Fact Sheet

Here is a typical case. A utility power generation customer was

upgrading multiple units; the scope of work on each unit was a

new hydraulic skid (for BFPT’s), and a new local operator panel.

There was no EDP requested on the first unit. The project was

completed satisfactorily, but because the project teams had to

deal with events as they occurred, the schedule inevitably

shifted. On the second unit, the customer insisted on an EDP up

front, and the project proceeded smoothly.

While individual EDP components can be assigned among the

various project parties, it often makes greater sense to assign

responsibility to a single party.
