Secondary MTO:
Why is it done?
The primary reason for the Secondary MTO is to update quantities for the issue of
the actual Purchase orders for piping material. A second reason is to update the
project estimate.
When is it done?
The Secondary MTO can only be done when there is significant progress
completed on the 3D design model (or other electronic design method). However it
must be done early enough to insure that the procurement (purchase and delivery)
of the piping material to the field will fit the overall project schedule.
Who does it?
The Material Control Group.
How is it done?
The Material Control Group would access the electronic data base and download
all the material available at that time. Some factoring would be done by the Material
Control Group and the Piping Design Leads to allow for work not done yet.
Final MTO
Why is it done?
The final MTO is done first to identify any item added late in the project or
anything that was missed on the Preliminary or Secondary MTOs. The second
reason for the Final MTO is to get a fix on the final job costs.
When is it done?
The Final MTO is done when the last Isometric has been issued.
Who does it?
The Material Control Group.
How is it done?
The Material Control Group would access the electronic data base and download
all the material. Any differences between the Final MTO and the Secondary MTO
would be identified. Purchase orders would be issued for the updated quantities.
Please remember this is only how it was done where I was. Use it as a guide but
please do not be misled that this is the only way an MTO can be done.
