Abstract

Background Beca is an engineering consulting company that provides professional services in the Asia Pacific region. One of the segments that Beca works within is the industrial sector. Within this segment, Beca has a joint-venture with Wood PLC, a global engineering company. This joint-venture, named Wood Beca, is focused on providing solutions for pulp and paper, wood products and bioprocess industries in New Zealand and Australia. In April of 2019, Wood Beca was commissioned by one of its paper and pulp clients for the management and design engineering of a programme containing nine projects. This programme aims to improve the wastewater treatment system in one of their paper mills. Project Scope The scope of this project was to develop the detailed schedules for this programme of projects, including resource allocation if applicable. After the development of the schedules, a routine of update and control was implemented. Then, a reporting system was developed to regularly inform the project team about the programme performance.
