Our daily environment…
• Process over 400,000 barrels of crude per day
• Annual Capital Investment approximately $400 million
• Majority of our construction is “revamp” on live operating units
• 20+ active construction job sites
• 700 – 1000 craftsmen on site each day
Big place…difficult environment…many reasons to perform poorly!

Our problem…
• Historical construction delivery extremely inefficient
• On average it would cost our site 38% more to deliver a project versus peers within petrochemical industry
• No pre-planning occurred
• Construction Planning was “ad-hoc”
• Repeated start/stop cycles for work crews
• Capital Projects Group had not hit annual spend target in over five years
We had to do something different!

What did we do? Our Lean journey begins…
• Began researching “LEAN” in 2010• Sought buy-in from BP leadership and stakeholders• Sought buy-in from contractor partners • Attended LCI Congress in 2011• Constructability involvement early in design• Started using “make work ready” tool and weekly work plans
on all construction projects in 2012• Pull Planning was missing…added this element in 2013• Measure performance through PPC and Earned Value
Our goal is to set a new industry benchmark!

Measuring performance… (Weekly One-Pager)
Earned Value
PPC
![Page 10: Implementing Lean Construction Methods at the Whiting … · “Implementing Lean Construction Methods. at the Whiting Refinery ... project versus peers within petrochemical industry](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051205/5af917197f8b9aff288cb21d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Seeing results across the board…
• Capital Projects Group hit spend target in 2012 and on track to hit it this year!
• Since implementing Last Planner System we have seen approximately 17% improvement in Schedule Performance Index
• Seeing average PPC’s of 74%
The following project examples tell the story…

So what’s the big deal?
• Established consistent approach for every job
• Paradigm Shift - overcome “the old way of doing things”
• Selling Lean to internal stakeholders requires diplomatic education
• World Class Safety Performance OSHA RIF = 0.20
“A well planned job is a safe job!”
