Abstract
EPC contractors have made continuous efforts to develop integrated project execution methods to improve the performance of industrial plant project. In particular, the concept of Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) has been recently presented by readjusting the existing "Work Packaging" concept as part of the integrated project execution method from the project life-cycle perspective. However, Korean EPC contractors are still unfamiliar with the AWP implementation. Thus, this study aims to identify the organizational competency factor for effective implementation of AWP. For this purpose, first, this study identified the expected risks in AWP project and the 29 organizational competency factors to manage risks. Second, five experts verified the suitability of factors and supplemented the factors. Finally, 37 factors were identified as organizational competency factors for implementing AWP.
