Explorations in Application of PPM - Digital Infrastructure

In the symposium, Brian Green, a seasoned construction professional, shared key insights in “Navigating Time and Complexity: A PCM Journey.” His presentation traced his company’s evolution, emphasizing Project Production Management (PPM) to improve development yield. Green addressed the industry-wide issue of project delays, highlighting the critical role of PPM.
Focused on demand signaling and the project lifecycle’s back end, Green’s PPM approach was illustrated through a production system model, stressing optimal capacity utilization. Real-world examples, like a permitting challenge in Chile, emphasized the importance of early identification of third-party risks and systemic information sharing.
Navigating commissioning complexities, Green emphasized proactive issue prediction for effective time control. Transitioning from schedule management to production control, the presentation outlined strategies to reduce cycle times and enhance predictability.
With optimism, Brian Green foresees success in minimizing project variability and optimizing cycle times, calling industry professionals to embrace a cultural shift toward efficient project production.
