Handbook of Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety in Engineering Design - Part 83 studies the combination of various methods of designing for reliability, availability, maintainability and safety, as well as the latest techniques in probability and possibility modelling, mathematical algorithmic modelling, evolutionary algorithmic modelling, symbolic logic modelling, artificial intelligence modelling, and object-oriented computer modelling, in a logically structured approach to determining the integrity of engineering design. . | 804 A Design Engineer s Scope of Work Procurement Develop procurement policies and procedures. Issue evaluate bids for major equipment items and sub-contracts. Develop installed equipment costs. List suitable vendors for key equipment. Identify long-lead items. Development of Capital and Operating Cost The capital and operating cost estimates will be developed into a format to be agreed by the owner. The estimates will be developed to an accuracy of 10 . Development of the Project Schedule The master schedule will be developed for the project. The format and level of detail to be included is to be agreed by the owner. The master schedule must reflect the following - Fabrication installation schedules. - Vendor baseline commitments. - Construction schedules. - Commissioning schedules. Value Engineering and Risk Assessment The contractor will ensure that during the definitive study phase engineering effort is directed at minimising the cost of the EPC phase of the project without introducing unacceptable risk. As part of this requirement a full risk assessment will be undertaken on the project to ensure that all risks have been adequately identified and quantified. Significant effort will be put into the planning of the project delivery to ensure the best approach. The constructability of the plant and such issues as onsite or offsite pre-assembly of structures and vessels will be assessed for the impact on overall cost and schedule. During engineering discussions will be held with the owner to look at ways to optimise the design especially the full utilisation of services and utilities. Commonality of designs will be considered to reduce spares inventories and prior studies will be reviewed and incorporated where appropriate. A Design Engineer s Scope of Work 805 Project Execution Plan A project execution plan will be prepared that includes the following sub-plans as a minimum Occupational health and safety plan. Contracting plan. Industrial relation plan. .
