n ® o i t SmartPlant u l o S EntErPriSE Information Management industry challenges Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Companies (EPCs) At both ends of the upstream/downstream owner operator spectrum, EPCs face taxing challenges. Through end-to-end contracts, EPCs can take advantage of total life-cycle integration and information manage- ment strategies without the concerns normally associated with short duration projects. However, with this increased freedom comes the challenge of proper infrastructure selection and deployment to meet this window of opportunity. For “business-as-usual” expansion, refurbishment, and automation projects, the benefits of integrated information management must be scalable to meet the needs of micro- and multi-threaded projects, in addition to mega-projects. 1 owner operators (o/os) Increasing fluctuation in commodity prices brought on by increased global demand against constrained production capacity will have a number of impacts on owner operators. Upstream supply companies release capital for end-to-end rapid development construction projects for new or expanded facili- ties to increase supply-side feedstock. With rapid deployment, controlled handover and information control become even more critical if delays and overruns are to be avoided. For downstream processing companies, costly feedstock drives the need to contain cost at every conceivable opportunity to maintain competitiveness. With a headcount being steadily reduced by retire- ment, natural attrition, outsourcing, downsizing, or automation, the goals to retain knowledge while increasing productivity and safety are diametrically opposed without good information management for decision support.
