What are the main aspects of management for complete sets of equipment (packaged equipment)? What are the key tasks required in aspects such as design, procurement, construction and on-site technical service, as well as commissioning? Are there any relevant standards or regulations that can be referenced?

Generally, design institutes only specify the requirements, while the complete equipment suppliers are responsible for designing solutions that meet those requirements. The bid evaluation process is designed, with the purchasing entity participating jointly in the final selection. The arrival inspection must be thorough, especially for electrical and instrumentation-related materials and equipment. When signing a contract, it is essential to specify the qualifications of the on-site installation and commissioning personnel, as well as the number of service visits and the duration of those services; otherwise, disputes may arise and the required personnel may not be available in a timely manner.
Many points have already been mentioned by my friends on the second floor; I would like to add a few more for reference: 1. It is necessary to take into account all aspects related to spare parts for equipment testing, those needed over a period of two years, and those required for operational replacements. This includes factors such as procurement costs, lead times, the frequency of spare part replacements, and the production prospects of these spare parts (as some manufacturers may stop producing certain components after completing a single order). This will help avoid situations where spare parts are unavailable at critical moments. 2. Regarding the design, it is necessary to determine whether the manufacturer will handle the design or if a design company will be responsible for it If the design company is in charge, there needs to be more communication between the designers, purchasers, and the manufacturer; the scope of supplies provided by the manufacturer must be clearly defined to avoid shortages that could lead to disputes during construction. 3. The manufacturer’s on-site service contract should be clarified earlier. Once the equipment procurement contract is in place, if an agreement cannot be reached regarding the on-site service contract, it will be necessary to sign construction and labor contracts with other parties, which will have some negative effects from both a cost and construction management perspective.
