Presenter: Anders Hummer, ICC Inc., St. Louis, MO
Since the early days of industrial brewing operations brewers
have been faced with the challenges of converting their visions
of capital projects into successful project completion. This
is relevant for both expansion and replacement projects and
also is relevant for small breweries to large mega plants. The
challenge is multi-functional, and the variables are complex,
such as in-house capability, previous project experience,
project time versus cost, and relationship to third-party
stakeholders, but also carry a great amount of subjective belief.
The presentation will elaborate on a comparative analysis of
various project execution methodologies and provide pros and
cons for various scenarios. The presentation will also draw
upon a global network of brewery capital project specialists
in order to add a cultural element to the analysis from the
five main continents where capital projects take place. The
presentation will not make any specific recommendation but
will bring audience members into a position where they can
decide what will make sense for their individual needs. Finally,
comparative analysis will show an academic approach to how
the right methodology can be described as a function of internal
competence and number of project units.
