MCA Vol II Ebook

Agile Construction allows the contractor to rapidly adapt to jobsite changes in order to complete each project profitably and efficiently. The agility of the contractor at the job site affects the profits. This course focuses on the base for good labor productivity and measurement, job scheduling and planning as well as the base for procurement management and prefabrication: The Work Breakdown Structure.

What will you gain?

The most profitable and productive projects are a result of effective project planning. A solid Work Breakdown Structure is imperative to lay the proper foundation. WBS is the Project Road Map and Build Process tailored exactly to the need of construction project. It is created by the foreman or supervisor, who will run the job and be reviewed by the project manager. An accurate WBS allows the project team to transparently track work, reduce waste, prevent errors and improve accuracy to promote safer and more cost effective projects. This program will explain how to break down the job using WBS and discuss decision making factors that define the project, as well as accurate work breakdown structure.

Following this course, participants will be able to:

• Define and do a Work Breakdown Structure for your own project
• Explain how to apply WBS to a project
• Discuss the benefits WBS brings to a project

Agile Construction allows the contractor to rapidly adapt to jobsite changes in order to complete each project profitably and efficiently. The agility of the contractor at the job site affects the profits. This course focuses on the daily work schedule as well as identifying the daily obstacles that impacts our labor productivity, job scheduling and planning. To document the daily schedule delays and obstacles on the jobs site is becoming more and more important to be able to predict and prevent the cost impacts to our jobsites. You will learn the ins and outs of the Short Interval Scheduling (SIS^®)

Short Interval Scheduling (SIS^®) is a ASTM Project Tracking Standard (E-2691).

What will you gain?

Labor management is the highest risk in contracting. However, most of the issues that labor faces in their daily work are hidden from management, but with three-day scheduling all these issues become visible. This program focuses on the impact of scheduling on job productivity, tracking forms, charting of data and the analysis and interpretation of these charts.

Following this course, participants will be able to:

• Discuss simple methods and tools that can be used to schedule jobs
• Identify the obstacles and reduce labor waste to improve job productivity
• Explain how to data analysis tools to examine and apply information to job scheduling
