One Coordinated View of Delivery.

Large capital programs require alignment across design, procurement, construction, systems integration and turnover. Mattis helps connect these interfaces into a coherent integrated master schedule.

The challenge

Each package can be on schedule while the program is late.

When design, procurement and several contractors each keep their own schedule, the hand-offs between them become the risk. A delay in one package's deliverable can quietly push another package's start, and no single schedule shows it. Leadership ends up reconciling different reports instead of managing the program.

Signals you need this

  • Contractor schedules use different coding, calendars and milestone names
  • Hand-off dates between packages are agreed by email, not in logic
  • Program reports are assembled by hand from several schedules
  • Systems integration and turnover are not linked to the construction packages
  • Leadership gets different answers about the same milestone
Our approach

Connecting the interfaces

SVC-04 · Method
  1. 01

    Map the milestones

    Define the program milestone framework and the owner, contractual and operational milestones it must protect.

  2. 02

    Identify the interfaces

    Map every hand-off between design, procurement, packages, systems and turnover.

  3. 03

    Set the standards

    Coding structures, calendars, naming and reporting standards that every contributor follows.

  4. 04

    Integrate the schedules

    Build or consolidate the integrated master schedule with interface logic between packages.

  5. 05

    Govern and report

    Review interface risk across packages and report a single program view.

Interactive · Interface map

See every hand-off between packages.

Click a package to trace the interfaces that connect it to the rest of the program. This example is a data center program.

FAQ

Questions about this service.

Can't find your question? Ask us directly →

Do contractors have to change their software?

Not necessarily. We define the standards for coding, milestones and data exchange so schedules from different contributors can be integrated reliably.

Is this only for very large programs?

It suits any project with several contractors, phases or work packages whose interfaces drive completion.

Who owns the integrated schedule?

Usually the owner or the program manager. We can maintain it or help the client's team do so.
