We are delayed in launching the new CCP format until late April/early May. Until then, we are accepting registrations with the technical paper. If you wish to take the CCP in the new format with the in-exam memo, you will have to wait until the launch.

I am happy to answer any other questions you may have. Please feel free to email me at vsmith@aacei.org.

Warm regards,
Valerie

Next time you are in Indonesia, take the time to connect with our company. We run about 4 -6 AACE training courses a year, and I suspect we are one of the largest COMPETENCY DEVELOPMENT trainers (as opposed to “Cram for the Exam” teachers) as we send about 60-70 people a year.

]]> Comment on Part 1 – Six Elements of Project Controls; The Basics by Inaki Uribe https://source.aacei.org/2021/08/31/part-1-six-elements-of-project-controls-the-basics/#comment-896 Wed, 21 Feb 2024 23:12:46 +0000 https://source.aacei.org/?p=3998#comment-896 Congratulations. This 6 elements of Project Controls are totally applicable nowdays. The 6 elements can be simplified in 4 PDCA (Plan, Do, Study, Act) or Deming wheel, Continuous Improvement cycle is a continuous loop of planning, doing, checking (or studying), and acting.

Plan–do–check–act is associated with W. Edwards Deming, who is considered by many to be the father of modern quality control; however, he used PDSA (Plan-Do-Study-Act) and referred to it as the “Shewhart cycle”. Later in Deming’s career, he modified PDCA to “Plan, Do, Study, Act” (PDSA) because he felt that “check” emphasized inspection over analysis. The PDSA cycle was used to create the model of know-how transfer process, and other models.

The concept of PDCA is based on the scientific method, as developed from the work of Francis Bacon (Novum Organum, 1620). The scientific method can be written as “hypothesis–experiment–evaluation” or as “plan–do–check”. Walter A. Shewhart described manufacture under “control”—under statistical control—as a three-step process of specification, production, and inspection.
