Help OEMs Help You:  Getting better designs for automation and reliability from your suppliers, PaperCon 2016

Identifying Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) with the capabilities, expertise and experience to design, build and deliver physical assets that perform beyond the stakeholders’ expectations is an important initial step in delivering a successful project.  Identifying all the stakeholders and their interests is critical to accomplishing this objective.  Not identifying all the stakeholders may be the biggest mistake project managers make across the board to jeopardize the long-term performance & Life Cycle Costs (LCC) of the assets their capital projects introduce.  By limiting the stakeholders identified at the “Initiate” phase of a project, the User Requirement Specification (URS) and supporting engineering specifications and standards lack the depth to represent all the “Users” and objectives for the project.  When tunnel vision sets in at this early phase of concept and design, focusing in on the traditional cost, scope and schedule to define a project, the opportunity to raise the bar on the LCC and long-term performance is often lost before it’s even defined.
