📝 Interface Schedule: Development

Developing an Interface Schedule requires the LNG plant owner's project team to identify all critical interfaces between stakeholders, such as EPC contractors, technology licensors, & external stakeholders. #LNG #ProjectManagement 2/13

📚 As a minimum, an interface schedule should have these four items included:

1. Deliverables
2. Milestones
3. Deadlines
4. Dependencies

The interface schedule needs to be developed separately from the LNG project schedule. #LNG #ProjectManagement 3/13

📦 Deliverables: Deliverables are tangible outputs tied to an interface, such as documents, drawings, or equipment.

Ensuring their timely delivery & quality is key to smooth project execution.

#LNG #ProjectManagement 4/13

🚩 Milestones: Milestones mark significant achievements in the interface lifecycle, e.g., design completion, equipment installation.

They serve as progress indicators & enable better project control. #LNG #ProjectManagement 5/13

⏰ Deadlines: Deadlines represent the target completion dates for milestones or deliverables.

Meeting these deadlines is crucial to avoid delays, cost overruns, & overall project risks. #LNG #ProjectManagement 6/13

🔗 Dependencies: Dependencies describe the relationships between different interfaces or project activities, e.g., "A must finish before B can start."

Managing dependencies helps ensure a well-coordinated project. #LNG #projectmanagement 7/13

📚 Here's a practical example of an Interface Schedule of a few items focusing on the basis of LNG liquefaction plant design:

📝 Deliverables:
1.1. Technology selection report 📊
1.2. Environmental impact assessment (EIA) 🌿
1.3. Front-end engineering design (FEED) 📐 8/13

🚩 Milestones:
2.1. Technology selection 🔍
2.2. EIA approval ✅
2.3. FEED completion 🎯 9/13

⏰ Deadlines:
3.1. Technology selection: 2023-04-23 ⌛
3.2. EIA approval: 2023-06-25 ⌛
3.3. FEED completion: 2024-01-20 ⌛ 10/13

🔗 Dependencies:
4.1. Technology selection depends on evaluating licensors' proposals 🧐
4.2. EIA approval is dependent on regulatory review 🏛️
4.3. FEED completion depends on technology selection and EIA approval 🔄

A well-structured Interface Schedule is vital for a LNG project.

By clearly defining deliverables, milestones, deadlines, and dependencies, project teams can efficiently close interfaces in time to minimize cost overruns & avoid schedule delays. 🚀🌐
