Software Applications

IPA research has shown that Front-End Loading (FEL), or project definition, is one of the most significant drivers of project success. However, many organizations do not employ an effective project definition work process in a consistent manner, which degrades project outcomes and hurts the site’s return on capital. Powered by IPA’s FEL Index, project teams use the FEL Toolbox software as a guide throughout the project definition process and gatekeepers use it to accurately assess a project’s readiness for execution.

Overestimating is one of the key barriers to capital effectiveness for site and sustaining capital (SSC) projects, which typically lack sufficient owner cost engineering and estimating resources and data to effectively support their portfolios. The Site Portfolio Tool fills this void by providing a robust kit of cost and schedule competitiveness and predictability KPIs at the corporate, site, and project levels. This web-based software enables all stakeholders to quickly assess capital project performance levels in real time, analyze trends, and generate insights to make more informed decisions.
