Agile Project Execution
Agile Project Execution
Agile Project Execution is Yokogawa’s methodology for executing all projects in a cost-efficient manner by removing waste. Removing waste results in improved efficiency but also applies to reduction of waiting time in a project, space optimization, etc.
Challenges for Customers
One of the key challenges customers face in projects is reducing customization.
Customization reduces ease of maintenance during the lifecycle as it increases the need for specialized training of operational personnel. Yokogawa's Functional Design Standards provide the basis of design in all projects, and maximize the utilization of standard functionality.
Our Solutions
With the release of the new CENTUM VP R6, a solution platform that exceeds the capabilities of conventional production control systems, customers can take full advantage of new features like N-IO (Network-I/O) providing decoupling of hardware and software and the new Automation Design Suite.
Yokogawa has been executing projects with a combination of delivery excellence and smart engineering. The functionality of the new release of CENTUM VP enables the convergence of all Yokogawa’s strengths, providing an exciting environment where innovative methods provide completely new ways of cost saving and value generation.
This can be visualized in the way project schedules can be shortened, either by starting later or possibly enabling an earlier startup.
Customer Benefits
Agile Project Execution methodology results in a cost-efficient execution method through the removal of unnecessary tasks (waste) and the earlier shipment of systems to the site by decoupling hardware from application engineering and testing.
The illustrated benefits of convergence of new functionalities of the AD Suite and FieldMate Validator, N-IO Hardware, and Agile Project Execution results in tangible benefits including waste reduction and increased efficiency in project execution through optimized design and planning.
Enabling Technology
To maintain its competitive edge, Yokogawa has developed the Agile Project Execution methodology.
This methodology maximizes the convergence of our vast expertise in project management (delivery excellence), the combination of our central engineering centers with our strong local engineering presence (smart engineering) and the latest advanced technologies applied in CENTUM VP R6.
