What Is Advanced Work Packaging?
The Definition

Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) is a project framework to divide project scope


into manageable portions of work for planning and execution, in order to achieve
improved productivity and increased predictability. AWP incorporates agile and
lean construction methodologies - empowered through automation technology - to
optimize capital project delivery across the entire asset lifecycle.
