Regardless of market conditions, competition, and other factors, the basic stance of the Project Team is to pursue the lowest possible cost and the
shortest delivery time. The benefits of the environment are inherently the company's share. However, without knowing that the environment will last
for a long time, there is a tendency for the axis of the basic stance to fluctuate. When the environment changes dramatically, this fluctuation in the

changes are recognized, make calibrating the axis of the person in charge (including yourself) one of the important issues for directing proposal
work.
Needless to say, commercially relevant information is very important for the Proposal Manager.
As for documents, there is "Proposal Strategy Part I", but it is often not possible to document, so to hear sufficiently from sales person in charge.
Of the Commercial Policies, participate in policy making, particularly with respect to contract provisions, and lead the discussion from a practical
point of view (because the lowest cost, most effective risk measure is obtaining favourable contract terms at any time). Leave it to professionals in

Schedule control of the estimate work is more hard than 0-JOB. Well discuss with key persons and issue before the Kick-off Meeting.
Costs for the proposal work are charged to the 0-JOB after award in JGC case. Also pay attention to whether there is a common understanding
and how much mutual accountability is pursued with regard to costs when there are other companies in collaboration.

Example: Timing and purpose of issuing information exchanged between other companies in the collaboration
Example: Joint review with other companies in collaboration and the timing of the event
Example: Milestones (if any) for phase control of milestones for miscellaneous estimation works
3. Budget
Example: Differences in the work content of other estimation projects referred to (e.g. including Pre-Award Work or not, degree of ITTs'

Example: Evaluating the validity of the results of hearings from persons in charge and setting targets
Example: Necessity of JOB CODE users restriction
Example: Alignment with the latest internal organizational structure
While the scope of work in proposal work with other companies in collaboration and group companies should essentially be consistent with that of
0-JOB, there may be a gap or overlap due to the objectives of "award the project" and various reasons (which may be required). In addition,
arrangements for work specific to the proposal stage are also required.
As with 0-JOB execution, there are many high-level coordination and commercial arrangements, so don't forget to review them together with
project sponsor and sales person in charge. At the time of consideration, keep the execution formation (JV, Consortium, etc.) between each
company in mind at all times.
Even JGC only case, it is very difficult to overcome commercial, executive, and technical issues, collaborative efforts with other companies and
group companies will be much more difficult in the extent of such concerns (the more collaboration companies increases, the more difficult). If the

companies in collaboration progress of the work.
After submitting proposals, the three main tasks are "negotiation," "preparing for launch," and "carrying out Pre-Award tasks." When "negotiations"
are likely to be spanned in remote areas, move the remaining two in advance to create a mechanism for synergizing with negotiation status.
When negotiations lengthen, persons in charge are assigned to other JOBs, and they may not be able to expect to move flexibly as they did when
they were exclusive. Consider the roles expected of each staff member in the future, and the timing of major moves in the future, and make
appropriate adjustments with the departments.
Return Adjustment of proposal work formation □ Negotiations and its back-up formation
□ Start-up preparedness
□ Pre-Award works preparedness
Contract awards are the lifeline of the company, so there is naturally a policy at the company level. When the responsibility of the Proposal
Manager is referred to as the strategy, it is a high level policy. In addition to hearing thoroughly from senior management and sales in charge,
participate in discussions to the extent permitted, express opinions necessary as professionals of practical work, deepen mutual understanding,
and discuss their wisdom with other representatives as a business person.
Examples of policies that would correspond to this level were listed in section 2. However, depending on the individual case and case, it will be
difficult to draw a line between what is appropriate for proposal management and whether it is responsible for company management or proposal

management. Regarding them, confirm which one is the "decision maker."
While this is not limited to this level of policy, usually there is no sufficient information to set policies, and must make decisions based on certain
assumptions. At a later date, in order to minimize the confusion to the proposal work caused by a change in policy due to unexpected mis-
assumptions, some key members understand the points of high uncertainty and their background (of course, depending on the confidentiality). In
addition, draw a blueprint of how to steer what is possible, and take care to the extent that it is possible, although there may be limitations.

Part II is the most important documents prepared by the Proposal Manager. It can be said to be the Constitution within the Proposal Team. In other
words, it will clarify the critical basic strategies for achieving the purposes of proposal work, namely "award the project" and "securing and
improving gross profit to ensure the completion of the projects," after taking a bird's-eye view of all work areas.
The Proposal Manager first prepare a first draft and gather a small number of key persons including Project Sponsor to work out to brush up the
draft while mobilizing all wisdom and knowledge.
"While it is natural that ""quality"" is crucial for Part II, it is also needed to issue it as soon as possible." Any matters that are difficult to hold down at
the time of the initial issuance should be stated to the extent known or to be clarified in the future and revised accordingly.
The draft Part II is reviewed by the Proposal Strategy Meeting, and the outcome of the discussions is reflected and formally issued after final
approval by the general manager of PMT division.

