Construction scheduling
Everyone knows the importance of schedules—in many ways, they run our lives. They also run construction projects. Schedulers are essential members of construction project management teams. A scheduler is responsible for defining the activities for a given project and arranging them in such a way that the critical path for that project can be understood. The scheduler provides insight into which activities will be completed at specific times during a particular project.
Challenges of construction logistics
Construction logistics involve high stakes—this is true both for workers’ safety and project deadlines, which have direct implications on overall costs and business continuity. Let’s explore the logistical challenges you need to be prepared for as a construction business. Planning is the #1 challenge when managing a construction project. Material and transport planning, supply, demand, procurement, infrastructure, and local access all need to be planned in advance to ensure timely delivery.
Creation of a construction logistics plan is key to ensuring project delivery.
Regarding site-to-site logistics, we’re talking about route planning and workforce management, i.e., knowing how many drivers you need and how many hours they will be working on any given site and day. To create an efficient team schedule and ensure continuous transportation service, construction businesses usually hire a transportation manager. This dedicated person is in charge of implementing the construction logistics plan.
Solution
Construction logistics are impossible without a transportation management system (TMS). It’s used for route planning (including recurring routes), automatically dispatching jobs to drivers, and supporting fleet management. An effective transportation management system will complement and coordinate with your back-office software.
