Contract strategy

Two total syntheses of welwitindolinone A isonitrile have been completed so far. The first of them, due to Baran, uses a ring-contraction strategy to generate the cyclobutane ring, and is remarkable for the absence of protect-... 

In summary, the method described here provides an efficient and convenient route to a variety of a-diazo ketones including unsaturated derivatives that were not previously available by diazo transfer. a-Diazo ketones serve as key intermediates in a number of important synthetic methods including the Arndt-Eistert homologation, the photo-Woltf ring contraction strategy, and the carbenoid-mediated cyclopropanation reaction. We anticipate that improved access to a-diazo ketones will serve to enhance the utility of these valuable synthetic strategies. 

The project execution plan is intimately related to the cost estimate each one depends on the other and neither can be totally complete without the other. For example, the total number of construction hours may be a determining factor in the contracting strategy, while the contracting strategy will affect productivity, which in turn impacts on the hours. Furthermore, both will influence schedules. Ideally,... 

The level of a project execution plan discussed in this book is basically a master bar chart schedule showing the required labor loading, indicating the contracting strategy and the expected rate of progress. 

The engineering and construction contracting strategies have been established. 

A single page memo highlighting the selected contracting strategy and any out of ordinary schedule maintaining scheme. 

The execution approach and contracting strategy will affect engineering costs, labor productivity, and field indirects. Since the cost impact could be substantial, the estimate package must include at least a simple description of the execution plan. 

The unit hours in the estimating procedures, in Chapter 19, are based on so-called Gulf Coast productivity which tends to be conservative since it is mainly based on a direct-hire situation and unionized labor practices. They very seldom find their way into an estimate but are adjusted, up or down, to reflect specific project requirements, contracting strategy and general business conditions as well as local labor availability and atmosphere. It is up to the Project Manager to ascertain the validity of the labor productivity used in developing construction man-hours. Labor productivity is discussed in some detail in Chapter 19.

The contracting strategy is an important element of the Project Execution Plan, affecting cost and schedule, that must be developed early in the project between the Project Manager and the Contract Engineer. It must be reviewed and approved at the proper management level. 

THERE IS NO SINGLE CONTRACTING STRATEGY THAT EFFICIENTLY FITS ALL PROJECTS. 

Project control is exercised when establishing contracting strategy and selecting contractors. 

Intelligent contracting reduces project costs and enhances the probability of success. The Project Manager must work closely with the Contracts Engineer to develop a contracting strategy that results in the selection of the contractor(s) most likely to do a quality job at a minimum cost. 

The selection of the architectural/engineering (A/E) and construction/management (C/M) firms and the contracting strategy with those firms is a function of the schedule drivers. Activities must be worked on concurrently to support the... 

This is also the payoff from the forward contract strategy. The key point is that if equation (6.3) below holds, then so must (6.4).

Table B2.1 Design processes for three different contracting strategies (scenarios).

Table B2.1 show that not only are the design processes different, as indicated in the column Main Characteristics , but the interfaces between the processes and their environments are also quite different, as indicated in the columns Input and Output . Much of the complexity in design comes from these interfaces, and how we handle this complexity therefore depends on which particular process we are considering. We shall return to this issue in Chapter C2, when we discuss how systems engineering has been developed largely within a particular contracting strategy, the acquisition strategy of the US Department of Defense, and how this has been a barrier to applying the systems approach in non-defence industries.

A variety of possible contracting strategies, as discussed in Sec. B3.3, and illustrated in [2] by a couple of examples from the power generating industry.