Of the main issues in simulating the execution of 0-JOB (EPC execution) in the future, the following three points will be examined with particular
care.
□ Qualitative Information
Example: Background and rationale for client budgeting
Example: Client budget addition methods, procedures, limits, and possibility
Example: Meanings of client delivery time (political background, product marketing)
Example: Non-price benefits and disadvantages brought to clients by extending and shortening required delivery time
Example: Meanings for competitors (type of facility/unit, client, geography)
Example: Competitors' behaviour (attitudes toward contracts, attitudes toward vendors and subcontractors)
□ Reliability of the base information (elements of freshness, accuracy, and room for deal)
□ Adjustment objectivity (one-sided bias toward either optimism or pessimism, stochastic perspective)
□ Reality of adjusted figures (deviation from experience records/OME, forecast of future market conditions, etc.)
The main objective of the Proposal Strategy Meeting is to devote a broad range of internal wisdom to the Proposal Strategy Part II drafted by the
Proposal Manager and finalize Part II in which PMT division management instructions are described.
Devise ways to explain and proceed with discussions with the aim of maximizing the wisdom and cooperation of the participants.

Strategy is also said to involve placing battles. To put it plainly, it means deciding "when", "where", "who", "with whom" and "with how much fighting
power" to fight. The formulation of the formation is to determine who is and with whom of these will be. As it is one of the important issues that form
a part of our execution strategy, take care of it.
Collaboration with other companies involves organizational issues such as how to manage and define project management itself, such as how to

address differences in the role and responsibility of corporate and project management between companies, and how to work in relation to
commercial-related operations between the project team and the permanent department. keep in close contact with the Project Sponsor and the
sales person in charge regarding each and each other's actions.
The following is a comprehensive list of points to be taken into account in building formation with other companies in collaboration and group
companies. Before being appointed as a Proposal Manager, it is normal for each company to have already been talking to a certain extent. Use
this as a reference when identifying the history up to the present time and picking up the extent to which be finalized in the future.
1. Initial stage
□ Coordination of the outline of project execution
□ Scope division of major scope of work and determination of profit/loss distribution ratio
Example: Determining the Leader
Example: Satisfaction of each company's motivation for collaboration
Example: Balancing synergy and risk
Example: Balance between share of profits and losses and share of scope of work
□ Understanding of risks of conflicts of interest among companies and countermeasures

②To raise the morale of the persons in charge
Return Kick-off Meeting ③Dissemination of the full picture of the proposal work
To help participants understand Part II thoroughly, devise ways to fully explain it.
In principle, this meeting is held after Part II has been approved. However, if an immediate task is required, flexibly move forward by, for example,
convening a meeting in advance with the managers of relevant divisions/departments and persons in charge who have already been appointed.

2.3 Other areas and matters that have a significant impact on costs and processes
The 0-JOB organization varies depending on a variety of factors, including the characteristics of clients and countries, as well as the size, scope,
schedule, and form of execution and contract. This organizational design is directly linked to the project management MH. The cost ratio is not
large, but it is a disadvantageous area in terms of unit price, so take another step in hard bidding. The same applies when there are concerns
about the supply of internal resources.

3.5 Other
Example: Previous JOB for reference
5-JOB and 0-JOB basically have the same points for WBS work framing. The part that does not need to be as precise as 0-JOB is also simplified,
but if it does, it may become impossible to use the various 5-JOB data (BM/ BQ/MH, etc.) at the start-up stage of 0-JOB.
If there are other companies in collaboration, what to do with WBS is a problem. Do not forget the arrangements based on each other's differences
in WBS and their degree (structure, aggregation unit, measurement method, etc.), how to use mutually exchanged data, etc.
Formulation and check of WBS, procedures, and forms for
Return
estimation work
Do not forget to pay attention to various blank forms and work procedures (especially when client requirements and collaboration companies
cannot use them as they are). Lack of arrangement will cause time loss and re-work work and if the basis of the numerical data (e.g., BM/BQ/MH)
handled or the minimum aggregation units are disrupted, it can be big trouble. In addition, the classification and handling of the net, allowances,
and contingency tend to be confused even within the company, but this is particularly true of other companies with which we collaborate.

FWBS 11
FWBS11 includes a various departments and functions. Look at the FWBS master as a checklist. Do not omit positions that belong to the
department other than PJ Dep., such as Construction Planning, QA, Business Management, Schedule Control, Cost Control, Document Handling,
etc.
This includes Event Risk for the independent itemized risk items and Estimate Contingency for the complement of the accuracy of the estimate. FWBS50&60.xls
Due to the nature of the risk and contingency, high accuracy can not be expected. Therefore, concentrate on the items with big impact is more
efficient than to review 100 small risks.

