Schedule techniques - looking outside the box

By Lanny Harward posted 2 days ago
Be the first person to recommend this.
I have been challenged to think outside the box and gather ideas on scheduling techniques.  We are questioning everything we do and why we do it (Production Control).  A little about us: We use Primavera Mostly Operations/Maintenance with plant upgrades and integration of 'off-site' schedules Maintenance nature prevents logic driven schedules (focus on resources and 'checklist' nature of Maintenance work)  High focus on resources (limited availability) especially during plant down-time Tracking costs is not a focus at this level of schedules (captured in roll-up where EVMS, configuration control, baseline management occurs) Off-site schedules exist which require ...

Cost Reduction Strategies for Utilities Part 2: Technology Adoption by Ahsan Upal

By Rufran Frago posted 5 days ago
Be the first person to recommend this.
In the early 1900’s when electricity was being distributed to the houses. Utilities were considered technology companies because they were laying the foundation of the modern life and there was a strong demand for electricity service to be able to bring light and connect time saving tools and appliances at home with perhaps the same longing eyes as there is today with the latest smart devices. Somewhere along the way utilities lost their cool and instead of being innovators utilities became known as bureaucratic and boring. It doesn’t, however, need to be this way into our future. With technologies such as artificial intelligence, data analytics, remote sensors, ...

Tips to Effective Project Schedule Updates Part 2

By Rufran Frago posted 27 days ago
1 person recommends this.
The client company, through its representative, must review and give feedbacks to the contractor after receiving the schedule update/report. It is not only an expected feedback and input mechanism but also a responsibility. Return inputs (feedbacks) must be in a timely, coordinated, and agreed-to manner so nothing goes between the cracks. All inputs and feedbacks shall be in writing via e-mail or handwritten correspondences. Address the comments from the client in a formal construction meeting or documented informally, prior to such meeting. Engaging face to face is preferred to a teleconference call or remote engagement whenever possible. Click the image below ...
