSE management system, emphasizing the concept of "people-oriented, health above all, safety first", through the development of a series of systems and measures to ensure the realization of HSE objectives.

PMC project information management to promote the information platform system, in the process of construction of a large number of data, incoming and outgoing documents, are processed through the information platform in a timely manner, not only to save materials, but also greatly improve the efficiency of the work for the application of PMC management has injected a new impetus.

In the Shanshan Lanzhou crude oil commercial reserve depot project in the application of PMC project management mode specific process is described as follows:

First, the development of PMC control objectives. PMC project management mode of implementation of the target management, based on the construction unit of the construction project should be achieved in a specific requirement, the development of a clear control objectives. PMC control objectives include: quality control objectives, progress control objectives, investment control objectives, and safety control objectives. Under the requirements of the specific objectives, PMC management mode with its unique organizational structure, operational methods, management procedures and implementation measures to ensure the full realization of the PMC control objectives.

Second, the establishment of PMC project management organization and job responsibilities. (1) Project Manager: fully responsible for planning project management objectives, exercise and assume the rights and obligations under the PMC contract. Instructions, decisions, coordination, rewards and punishments. (2)Deputy project manager: under the unified leadership of the project manager, according to the authorization of the project manager, responsible for the project technology, quality, procurement, progress, cost control and document management. (3)Design Department: responsible for the review of preliminary design and construction, supervision of design execution, review of design changes, and organization of design technology exchange. (4) QHSE Department: HSE management and inspection; quality target setting and implementation, quality management, inspection and supervision; organization and training of commissioning; accident investigation and handling, etc. (5) Coordination Department: responsible for the coordination of project start-up management, land acquisition agreement, the organization of large meetings, external liaison and vehicle scheduling. (6) Procurement Department: responsible for the supervision of EPC procurement plan, supervision of factory supervision, participation in the acceptance of key materials and equipment, and supervision of EPC procurement bidding management. (7) Control Department: It is mainly responsible for project progress plan control management, investment control management, contract management and project payment management. (8) Documentation and Control Department: responsible for the collection, publication, distribution and archiving management of project information, and responsible for organizing and coordinating the archiving management of completion information of various departments.

The successful commissioning and normal operation of the Lan-Yin Gas Pipeline Project and Shanshan Lanzhou Crude Oil Commercial Reservoir Project have fully affirmed the PMC management mode, which has been highly praised by the construction unit and the industry, and laid a cornerstone for the promotion of subsequent PMC management work in the petrochemical industry.
