Anyone in the Turnaround Maintenance planning game knows that a) accurate & b) consistent, task estimation is a challenge. This is then further complicated when calculating the duration, effort & cost of 10000’s of activities of a major capital project – a daunting prospect! From decades of experience, we have seen how wildly activity estimates can range, even amongst the most experienced of planners and estimators. This is due to the immense complexity and scale of capital projects, and a little known phenomenon called anchoring. In this blog we look at how norms can increase the accuracy of our estimation and refine your estimates to achieve a plus or minus accuracy of 10%.
