It is tempting to think that you can simply take an existing plant and create that same asset in a different location for the same cost. Sadly, there’s no such thing as identical projects. However, management often seems to think so. What to keep in mind when building a plant abroad? This article zooms into some of the location and productivity factors and gives an insight on how to obtain them.
In this article, as published in the leading Chemical Engineering magazine, Cost Engineering Consultancy provides insight into how the business processes related to process design can be better integrated into the processes of the cost engineering department. Focus is not just on the people working in those fields, but also on the tools they use and how integrating them can save both time and money.
Cost Engineering is proud to welcome you to the Cost Engineering Event 2015, the fifth edition of the most important cost engineering event in Europe. Nowadays we see more and more pressure for projects to be delivered in time, within the established budget and with the best quality. Therefore, the theme for this year’s Event is “Cost Estimating and Project Control: Closing the loop”. A title that refl ects the necessity of bringing estimating and project controls closer together. At the previous Cost Engineering Event the theme was about Total Cost Management and we noticed that the companies we work with are more and more interested in the total concept of cost engineering. At Cost Engineering we therefore promote that companies should make a step in bringing the estimating and project controls departments closer together, as opposed to two different departments each with their own different views and tools.
