1.1 Plan Work Packaging Overview Plan User Guide

1.1 PLAN WORK PACKAGING OVERVIEW

InEight Plan is an application within the InEight portfolio of products. It is a tool for engineers and
superintendents to plan their work and track quantities during the construction of the project.
InEight Plan is organized into two modules:

Plan Modules

Work Packaging Creating and managing work packages.


Quantity Tracking Creating and managing components and claiming schemes.
Claiming completed quantities.

1.1.1 InEight Plan Work Flow


The below workflow illustrates the functions of both InEight Plan and InEight Progress, and how data
flows between the two applications.

Page 10 of 90 InEight Inc. | Release 23.10


Plan User Guide 1.1 Plan Work Packaging Overview

Scenario

You are a Project Manager about to start construction of a Steel Structure project. Your first step
before starting construction is to break the project down into pieces that are more manageable.

The image below depicts a layout for a steel structure project. The project consists of erecting 30
separate steel structures on opposite sides of a road. Each structure or module has been assigned a
number 1-30.

InEight Inc. | Release 23.10 Page 11 of 90


1.1 Plan Work Packaging Overview Plan User Guide

1.1.2 Work Packaging


Work Packaging breaks down projects into small, manageable scopes of work so that operations can be
assigned to responsible supervision, executed, and tracked effectively. In InEight Plan, you can break
the work of your project into construction work areas (CWAs), construction work packages (CWPs) and
installation work packages (IWPs).

Page 12 of 90 InEight Inc. | Release 23.10


Plan User Guide 1.1 Plan Work Packaging Overview

As mentioned in the scenario above, the scope of the Steel Structure project was too big to manage
without segmenting it down to work packages representing one to four weeks’ worth of work. In Plan,
this breakdown of the project could look like this:

MANAGEMENT

3.2 WORK PACKAGE MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW

3.2.1 What is Advanced Work Packaging (AWP)?


Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) is a standardized way to plan the execution of a construction project
including design, procurement, and installation. AWP aims to change the planning process to be
execution driven: approaching the beginning of your construction project with the end in mind. In the
past, planning was siloed, Engineering first, then Procurement, and finally Construction. AWP starts
with the priorities of Construction and or commissioning and works backwards.
The Work Packaging module of InEight Plan provides an organized platform to break down your project
into manageable scopes of work. Work packages can be developed to include all items necessary to
complete the scope as well as all constraints that would impede progress.

Page 42 of 90 InEight Inc. | Release 23.10


Plan User Guide 3.2 Work Package Management Overview

3.2.2 Work Packages


There are three levels of work package definition that can be used in InEight Plan:
l Construction Work Area (CWA)
l Construction Work Package (CWP)
l Installation Work Package (IWP)

Scenario

Imagine you are working on a project with the following scope: 30 modules in which you need to
complete earthwork, foundations, and erect the steel support structures.

Using the scenario above as an example, assume that you initially break the project into two
construction work areas (CWA): North Area and South Area. You break each area of work into three
different construction work packages: Earthwork, Foundation, and Steel Erection. From there, you can
break each construction work package into multiple installation work packages so you can plan at a
detailed level and identify the specific constraints, components, safety and quality risks.

InEight Inc. | Release 23.10 Page 43 of 90


3.2 Work Package Management Overview Plan User Guide

Construction work areas (CWAs) are created for the project or organization in the
Configure CWA and project values page prior to defining construction work packages.

[Link] Construction Work Package (CWP)

A construction work package (CWP) defines a logical and manageable division of work within the
construction scope. CWPs are aligned with the project execution plan (which includes the construction
plan) and the WBS. The division of work is defined such that CWPs do not overlap within a discipline.
CWPs are to be measurable and in alignment with project controls. CWPs are the basis for the
development of detailed installation work packages. They should also align with engineering and
procurement work packages. A typical CWP includes the following:
l Safety requirements
l At least one EWP
l Schedule
l Budget (work hours/cost/productivity)
l Environmental requirements
l Quality requirements
l Special resource requirements
A CWP can also contain activity, material, and contract components.

Page 44 of 90 InEight Inc. | Release 23.10


Plan User Guide 3.2 Work Package Management Overview

A CWP may be divided by area, system, or as otherwise determined by the project (construction)
execution plan. In general, it is better to develop CWPs by discipline. A large project will likely contain
multiple CWPs. CWPs can be the basis of contractual scopes of work. A contractual scope may contain
more than one CWP. Complete specifications of CWPs grow over time to include productivity factors,
detailed cost reports, and other considerations.

[Link] Installation Work Package (IWP)

An installation work package (IWP) is the deliverable that enables a construction work crew to perform
work in a safe, predictable, measurable, and efficient manner. An IWP is scoped to be manageable and
“progressable”; it is typically of limited size such that a crew can complete the work in about a week.
An IWP contains the necessary documentation supporting workface execution. IWPs should be
approved by the responsible stakeholders, and all constraints should be completed before issuance to
the field. A typical IWP includes the following:
l Work package summary – inclusive of description of work, location, system or facility code,
originator, contact information, sequenced work steps, reference documents, estimate of work
hours and quantities, cost codes, witness or hold points, and special comments quantity work
sheet
l Safety hazard analysis, specific to tasks in work package
l Material Safety Data Sheet

superintendent, and craft personnel in a preparatory meeting, with special focus on anticipated
constraints.
Generally, the scope of work associated with the IWP should be small enough that it could be
completed by a single foreman and crew within a pre-defined block of work hours. Work hour blocks
should be between 500 and 1,000 hours. An IWP contains all applicable and pertinent documents in
support of safe and efficient installation of a specific portion of a system by a given trade. These
documents are written specifically for the crew performing the activity.

3.3 WORK PACKAGE CREATION

The first step in utilizing the Work Packaging module is to set up your work package structure.

Scenario

Tomorrow, your crew will be starting the steel erection work on your module. You are now ready
to plan the work for your crew. During this first day, you want your crew to install the A7
connections to foundations. Your crew will consist of a Grove-RT880E crane, 3 Ironworkers and 1
Laborer. You want to make sure to communicate the work to your crew and identify safety
concerns for the day.

In this topic, you will create a daily plan from an already existing work package using the Daily Plan
Wizard in the InEight Plan web application.

Plan User Guide 3.4 Daily Plan from Work Package (Daily Plan Wizard)

3.4.1 What is a Daily Plan?


After you put your work package together, you break it down into daily segments, or the work you plan
to accomplish in a given day.
Using the scenario above as an example, your steel erection work package for your module will take
multiple days to complete. You will use daily planning to plan the work in the sequence you are looking
to do it in, day by day. Daily planning is a good tool to communicate to your crew your safety concerns,
quality and environmental risks, and expected productivity.
Daily planning combines:
l Components
l Activity components
l Material components associated with WBS
l Resources (employees, and equipment)
l Planned hours
l Planned quantities
l Notes/Issues
l Attachments (for example, safety notes, plan specifications)

3.4.2 Daily Plan Wizard


The Daily Plan Wizard is a powerful tool that can help automate the process of setting up daily plans by
copying information from an already existing work package to avoid duplicate work. The Daily Plan
Wizard allows you to choose which parts of the work package will be brought into the daily plan.
You access the Daily Plan Wizard from Plan Work packaging module.
