As industry has changed over the past several years, managers and leaders have found themselves pushed to deliver shorter turnarounds while meeting cost-savings targets. Many facilities rely on management companies, specialized services companies and staffing management partners to coordinate projects. The success of these projects is measured through review of results against the facility's safety, quality, cost and schedule goals, and then reviewed to determine the success of the event. But what do you look for in a vendor relationship to ensure a positive outcome?
Ensuring that a vendor has the resources required to support any project or scope challenge provides the dependability and flexibility needed in the market today. Years of experience with confirmed references provide a proven, successful history to rely on. The ability to engage automated equipment and highly trained personnel to provide first-time quality guaranteed minimizes rework and provides the predictability needed to support overall project and site needs. Effectively combining the experienced and superior project management and site supervision with automation and a highly skilled workforce is the key to executing a successful project.
But perhaps the most important factor in a successful vendor relationship is a vendor's approach to all projects as a true partnership, where vendor profitability is tied to the facility's project targets. Linking these standards into agreements that tie the vendor's success to the project's success shows a vendor understands the value of productivity per dollar spent and ensures a matching commitment to project delivery that meets or exceeds your expectations. Facilities gain additional value when they engage vendors in the planning phase of a project, which in BHI Energy's experience provides the ability to integrate a project management approach and automation as well as skilled craft personnel to maximize efficiency and reduce manpower requirements for any scope, saving time and money.
