Job Scheduling
Many contractors, regardless of size, struggle with the task of completing projects profitably and on time. Problems often occur despite their best efforts at job scheduling.
ComputerEase can solve or prevent these problems.
Problems include:
- Schedules do not accommodate critical interdependencies or note mandatory completion points - a roof cannot be put on a building until the frame is up
- Job schedules for different projects conflict - a piece of equipment or skilled worker 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 scheduled jobs requiring fourteen people one day and eight people the next
- Unexpected delays affect a job schedule - bad weather delays a project, and there is no easy way to adjust. Affected tasks and workloads cannot be rebalanced without
spending hours 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 the timeline
- Effectively allocating resources for each task
- Balancing your workload to ensure that your active job sites are using resources efficiently
- Adjusting your job schedules as the project progresses to account for outside factors
ComputerEase's Project Management module provides you with an intelligent and intuitive 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.
