Introduction
PRODUCTION PLANNING
➢ Microplanning
➢ Is concerned with the ‘how’ of task execution
➢ Encompassing methods, personnel roles, material
movement, and assembly

PROJECT PLANNING
➢ Macroplanning
 The difference 03
in Macro and
Micro Planning HAVE YOU EVER SHOT A BOW?
MACROPLANNING
➢ very high-level description of a
project, short and concise just
hitting the important highlights

MICROPLANNING
➢ involves lots and lots of details and
very intense schedule to get work
done.

SAFETY PLANNING 08
Construction work is risky, with hazards like sharp
objects and heavy loads. Safety relies on
meticulous planning and employee engagement. A
safety committee oversees protocols, and rotating
foremen conduct regular inspections. Plans cover
accidents, high places, heavy lifting, and hazardous
materials. Safety equipment accessibility, storage,
and regular checks are crucial.
Drug-free measures are essential. Preplanned drug-
testing policies deter usage. Policies outline testing biological hazard chemical hazard physical hazard
methods, banned substances, penalties, and
assistance programs. Pre-employment and random
testing discourage drug use, while post-accident and

environment.

PLANNING FOR QUALITY I n today's construction landscape, competitiveness demands a
09
formalized quality control system for each project.
Balancing production and quality is vital for success.
• Total Quality Management (TQM)-encompasses planning,
proactive problem-solving, efficient change order
management, and thorough employee training. Continuous
improvement applies to all construction phases.

MATERIAL ORDERING AND EXPEDITING

.
After signing a construction contract, major materials are ordered
based on delivery lead time. Long lead-time items are prioritized.
Purchase orders align with the project schedule, specifying delivery
dates, quantities, and quality requirements. Adequate notice for job
site deliveries is essential.
• An efficient material-expediting system ensures timely
deliveries. Purchase orders include project-based delivery dates,
considering storage and cash flow. Thorough attention is given to
preparing and approving drawings, samples, and documents.
 10
During fabrication, communication confirms shipping
arrangements, space reservation, and necessary
documentation. Some contractors use unpriced purchase
orders for tracking.
• Regular expeditor-engineer meetings monitor
material status and address delays. Swift action
mitigates manufacturing or shipping issues, with
early warnings providing flexibility in managing
MATERIAL
setbacks.
HANDLING & PROTECTION
Material deliveries should be scheduled in advance to avoid disruptions. A designated worker with the purchase
order should oversee unloading, checking for completeness and damage. Inventory control ensures materials
match intended installations. Direct movement to installation minimizes handling costs.
• Proper planning prevents delays from incomplete or damaged orders. Detailed material handling and storage
planning save costs and prevent mishaps.
• Off-site storage involves title, insurance, and payment considerations. Title transfers impact insurance, and
payment timelines need coordination.
.
 EQUIPMENT PLANNING
Efficient management of construction equipment
is crucial due to its substantial project cost.
Planning involves equipment spread, haul roads,
and maintenance facilities.
Equipment selection depends on availability and
cost considerations. A cost analysis is vital when
opting for less suitable equipment. Acquiring
additional equipment requires buy, lease, or rent
analysis.
A well-structured maintenance plan with regular

preventive maintenance is nesessary. Also,
Coordinated layout for fueling and maintenance
yards alongside other yard areas is important.
 PRODUCTION METHODS
Efficient assembly processes are crucial for unique
construction projects. Subassemblies can be
prefabricated, and assembly-line techniques applied.
Simplifying drawings and instructions ans processes
should be broken down and simplified.
Planning construction methods identifies opportunities
for assembly-line techniques, involving jigs, layout
devices, and power fastening systems. Prefabrication on-
site and off-site simplifies work, speeds up processes, and
improves quality control. Encouraging subcontractors to
provide prefabricated assemblies can be cost-effective
and boost efficiency.

ACTIVITY PLANNING
To ensure timely project completion, designate a
foreman for activity planning. A week before the
scheduled activity, verify complete drawings and
any expected changes. Ensure approved shop
drawings and their sequence. Confirm special
tools and equipment availability and share plans
with parallel activities. Arrange alternatives for
equipment failure. Check on-site materials'
availability, storage, and quality. Inspect the work
area, ensuring proper access, layout, utilities, and
safety measures. Coordinate concurrent work and
address waste disposal needs.

Checklist
Amid the chaos of construction projects, crucial
details can be overlooked, causing rework. Checklists,
developed over time, help track various phases like
permitting, excavation, concrete work, and more.
These lists evolve from experience, reducing repeat
mistakes. Even seasoned supervisors’ benefit from
checklists, ensuring comprehensive oversight. Airline
pilots, despite repetition, rely on checklists for safety.
Figure 6.2 showcases a concrete checklist, offering
guidance for both experienced and novice foremen,
enhancing quality control and efficiency.

Look Ahead Schedules
Two types of look-ahead schedules exist: project
schedules in 4-6 week cycles and production
schedules created by foremen. Production look-
aheads detail specific work methods for the next 7-
10 days. For instance, a carpenter foreman
assigned abutment forming checks labor hours,
given budget constraints and schedule. Using bar
charts or diagrams, tasks are planned, assigned,
and organized to ensure work is completed within
budget and schedule.

Schedules
 PLANNING THE PAPERWORK
Construction projects generate substantial paperwork,
necessitating effective organization. A numbering system
like the Construction Specifications Institute's aids in
managing correspondence, change orders, and more.
Software can track time-sensitive documents. Planning at
project start saves time later. For as-built drawings and
warranties, documenting deviations early is significant.
Weekly project meetings can adopt a numbering system
for discussion items, distinguishing between old and new
issues and tracking their resolution over time.

PUTTING THE PLANS ON PAPER

Like project planning, production planning requires
documentation. Sketches, lists, and explanations capture
the plans, aiding organization. Accessibility is crucial,

transformer deliveries.
