Forum Session: A capital project planning process that optimizes total cost of ownership results

Optimize capital project outcomes for lowest TCO by using this lean decision-making process to systematically apply team-based life-cycle planning to all the variables at the outset of project development. Session leaders detail how this planning process works to integrate multiple, complex relationships between core business and operational, financial, and marketplace forces and constraints. They use a major capital project example to demonstrate specific outcomes and the impact on processes of project team thinking, communications, consensus building, assessment and control of risk, budget development, selection of project components, and the management of outcomes.
