3 June 9 June 11, 2015 Madisn, Wiscnsin 2015 Industry Frum Sessins Sessin 1: Transfrmative Prcesses t Assure Prject Success Case Studies When managing a capital prject, the prject manager understands the need fr prtecting prject delivery frm cst and time verruns. Cst cntingencies are ften used t create a prtective prvisin against uncertainties r Murphy s Law-type verruns. But when it cmes t time verruns, a cmmn practice is t address it by prtecting duratin estimates at the task-level. In many cases the cst cntingencies als serve as the means fr cntaining recgnizable time verruns. Despite this genuine effrt n the part f prject management prfessinals t manage prject delivery risk, they are ften cmpletely blindsided by a stealthy phenmenn called the effects f Parkinsn s Law. It is very elusive t bserve, let alne measure r cntrl. In this educatinal and entertaining presentatin the undesirable effects f Parkinsn s Law will be identified and illustrated. We will learn hw t measure, cntrl and ultimately leverage this phenmenn t prtect prject delivery frm time verruns. Case studies will demnstrate the drawbacks f traditinal PM practices that inadvertently fail, despite the prject management prfessinal s best intentins t succeed. Finally, thrugh case examples we will be lead thrugh an applied slutin (that weaves thrugh PMBOK, Critical Chain PM and Lean Thinking Prcesses) t quantify results. Sessin 2: Operatinal Readiness Planning Operatinal readiness is the prcess f preparing the management structure and supprting rganizatin f an asset under cnstructin such that at the pint f delivery/handver, yu are fully ready t assume wnership and functinal perfrmance f the asset. Furthermre, peratinal readiness means that the facility is prepared t perfrm the safe and efficient peratin in a sustainable manner. This sessin will discuss critical factrs required t achieve peratinal readiness including: Definitin f peratinal readiness criteria Defining acceptance criteria Measuring readiness prgress Linking Frnt End Planning t handver (Case Study) Transitin frm prject executin team t peratins team Achieving custmer (test engineer) buy-in Impacts f autmatin Tls t achieve readiness

4 June 9 June 11, 2015 Madisn, Wiscnsin Sessin 3: Test Cell Utilizatin/Ttal Cst f Ownership The biggest cst impact f wning and perating a technical center is maximizing the utilizatin f the test facility. Optimizing perating csts requires the definitin and dcumentatin f custmer requirements, business unit and test prgram gals, and a clear understanding f peratinal csts. Presented by managers and integratrs frm acrss the transprtatin market, this discussin will define utilizatin strategy, present a prcess t evaluate and imprve test peratinal effectiveness, intrduce a prcess t ptimize the test prcess frm wrk rder thrugh test setup and executin t data acquisitin and data management, discuss labr impacts, and review the challenges f accelerated life testing as an example. Key cmpnents f this sessin include: Definitin f Key Perfrmance Indicatrs (KPIs) Aligning custmer requirements with test facility utput Measurements t supprt utilizatin strategy Metrics ROI Hw t measure and charge csts f persnnel, test time, retest Leveraging capital investment as a % f verall cst f wnership Autmatin and technlgy impacts Csts f quality data and assessing data validity Sustainability impact n facility peratins Test cell utilizatin strategies Ttal Test Optimizatin Virtual engine install Accelerated/calibrated life testing

5 Sessin 4: D3 - It s all abut the Data June 9 June 11, 2015 Madisn, Wiscnsin Data-driven decisin making (D3) is an apprach t management that values decisins that are validated with verifiable data. This is the reasn that technical centers exist. This tpic will center n the challenges f cllecting quality, repeatable and timely data in a cmpetitive envirnment including: Defining and meeting yur custmers expectatins Defining data quality Defining data analysis Mining data fr hidden trends including data pints/hr., mst prductive time f day/custmers/peratrs/cells Applying lessns learned frm data analysis Data management Reducing measurement variability Efficient and rbust validatin Sessin 5: Planning & Operating a Glbal Test Facility The successful planning and perating f a Research & Develpment facility t supprt glbal rganizatins requires a strategic understanding f the asset gals and aligning and validating the prcesses required t achieve these gals. This discussin will fcus n key impacts t these challenges including: Planning prcess t align business & technical drivers Defining test prtcls t achieve desired results Selecting the apprpriate technlgy Glbal R&D impact f slving prblems fr lcal markets Maximizing labr effectiveness Flexibility with a glbal team Accunting fr reginal variances

6 Sessin 6: Test Cell f the Future June 9 June 11, 2015 Madisn, Wiscnsin New prduct develpment and advancements in testing technlgy, in cmbinatin with glbal platfrm requirements and asset management ptimizatin cntinue t have significant impact n the design and peratin f test cells. Technlgy advancements have allwed peratrs and engineers t execute and trublesht remtely; hwever, testing still remains a physical prcess that requires persnal interactin with the Device Under Test. At the same time, HSE remains a tp pririty f all rganizatins. Hw d yu plan fr the test cell f the future? In this sessin, ur panelists will discuss: Hw des ne define the future? Infrastructure vs. Device Under Test planning Flexible Facility/Systems Mdularity/Diversity f Cnfiguratins Standardizatin / utilizatin/ptimizatin/autmatin Data cllectin & management Budget develpment Understanding yur custmers needs and translating them int facility requirements Creating real-wrld simulatin and test envirnments Virtual prduct/systems design and mdeling Integrating simulatin int the test cell Emerging test technlgies and their impact: DAQ, Mechanical, Structural Future prfing fr emerging pwertrain technlgies Accelerated prduct develpment times and shift t testing earlier in the cycle Safety Using technlgy t create a safe wrk place Zer entrance Safety measure effectiveness Operatr access t dangerus test spaces rtating equipment, cmbustibles, climatic areas Balancing cde requirements/best in class/ cst f safety Retrfitting fr alternative fuels (my space wasn t designed with that in mind!)
