Successful project execution begins with sales and ends with customer validation, following a stage gate process where each phase builds on the last. Poor execution or undefined resources, estimates, and processes upfront can lead to delays and cost overruns. Key factors include early sales engagement to define scope, accurate quotes, detailed reviews, and simulations. The Project Execution Control System and the Lincoln Business System ensure alignment, tracking, and consistent project management across LEA sites. Proactive resource planning and robust commissioning plans are critical for smooth execution and improved outcomes.
