• The higher the ambiguity, the higher the cost and risk to use information

Bechtel is an “Information Factory”
• Information is the lifeblood of our operation
• A significant influence on the success of our projects is dependent on how we handle, manage, and understand information and information Competency
• A change in how we “do” information is where a significant opportunity lies that will improve our performance and delivered quality
7 10/12/2011 Information Management
Introducing the Computer • Processing:
– People are very smart but are also slow
– Computers are very fast but are also dumb
• Applications are controlled environments where the “smarts” are embedded and operated by the speed of computers
– Productivity and quality improvement is gained
• In our business, the greater portion of our information lies outside an application
– This is where the opportunity lies

Information Competency • Do we know what Information Competency is?
– Information principles
– Best practices
– An understanding of how it directly correlates to
operating costs
• Information Competency is not a technology
thing
• Information Competency is a new discipline that
must be incorporated into the business

Information Competency Example:

• A valve identifier
– Must uniquely identify a valve
– When computer processing a traditional identifier,
ambiguity can contribute to information loss
- Can be interpreted by people
- Cannot be interpreted by people

IM has a direct benefit to EPC execution
Full EPC IM greatly reduces level of effort for information handover and positions us for LCIM opportunity

IT Organization
Information Management
• An IM organization should be a horizontal organization under the functions with a prominent interface into the IT organization
– IM is business driven not technology driven
