Post #2 Lessons Learned 1st Entry, Rick

• Make request of FMC Free Issue Materials earlier in the process. It has been suggested that the earlier we make the request, the earlier we can get the complete package.
• Have a shortage report meeting as soon as possible to identify the expediting scope at least 4 weeks prior to project delivery.
• Develop a foolproof process that will allow for tubing of skid without couplers and a preventative measure to ensure that the couplers are verified before weld process is authorized/initiated. (NCR)
• Have Long Lead Items better identified to ensure that the project doesn't suffer scheduling interruption.
• Improve communication with FMC project leadership (both ways) concerning status of project and status of material availability; shortages; progress; issues and concerns.
• Improve coordination between welding shop and final assembly of skids (personnel allocation to project activity)
