Advanced Work Packaging Digital Threads to Enable Supply Chain Visibility on Capital Projects, Version 1.1

The results of this project provide a systematic approach to communicate and visualize Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) “digital threads” to stakeholders across a capital project supply chain. This project has developed the following research deliverables:

• A map of digital threads associated with supply chain applications
• A proof-of-concept Excel-based tool for facilitating information sharing across the supply chain, the Material Responsibility Matrix (MRM)
• An MRM user manual (provided as Chapter 4) that supports using the tool

These research deliverables enable companies to increase supply chain visibility and incorporate stakeholders into effective supply chain decision-making. More generally, the RT-TC-03 research deliverables will promote the use of AWP through increased accessibility to stakeholders. They encourage and facilitate information sharing across a capital project supply chain and promote the use of AWP “digital threads” concepts to better visualize supply chain elements.