The basic flow and major review of the entire work in the estimation stage are shown in Attachment 2 in this JGS.
Reviews are broadly divided into those at the division level and those at the project team/ department level. The former position is governance by
the division management to the project team/ department, and the latter position is governance within the project team/ department.
Return Flow of major internal reviews
These will be adjusted according to the characteristics of the project, but in the case of JV/Consortium projects, in addition to internal JGC reviews,
there is usually an increase in reviews among JV/Consortium partners. With JV/Consortium partner, determine in advance what members and
what timing to make them.
The main purposes of the Division Midpoint Review Meeting are the following two points.
①Do not have any material discussions or surprises at the Division Final Review Meeting
②Ensure phase control of proposal works
Therefore, there is no limit on the number of meetings held. Obviously, report on cost formation trends and what is known to be subject to review
Return Division Midpoint Review Meeting should be made known in advance to the relevant persons. When including change of major policies, pay attention to the timing of the meeting so
as not to miss the timing at which the change of direction can be made.
Review participants are stipulated in the Attachment 7 of this JGS, but depending on the subject of the review, consult with Project Sponsor if
additional participant is required.
1. Subject to review
□ Report on cost formation trends and future outlook
□ Reporting and check of strategies that had not been completed at Part II issue stage
□ Changes in strategies determined by Part II
□ Response to situations that require confirmation and judgment by Top Management
The main purposes of the Schedule Review Meeting are the following three points.
①Confirm that the project execution strategy over the time horizon is reasonable and feasible.
②Identification of measures for further schedule mitigation and confirmation of necessary support
Return Schedule Review Meeting ③Confirmation of reasonable delivery time when achievement of target delivery time is expected to be difficult
The timing of the meeting is determined by the Proposal Manager, but should be determined by considering the solidification of the schedule and
the availability of time to reflect the review results in the Proposal.

②Seeking out of risk items that have not been found
③Finding countermeasure proposals and support required
Return Risk Review Meeting
This review should be held at not too early or not too late. At an early stage when a major uncertainty remains or a policy for major contract risks
has not yet been established, project level risk considerations often lack the basis for consideration. On the other hand, if waiting for all to be
clearly confirmed, there may be no time for the review results to be reflected in the proposal. Carefully decide when to hold the review meeting.
1. Preparations
□ Risk review within the Proposal Team
□ Notification to the review participants desired by PM
□ Send documents in advance to understand the outline of the project (do not explain the project outline at the review)

This is the last opportunity to enhance competitiveness by combining the knowledge of each department in their own field with the knowledge of
the Proposal Manager. Share wisdom together to see if there is still room for further steps, reconfirming the history or evaluating the validity of the
estimation results.
Efforts be made to participate in categories with high cost and schedule sensitivity from the department review stage, which is the preliminary
stage of the division review.

Attachment 7 (informative) Proposal Work Execution Matrix (8.Negotiation)
Based on the results of the analysis and evaluation of collected information, changes and coordination to past policies, formulation of new policies,
and other situations that require major decisions will arise. Examples of things that are led by company management or that may be in an interface
with proposal management. As it is a delicate timing, pay particular attention to sufficiently aligning the content of both policies and actions to
harmonize movements.
1. Response to client scenario
Example: Price increase or obtaining additional conditions activity
Example: Discount or conditions mitigation activity
Example: Extension or expediting of contract award date
Example: Clarification negotiation scenario (Final Goals, Stage Goals, Alternatives, Counter Part, Situations, Timing)
Return Confirmation of major matters related to future strategy and actions
2. Response to other companies in collaboration
Example: Check of authorization to Proposal Manager after submission of proposal
Example: Establishing a decision-making process for matters beyond the authorization of Proposal Manager
3.Internal
Example: Maintaining, expanding, and shrinking the current formation/organization
Example: Starting or waiting Pre-Award works
Example: Degree of winning/losing cause analysis
After submitting a proposal, the main role of collecting information is the sales, but try to collect information through the channel that the Proposal
Return Collection, sharing, and analysis of various types of information Team has. It is better in analyzing and evaluating information on future policies and actions from multiple perspectives.
1. Information useful
Example: Bid ranking and differences and client evaluations
Example: Content of a competitor's proposal
Example: Competitor movements
Example: Client speculation and future contractor selection process and schedule
Example: Schedule and procedure of clarification and negotiation
Example: Evaluation criteria for proposal document (for future reference)
2. Information sharing
Example: Shared parties and contents

The negotiation stage prior to closing is usually the strongest negotiating power on the client side, which tends to accept unfavourable terms.
Make every effort to exert calm and persistence and take the lead in negotiations.
Create a positive atmosphere considering good solutions together with the client, based on the perspectives and fairness of what is desirable as a
"project" by sharing the background of client demands, rather than a conflict between "contactor" and "client," depending on the counter partner
and the negotiation scenario.
1. Preparations for negotiations
□ Assumed questions and answers (content of alternatives and trade-offs, timing of offer)
□ Matters to be included in the proposal and need to be included in the contract document
