Job Scheduling
Many contractors, both large and small, struggle
with the task of completing projects on time and
profitably. Best job scheduling efforts aside,
problems often still occur. ComputerEase solves
these problems.
Problems include:
- Schedules do not clearly accommodate critical
interdependencies and note mandatory completion
points - A roof cannot be put on a building
until the frame is up
- Job schedules for different projects conflict
- A particular piece of equipment or skilled
individual is needed at two different jobs on
the same day
- Inability to balance workloads across various
projects - A company with a staff of ten has
work or jobs scheduled requiring fourteen people
one day and eight people the next
- Unexpected delays affect job schedule - Bad
weather delays a project, and there is no real
easy way to adjust. All affected tasks and workloads
cannot be rebalanced without spending many hours
on rescheduling and shifting resources
To be successful in the construction industry,
you need to plan your work and then work your
plan.
Successful planning includes:
- Laying out the project timeline for each phase
of a project
- Knowing where the critical interdependencies
lie within that timeline
- Allocating needed resources for each task
effectively
- Balancing your workload to ensure that your
resources are effectively utilized between all
active jobs scheduled
- Adjusting and readjusting your job schedules
as the project progresses to account for outside
factors.
ComputerEase's Project Management module provides
you with an intelligent job scheduling feature
that accommodates all aspects of successful planning.
This allows you to successfully work your plan.
A successfully executed job schedule equals timely
and profitable jobs.
