  1. CII Research Team 211 Effective Use of the Global Engineering Work Force James B. Mynaugh Rohm and Haas Company

  2. 2003 Engineering Graduates Source: US Census Bureau/NASSCOM Global Engineering Work Force Wages/benefits costs for recent engineering grads: • U.S.A.: $ 70,000 • Hungary: $ 25,690 • China: $ 15,120 • Russia: $ 14,420 • India: $ 13,580 Source ASEE Prism

  3. Project Goal To develop a framework to address the comprehensive issues involved in successful Global Virtual Engineering Teams through identifying best practices in: • Personnel, • Work processes, • Tools, and technologies.

  4. Definition • A Global Virtual Engineering Team (GVET) is a group of geographically dispersed engineers that needs to overcome: • Space and Time issues, • Function and Organizational barriers, and • National, and Cultural differences

  5. Thank you to Anheuser-Busch Studios Director: Jim Duff Scriptwriter: Jody Lambert Coordinator: Todd White Western Team: Sandie Hartwick Amy Lunn Adam Jost Joe Dollar Eastern Team: Rakhi Gupta Radhika Kamath Nhon Dang Speedy Warner

  6. Use of Global Engineering Teams All Projects 6 % Not Using 17 % On First Project 15 % On Many Projects 62 % Survey Results: CII Members

  7. Future of Global Engineering Teams Maintain 19 % Increase 81 % Survey Results: CII Members

  8. Top-Rated Driving Forces • Reduce engineering cost • Competition • Global (or local) customers • Locate services close to project location • Reduce engineering schedule Survey Results: CII Members

  9. Perceived Impact of GVET Survey Results: CII Members

  10. Case Study Results Typical Engineering Cost on Projects >$5 million = 16.9% Total savings (5 projects) was > $20 million or roughly 30%.

  11. Top-Rated Failure Factors • Poor communication, lack of face-to-face meetings. • Lack of understanding of local work practices, cultural differences, and/or language issues. • Lack of management involvement & experienced leadership. • Slow response to change. • Incompatible or poor technology support. Survey Results: CII Members

  12. SOLUTION ?? GVET Execution Planner

  13. GVET Execution Planner • Software application • Six primary categories: • Scope definition • Communication • Project organization • Technology • Project controls • Quality assurance

  14. GVET Execution Planner SNAPSHOT

  15. Workshop • Join us for: - Demo of GVET Execution Planner - Additional research findings - Live discussion with virtual team members • Room: Grand Ballroom
