Читать книгу Practical Risk Management for EPC / Design-Build Projects - Walter A. Salmon - Страница 40

If the Engineering Department does not conduct the Technical Bid Evaluations (TBEs) in a timely manner, then there is a risk that the deadline for the placement of a critical Purchase Order may be missed. It would be best if the Procurement Department's personnel continually followed up on the status of all TBEs but, since most Contractors nowadays operate with minimal staffing, it is very possible that the non-arrival of an important TBE will not be spotted until it has become a highly critical issue. The Engineering Department's staff will also be under pressure to complete the engineering design work and, sometimes, the TBEs are seen as a distraction to the design activities. In addition to that, not all Engineers understand the necessity for adherence to agreed activity time-frames and, therefore, constantly need to be chased in order to get their outputs delivered on time.
