- Abstract
- The piping function is frequently inefficient. Previous research indicates that potential savings from improving the piping function are about $3.8 million for an average heavy industrial project costing $190 million. The CII Piping Function Research Team involved more than 100 industry experts to identify drivers of these problematic processes, to collect best practices, and to devlop solution tools for improving piping function efficiency. The major causes for this inefficiency pertain to engineering development rpocesses for (1) piping and instrumentation diagrams, (2) supplier data, and (3) packaged units.
