• Assignment started with providing services solely for the five Equipment groups or Document Control; Later the Engineering group was added to my responsibilities.

• Created the work process flow maps directly with the UOP manager(s) for UOP Equipment that did not have a defined work process of those groups and then implemented them.

• Identified workarounds and solutions within SmartPlant Foundation, which increased overall efficiency for Document Control manhours for Equipment by as much as 50%.

• Ensured that the team met the 24-hour turnaround time that was required for Document Transmittals.

• Provided administrative rights for the SmartPlant Foundation and worked together with the UOP Systems Engineer to make changes in the software to make it more user-friendly. By providing more rights to Document Control Team members, this eliminated bottlenecking of work, which the team had to then rely on the Administrator to assist.

• Reduced the amount of Hard Coding within the program by creating function calls that were already part of the system that UOP was not aware of.

• Utilized Document Loaders as a Mandatory way to input information into the system, as opposed to one-by-one, as was done previously.

• Created the ability for the Document Control team to be able to make deletions and necessary changes.

• Eliminated a work process step for Modular that decreased the amount of time and data storage within the system therefore allowing time to process more transmittals.

• Ended UOP forced revisioning and created a “free form” revision field to be followed on all UOP Modular transmittals which allows any revision to show while the system still kept track of all “UOP Revision” copies. Previously documents that required a forced revision scheme change had to wait for an administrator and each individual file had to be coded for the change. Free form revision allowed for accuracy for drawings, as well as overall efficiency to the projects.

• Reduced manhours of up to 50% on Modular Projects due to the improvements and changes that I had implemented with the team.

• Changed the base Document Control manhour estimates for Hydrogen Technologies projects to reflect accurate Document Control hours that were required to execute the project based on client specification.

• Updated policies and procedures to follow the electronic work process.

• Restructured network drives for projects to make information easier to identify.

• Changed UOP’s 111 work process to be fully executed out of UOP Engineering (Ambitech) Document Release Control.

• Created a transition plan for UOP’s archived data to be moved from an outside Supplier to be housed within their own ProjectWise System, which enabled UOP to access and search their own information without waiting for an outside supplier to provide it to them.

• Provided UOP emergency support for Schedule A releases to the client when needed during non-business hours.

• Created a trusting relationship with UOP that allowed for more growth within my team’s services which allowed scope outside of Document Control.
