This is what I Learned on a Multi Billion Dollar LNG Project
During my time on an LNG expansion project, I was working with the Piping Project Manager on material tracking and reporting. I was able to complete development of a tool in around a month that cut the original reporting time from weeks to a day.
Here’s what I learned from that experience
I was tasked with creating a tool from scratch that could provide visual data on the current status and a 30, 60, 90 day lookahead for piping footage and modules.
In order to develop the tool, I had to discuss what the key performance indicators were (footage, timing, type, and material) in order to tailor the dashboard to the audience of upper management and other stakeholders
I was able to use Excel and Access to scrape the shipping data from multiple suppliers and organize them by shipping date and lookahead. With some feedback from each stakeholder I was able to make a product that collected all the data and visualized it in a matter of hours. The reporting they used prior took weeks of combining sheets and manual data entry and analysis.
