Abstract
To achieve world-class performance, major capital projects
must successfully implement Operational Excellence (OE): the
systematic management of safety, health, environment,
reliability, and efficiency. When compared to operations,
implementation of OE in capital projects provides unique
challenges because it will vary depending upon the project
phase (e.g., design, construction, etc.). A special tool, the OE
Roadmap, was developed to assist projects in addressing these
implementation challenges.
Introduction
Chevron developed and implemented a tool designed
specifically to address implementing Operational Excellence
(OE) in major capital projects. The tool, known as the OE
Roadmap for Projects (Roadmap), is a software application.
The design of the Roadmap was leveraged off of existing tools
and lessons learned from various Chevron International
Exploration and Production business units such as
Nigeria/Mid-Africa. The Roadmap is accessible from the
Chevron intranet and has a web-based user interface supported
by a centralized database.
Project personnel that use the Roadmap are able to perform
various functions such as:
Customize and plan OE activities depending on their
project phase
Assign OE activities to other project team members
Document OE decisions and action items
Search the database for similar projects or related
topics
Access OE examples from other projects and also
tools and references to assist them in performing OE
activities

Roadmap Development
In 2003, CIEP embarked on an effort to more effectively
implement OE in its capital projects. The primary focus of this
effort was the development of a software application that
could be used by all projects in planning and organizing their
approach to OE.
CIEP teamed with the Chevron technical services company
named Project Resources Company (PRC) to develop the OE
Roadmap. PRC provides project management services and is
involved in nearly every Chevron major capital project.
Additionally, the development team consisted of
representatives from CIEP capital projects and other Chevron
technical services companies, including information
technology (IT).
The team first convened in August 2003 but did not
receive full endorsement to proceed until January 2004. The
Roadmap was successfully completed and launched in April
2005. Total IT costs, including developers, architects, and
project manager were $315,000. The team leveraged
extensively off of the previous experience and tools developed
by other business units such as Nigeria/Mid-Africa.
As part of the software development project, the team
implemented numerous best practices including extensive
stakeholder engagement, beta testing in the business units, and
pilot testing with select users.
