The Module Team and Execution Plan Differences
Michael Kluck, Jin Ouk Choi · 2023
This chapter explores who is accountable for all the newly acquired project responsibilities, activities, and goals and examines the difference between the stick-built project execution and the modular project execution philosophies. The best approach to managing a modular project is to set up a module team. The construction group lead needs to understand the ramifications of the module schedule and its inherent inflexibility compared to the typical and historical stick-built execution plan. The construction group lead needs to follow a more collaborative approach between construction and engineering where each group must rely on the other for communication and feedback. Execution Plan Differences begin impacting the project as soon as the project has been identified and continue through EPC with most of the major impacts in selection and basic design. Project management needs to understand enough about the module execution to be able to address how deviations might impact the overall project.
