Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Advanced Work Packaging is one of the advanced approaches towards project execution that increases efficiency in construction projects, along with integrating collaboration in the whole life cycle of a project. This thesis will present an in-depth look at AWP and its application in the construction industry, focusing on the objectives and basic components. The basic processes that comprise AWP are considered, including the development and timing of Construction Work Areas (CWA), Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), and the Path of Construction (POC). the progress and execution of Engineering work packages (EWP)development, Construction Work Packages (CWP) and Procurement Work Packages (PWP) are studied in great detail, with emphasis on how these will help in project scheduling, cost estimation, and materials management. Workface planning is put forward as an important component of Advanced Work Packaging, emphasizing its phases that range from pre-contract deliberations to system turnover. It identifies the roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders, such as the AWP champion and other contractor positions. In addition, this research discusses constraint management, productivity reporting, and change management at project execution. Key performance indicators relevant to successful field deployment are defined, providing a view of how AWP improves on-site performance and predictability. Two interviews were done to assess the expertise, knowledge, and experience background with the bibliography contents for a more practical understanding of AWP implementation as a challenge. The result takes some thematic information and a better idea about this issue and a contribution to this unknown issue by companies even in research. This work thesis attends a bibliographic review, demonstrating how AWP improves project delivery and creates a structured approach to construction management, improving project control, predictability, and overall success.
