00:00:02.740 --> 00:00:09.940
Hello and welcome to the first introduction of the
Certified EPC Project Managers program

00:00:10.660 --> 00:00:17.620
This program will take you step by step through
the various aspects of EPC project management

00:00:18.500 --> 00:00:26.660
The total program consists of 13 sessions and each
session will have on average 3 video parts

00:00:27.180 --> 00:00:31.330
So in total you will be able to watch
approximately

00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:33.840
10 hours of lessons

00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:43.240
Let me first of all welcome you to the world of EPC

00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:50.400
World that I have been working in for quite a while
now, and I must say

00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:52.560
a world that still fascinates me

00:00:54.600 --> 00:01:02.480
The world of EPC projects is much more diverse than
most people will think in almost every industry

00:01:02.870 --> 00:01:05.349
You will be able to find EPC projects

00:01:05.430 --> 00:01:10.550
although of course the emphasis is still very much
on technical projects

00:01:14.160 --> 00:01:17.280
But first let me introduce myself

00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:20.320
My name is Marco de Booij

00:01:20.320 --> 00:01:26.240
I have been in projects and especially in EPC
projects for quite a long time now

00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:33.160
I started off as a process engineer in the oil and
gas industry, where EPC projects are very popular

00:01:33.440 --> 00:01:34.840
but pretty quickly

00:01:35.350 --> 00:01:37.670
I moved into Project Management

00:01:39.240 --> 00:01:46.440
The last decade or so I have dedicated myself to
pass on my experience and knowledge through

00:01:46.440 --> 00:01:48.440
consulting and training

00:01:50.600 --> 00:01:52.760
Originally from the Netherlands

00:01:52.960 --> 00:01:58.680
I have always worked in an international
environment and I have lived not only in the

00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:01.160
Netherlands, but also in the US

00:02:01.320 --> 00:02:05.080
in Hong Kong and recently in Malaysia

00:02:07.590 --> 00:02:09.150
Certification wise

00:02:09.350 --> 00:02:19.549
I have a PMP certification and an RMP certification
from PMI and I'm also a certified ESG practitioner

00:02:21.910 --> 00:02:28.430
I'm looking forward to going through the various
sessions of this program together with you

00:02:32.530 --> 00:02:35.290
In order to get everyone on the same page

00:02:35.410 --> 00:02:43.370
we will start with an introductory session on EPC
projects and in this session we will discuss what

00:02:43.370 --> 00:02:49.970
makes an EPC project and what are some of the
characteristics of an EPC project

00:02:50.329 --> 00:02:56.130
We will also go into some case studies of real
life EPC projects

00:02:59.100 --> 00:03:00.220
In the next session

00:03:00.220 --> 00:03:07.540
session two, we will look more closely at the life
cycles within a project and some of the project

00:03:07.540 --> 00:03:14.420
management methodologies that are popular around
the world and that are also being used in EPC

00:03:14.420 --> 00:03:15.380
projects

00:03:19.850 --> 00:03:21.250
In session three

00:03:21.290 --> 00:03:29.010
we will examine what goes on before the EPC
contract is signed between the client and the EPC

00:03:29.010 --> 00:03:30.090
contractor

00:03:30.810 --> 00:03:36.730
We will focus on the bidding stage and also on
contract negotiations

00:03:40.040 --> 00:03:47.120
Session four will go into more detail on the actual
EPC contracts that are being used worldwide

00:03:47.760 --> 00:03:54.600
We will discuss contracts and contract management
in general and we will look at physic contracts in

00:03:54.600 --> 00:03:55.480
particular

00:03:58.470 --> 00:04:03.990
Next topic is the starting or initiation of the
project in session five

00:04:05.190 --> 00:04:12.270
What makes EPC project special is that much of the
project initiation and project planning actually

00:04:12.270 --> 00:04:14.550
happens during the bidding phase

00:04:17.690 --> 00:04:23.210
In Section 6, we start looking at the major
elements of an EPC project

00:04:23.370 --> 00:04:25.930
starting with the Project scope

00:04:26.890 --> 00:04:29.130
We will discuss requirements gathering

00:04:29.290 --> 00:04:36.450
scope statement and importantly we will discuss
the concept of a word breakdown structure in this

00:04:36.570 --> 00:04:37.330
session

00:04:41.270 --> 00:04:42.549
After the scope

00:04:42.630 --> 00:04:50.150
we will look at the project schedule in session 7
Main topics in this session will be how to create

00:04:50.830 --> 00:04:56.590
and manage a schedule and the principles of
critical path planning

00:05:00.570 --> 00:05:05.210
Session 8 is dedicated to the money side of the EPC
project

00:05:05.530 --> 00:05:07.250
We will discuss cash flow

00:05:07.690 --> 00:05:12.930
cost estimating and the development of the project
budget

00:05:15.940 --> 00:05:17.340
In session nine

00:05:17.540 --> 00:05:23.340
we will zoom in on one of the more important
aspects of an EPC project and that is risk

00:05:23.340 --> 00:05:24.140
management

00:05:24.700 --> 00:05:29.140
As EPC projects contain large financial and
operational risks

00:05:29.420 --> 00:05:32.140
good risk management is absolutely critical

00:05:32.660 --> 00:05:34.940
We will look at risk management planning

00:05:35.100 --> 00:05:36.860
risk identification

00:05:36.980 --> 00:05:41.140
risk analysis and risk response development

00:05:44.200 --> 00:05:52.320
Another important aspect of EPC project is QHSE
management and we are dedicating Session 10 to this

00:05:52.320 --> 00:05:52.800
topic

00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:57.000
We will discuss the quality aspects of the project

00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:04.720
health and safety and we will look at
environmental as part of the current trends of ESG

00:06:04.880 --> 00:06:06.000
performance

00:06:09.490 --> 00:06:16.050
After dealing with the various elements of an EPC
project, Session 11 will focus on the execution

00:06:16.050 --> 00:06:17.770
phase of the project

00:06:18.890 --> 00:06:20.010
In this session

00:06:20.050 --> 00:06:24.130
we will look separately at engineering execution

00:06:24.170 --> 00:06:28.330
procurement and construction and commissioning
execution

00:06:32.359 --> 00:06:36.719
Session 12 goes into more detail on project control

00:06:38.789 --> 00:06:42.229
The two main topics are progress reporting

00:06:42.740 --> 00:06:48.940
And the popular rogress measurement technique of
Earned Value Analysis

00:06:54.390 --> 00:07:00.710
The final session might be the shortest of the
program, but definitely not the least important

00:07:01.190 --> 00:07:08.430
This session is all about the closing of the
project and we will give special attention to the

00:07:08.430 --> 00:07:16.470
handover of all data and documents to the client
and the compilation of lessons learned by the EPC

00:07:16.789 --> 00:07:17.869
contractor

00:07:20.869 --> 00:07:26.829
Throughout the program there will be a number of
short quizzes with some multiple choice questions

00:07:28.500 --> 00:07:31.980
These quizzes will prepare you for the final exam

00:07:32.859 --> 00:07:41.020
This exam is a 50 multiple choice questions exam
and if you attended all the online sessions and

00:07:41.140 --> 00:07:47.820
pass the exam, you will have earned the Certified
EPC Project Manager certification

00:07:50.030 --> 00:07:57.950
Thank you for watching this short introduction on
the Certified EPC Project Managers program and I am

00:07:58.770 --> 00:08:06.890
looking forward to working with you on achieving
the certification that goes with this program

00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:11.240
I'll see you in the first session
