3WorleyParsons Historical Data
- TIGA JV select Intergraph's AIM System for Bayu
Undan Project. 1999. - WorleyParsons select SmartPlant Foundation as
part of corporate toolkit. 2004 - Intergraph recommend SmartPlant Foundation BO
model for fast track startup. Jun 05 - Australia develop Document Control Model in BO
model. Jul 05 on - All document control installations to date
configured on BO model - London develop Data Handover solution in SO
model. Sept 05 on - Houston commence TEF interface testing in SO
model. Feb 06 on - SP Data Loader introduced by Intergraph. Jun 06
- Workshops and development to implement SPF 2008
commenced Dec 07 - Development on SPF 2008 model commenced April 08
4Total token usage to July 08 127,950Average
12000 tokens per month globally

6Network Structure
7Network Overview
- The SmartPlant Foundation global solution within
WorleyParsons is based around a centralised
application and Oracle database server. - These servers are currently located in Perth
Australia. - The corporate investment in network and Internet
cloud technology enables direct access to the SPF
application from any office within the
WorleyParsons domain. - To further increase performance it is typical to
install an additional file server in each
location enabling search via Perth with results
displayed locally. This performance enhancement
is realised through change replication constantly
monitoring alignment between Perth and the
project location. - Development of an https configuration enables
external parties to gain entry to SPF within a
secured environment. - Integration of FTP or Microsoft's SharePoint is
also widely utilised for delivery and receipt of
Supplier data. - Where infrastructure is poor not only in terms of
network but also services etc. a standalone
installation would be considered and an example
of this would be Lagos in Nigeria.
8 9- Tag Extractor
- WorleyParsons/Intergraph developed tag extractor
- Extracts tags from non-intelligent 2D
deliverables - MicroStation or AutoCAD format
- Generates tag extraction file for import into SPF
- Generates relationships between 2D deliverable
and document number for import into SPF - Utilised in WorleyParsons London office for
client data delivery

11Supplier Data Functionality
- The Supplier/Vendor module has undergone
considerable development recently. - We now have separate business objects for PO, PO
line Item, Requisition, Requisition Line Item and
Enquiry business objects to allow full
flexibility and traceability within SPF -
- Supplier Revision forms now updated to include
extra fields for the tracking of Supplier
documents through their lifecycle. - Development of vendor template with direct
loading into SPF from completed return. - Reporting interface to SPM to propagate document
section. - Current development on workflow automation
including expediting.

16Transmittal Export
17Multi-Update
Development to allow the document controllers the
ability to batch update the Document Status of
Document Revisions. Other work is underway to
extend this functionality to a generic form to
allow the update of multiple properties against
multiple revisions.
18Snippets
- New Functionality
- Email drag and drop
- Configuration and roll-out of secure internet SPF
access via https - DFS replication across multiple offices
- Vast improvements in bulk document loading
- Transmittal Automation
- Automatic updating of document revision
attributes based on transmittal status and type - Bulk extraction of documents for project handover
- Oracle tag and log of deleted files
- Restart workflow step for failed transmittals
- Set local file server
- Reset user windows
19Lessons Learnt (Pre 2008)
- Not originally architected as a multi instance
environment - Poor reporting and performance OOTB
- No vendor data control or workflows
- Inferior web interface
- High expertise level required at administration
level - Data integration overwhelming and only realised
at the tag level - Hot fixes consistently introduced or reintroduced
issues - Multitude of data loaders developed at Intergraph
regional level - Token costing model complex for external parties
- Lack of token reporting mechanism at project
level from global server
20 21The Approach
- Delta training of existing WorleyParsons
technical resources - Establishment of regional SPF expertise through
recruitment and training - Distribution of development across regional hubs
- Re-architecture of existing BO development to SO
model 6 month program - Full user acceptance testing and documentation
prior to project delivery - Report Creation utilising ASP and Microsoft
reporting engine - Ongoing support of 2007 BO model for existing
projects with selective migration plans - Utilisation of automated vendor document control
workflows - Phased approach to full SPE integrationPhase 1

- Evaluation of SPF 2008 progressing
22Key SPE Milestones
- Alignment on SmartPlant 2007 toolset versioning
- Completion of development on SPF 2008
- Creation of master PBS and publish from SPF
- Tool mapping exercise
- Architecture of SPE infrastructure
- Discipline workshops and workflow development
- Datasheet philosophy
- Publish and Retrieve cycle
- Supporting Documentation
- Training
23Global SPE Network
24Lessons Learnt (2008 to date)
- Powerful but more complex architecture enforcing
more standardisation - Re-training and new documentation required for
existing users - Ongoing transmittal issues
- Reporting OOTB still lacking
- Token issues still prevalent
- Realise requirement of SP3D for major benefits
25Future Plans
- Smartforms development to produce content rich
interface - Binders development for medium level data
handover - Barcoding integration
- PDF extraction
- XML reporting interface
- MS Office integration
- Progressing
- Interfacing to WorleyParsons corporate toolset
including PIMS and AutoPLANT
