Recent Projects |
Mr. Graham was retained by a major gas pipeline firm to manage their Condition Monitoring System Replacement project. In this capacity, he lead a team which undertook pre-engineering, and defined business goals. Peter's team also defined the client's condition monitoring requirements, and evaluated the current marketplace. Each product and vendor was evaluated from functional, technical, and vendor direction/strategy standpoints. When it was determined that no single commercial offering met the mandatory criteria, a hybrid build/buy strategy was proposed and accepted by stakeholders and management. This was a substantial achievement, as the condition monitoring area had a difficult history of ownership and development conflict among the stakeholders of the system, leading to a political gridlock. Despite a continuing adversarial and uncertain environment, the project delivered a technical path forward which was supported by all of the stakeholders and management. The project was completed under budget, although somewhat late, caused primarily by negotiations to get all parties onside with the recommendation. January - November, 1997 Mr. Graham was retained by a gas pipeline firm to lead a team which redefined business processes to use SAP functionality. The team also developed and delivered training to support the implementation, and was responsible for data capture to support the 1995/96 pipeline construction program. Subsequently, the contract scope was enlarged to include additional training development to support SAP work order procedures and maintenance history analysis. As SAP depends upon a high degree of data integration, it was also necessary to define a business-based data management process, the underlying accountabilities and responsibilities as well as defining new job descriptions. The project was completed early and under budget. June - December, 1996 |
Other Projects |
SAP Plant Maintenance - Facilities Provision business readiness Recruited to lead a team to implement in SAP, data capture mechanisms to support the 'Determine Maintenance Program' a process within NGTL's Facilities Provision group. This required the establishment of an initial set of data management Standards and Guidelines which defined the terms and content for this data which forms part of SAP's Plant Maintenance system. July, 1995 - April, 1996 Business Transformation - Plant Control Information Integration Strategy (PCIIS) A strategic study of the benefits which could be derived from having all facility and equipment operating data available via a data warehouse for access to historical and via remote access for realtime. Participated initially as the IS member of team and subsequently as Project Manager. The analysis was undertaken using the proprietary Decision and Risk Analysis process (from D&RA Inc. of Chadds Ford, PA). Identified a net lifetime benefit of over $400MM with a cost of under $100MM. A number of initiatives stemming from this analysis are now proceeding. October, 1994 - June, 1995 |
