The entire project process
Thread Content
I often hear people say, “*** was involved in all aspects of the **project**...” But what exactly is the process or workflow involved in starting a new chemical project? I would appreciate your guidance. This post was last edited by laiqi on 2009-2-10 at 10:25.]
This depends on the identity of the speaker and the nature of the project. Taking a staff member from an EPC general contracting company as an example: 1. Concept stage: From the initial contact until the contract is formally signed and the first payment is received； 2. Planning phase: From the formal appointment of the project manager and the establishment of the project team to the development of the project plan ； 3. Execution phase: tasks such as design, procurement, construction, and commissioning ； 4. Closing phase: project settlement, project handover, project summary, etc. The above represents a fairly complete overview of the entire project process; aside from the project manager and their assistant or secretary, very few people are able to be involved throughout the whole process! It is often said that “participating in the entire process of a **project” usually means being involved in most of the work during the implementation phase only :)
The entire project lifecycle for the owner: the pre-design preparation phase, the design phase, the construction phase, the pre-commissioning preparation phase, and the warranty period.
Various stages or the entire process of a construction project: 1. Submit a project proposal based on long-term development plans and requirements. 2. Prepare a feasibility study report based on surveys, tests, research, and detailed technical and economic analyses. 3. Make decisions regarding the project based on the results of the consulting and evaluation processes. 4. Develop design documents based on the feasibility study report. 5. After the preliminary design is approved, carry out preparations before construction as well as the design of construction drawings. 6. Organize the construction work, and make preparations for commissioning the project once construction is complete, in line with the schedule. 7. Once the project is completed according to the approved design specifications and passes the inspection, it is put into operation. 8. After the project has been in operation for a period of time (usually one year), a post-project evaluation is conducted. Stages 1, 2, 3, 7, and 8 are primarily carried out by the project owner/constructor； 4 and 5 are mainly handled by the design unit ； In 6, the construction phase is led by the construction contractor, while the preparatory work prior to commissioning is handled by the owner.

Detailed breakdown of the 8 stages of a construction project: 1. The project decision-making stage mainly involves preparing a project proposal, drafting a project feasibility study report, and submitting the project for approval or registration in accordance with relevant regulations. 2. The project construction phase includes engineering design (preliminary design and construction drawings; for large-scale or complex projects, a technical design stage may be added as needed), preparation for construction (which entails land acquisition and demolition, ensuring that all necessary infrastructure is in place, organizing bidding processes to select supervisors, contractors, and material suppliers, etc., as well as handling related procedures and obtaining construction permits), actual construction and installation, and preparation for operation. 3. The project handover phase involves completion inspection (including preparations for such inspections and the preparation of final accounts), as well as post-project evaluation (including post-implementation evaluation and evaluation of the entire process). For reference only!
From the initiation to the completion of a project, in accordance with the ISO9001:2000 project management process, the general steps are as follows: 1. Product proposal report 2. Product feasibility analysis report 3. Preliminary design 4. Detailed hardware design 5. Detailed software design 6. Detailed structural design 7. Prototype production 8. Software self-testing 9. Test plan and testing 10. Creation of production documents 11. Document archiving 12. Pilot production in small batches 13. Mass production 14. Final document archiving
Well, not bad. It is more in line with the actual situation
The work involved throughout the entire project process generally includes: 1. Preparing a project proposal based on the company’s current situation, development plans, and research findings regarding the project； II. Analysis of the project proposal, and on this basis, preparation of a feasibility study report ； III. Conduct safety assessments and environmental impact assessments for the engineering project, and complete the project approval process ； IV. Prepare a preliminary design report based on the approved feasibility study report ； V. Carry out construction drawing design based on the approved preliminary design ； VI. Organize construction in accordance with the construction drawings, control the construction schedule, and ensure construction quality ； VII. After the construction is completed, conduct joint commissioning as required ； VIII. Once the trial production is approved, it will enter full operation and be put into use.
International practice: Screening – Feasibility study – FEED – EPC – Commissioning – Operation
1. Feasibility study (conducted by the enterprise or an entrusted intermediary agency)
2. Site selection for the project (the enterprise applies to the planning or construction department for a site selection approval letter and a land use planning permit)
