Create schedules that are used as tools, not as placemats.
- An effective schedule must be realistic
- There is a lot that goes into a realistic schedule
- Too much for a single Coachcast – today we are focusing on the logic
- The logic is the sequencing and the coordination portion of the schedule
- When creating your schedule be sure to check the logic
- The obvious – this is what we typically build the schedule on
- The underground pipe before the pavement
- We need to go beyond the obvious and take a closer look
- The not so obvious
- Installing metal studs to bottom of a slab on deck before the concrete is poured
- Manpower loading and space restrictions
- Scheduling the framers, electricians, plumbers and others all in the same room at the same time
- Trade interaction
- Scheduling dry-fall ceiling painting the same time as framing below
- The obvious – this is what we typically build the schedule on
- Create your base schedule then check and adjust
- Look at it like an assembly line
- Put the tires on the rim before mounting to the car
- The difference is the product doesn’t move, the trades do
- Work through each step testing the logic
- Look at it like an assembly line
