15. 31 March 2004 D\Floating production Cooperative Forum 14 \\www.aberdeenmaritime.com Aberdeen Maritime Consultants ltd. TYPICAL KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER LAST BUILD ONGOING PRODUCTION OPERATIONS BUILD 2 YEARS PRODUCTION OPERATIONS : 15 YEARS EARLIEST START UP DATE IS PROJECT KING AREA 1 AREA 2 START UP DATE ! SCHEDULE PRESSURE INHIBITS LEARNING HOWEVER SCHEDULE PRESSURE IMPROVES VALUE IT IS GOOD! GATHER LESSONS & INPUT WHEN PRESSURE IS LOWER

IMPROVED KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER LAST BUILD ONGOING PRODUCTION OPERATIONS BUILD 2 YEARS PRODUCTION OPERATIONS : 15 YEARS SEPARATE LESSONS INTO BUILD SPECIFICATION PROJECT OTHER BUILD OTHER PRODUCTION OPERATIONS & INDUSTRIES LESSONS INTO OPERATING & MAINTENANCE TECHNIQUES BETTER TAKEN OUT OF PROJECT TIMESCALE! / PARTLY OUTSOURCED? ALSO EXCHANGES DATA WITH OTHER OPERATORS AND INDUSTRIES

17. 31 March 2004 D\Floating production Cooperative Forum 16 \\www.aberdeenmaritime.com Aberdeen Maritime Consultants ltd. REASON FOR FPCF IF A COMPANY CANNOT OR WILL NOT INVEST IN DOING THIS IN HOUSE THEN……. IF IT MAKES ECONOMIC SENSE TO STIFLE LONG TERM FEED BACK DURING THE BUILD PHASE TO ENSURE MEETING START UP DATE, THEN……. IT CERTAINLY MAKES ECONOMIC SENSE TO GATHER LESSONS OFFLINE & ANTICIPATE PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED BY OTHERS. YOU HAVENT IMPLEMENTED ANY LESSON UNTIL IT IS PUT INTO A BUILD SPECIFICATION OR A MAINTENANCE / OPERATING ROUTINE. EVEN THEN – ONLY WHEN THE YARD ACTUALLY DOES IT! IT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO JOIN WITH OTHER COMPANIES AND USE A CONSULTANCY PROVIDED THAT THE SERVICE PROVIDER GENERATES INPUTS THAT CAN BE PASTED STRAIGHT INTO A BUILD SPECIFICATION, MAINTENANCE ROUTINE OR OPERATING PROCEDURE.
