• Project Controls Improvement

Precision for High-Stakes Projects
In industries like nuclear energy, where margins are razor-thin and regulatory scrutiny is relentless, fragmented systems and misaligned stakeholders amplify risks. Over 65% of capital projects in energy face cost overruns (McKinsey, 2022), driven by poor baseline alignment, reactive tracking, and siloed teams. Flow Performance’s Project Controls Improvement services eliminate these pain points by unifying stakeholders, data, and workflows. By integrating decades of nuclear operations expertise with Semantic Models, AI-driven analytics, and a vendor-plant integrated operating system, we transform ambiguity into accountability. Our approach tackles critical gaps—ineffective planning, poor Rules of Credit, and fragmented systems—while linking seamlessly with Flow’s Construction Site Support, Reporting and AI solutions.

From Ambiguity to Actionable Clarity

  • Challenge: 40% of projects fail due to poor baseline alignment (PMI, 2023). Inconsistent scope definitions and siloed planning lead to rework.
  • Solution: Define clear scope, schedules, and budgets through interactive planning workshops and established standards. Align stakeholders early, embed governance, and integrate with necessary EAM and other technology tools.
  • Benefits: Scope clarity, eliminated ambiguity, enhanced execution control and ease of execution.

Real-Time Visibility, Proactive Corrections

  • Challenge: 32% of nuclear projects cite poor Rules of Credit (ROC) as a root cause of delays (DOE, 2021). Manual tracking creates lagging indicators.
  • Solution: Standardize ROC with industry experts, automate progress metrics via AI-driven dashboards, and flag variances in real time.
  • Benefits: Improved EVM accuracy, real-time project health insights, proactive risk mitigation.

One System, One Source of Truth

  • Challenge: Fragmented tools between vendors, plants, and projects cause 28% efficiency losses (Deloitte, 2023).
  • Solution: Unify stakeholders on Flow’s Integrated Operating System, ensuring vendors, plant teams, and PMs use the same reports, tracking, and Rules of Credit.
  • Benefits: Cross-functional alignment, streamlined compliance, and accelerated decision-making.

Future-Proofing Projects with AI

  • Challenge: 50% of safety violations in nuclear projects stem from reactive compliance practices (IAEA, 2022).
  • Solution: Leverage AI to forecast risks (e.g., budget overruns, safety gaps) and automate compliance reporting against evolving standards.
  • Benefits: Dynamic adaptation to regulatory changes, minimized delays.
