Abstract

Instrumentation and control projects entail an upgrade or refurbishment of a portion of the current process control system. The changes introduced present integration challenges to people, the plant and operating guidelines and procedures. The successful implementation of these time sensitive projects depends on factors such as change management effectiveness, stakeholder investment and competency of the project team. Project success factors identified across the lifecycle of the project enables the organization to filter down on challenges and risks contained within each project phase. The research identifies critical success factors specific to instrumentation and control projects within the South African power industry. The framework is developed through the descriptive analysis of feedback received from key stakeholders within the organization.
