Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we deliver the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Site Logistics Planning - Pointers.

1st - you need to plan the shortest possible route.

2nd - Make sure that egress and ingress to site is well define

3rd - Make sure that double handling of materials is minimized.

4th - How far can you delay the access area without affecting the completion date.

5th - Plan for alternative route as the project progress.

6th - Prepare a programme / schedule for delivery of materials to avoid bottlenecks and clashes on site.

I am sure there are more pointers to consider that I have not covered, worth reading some materials on site logistics.

Cheers mate,
Daniel

Hi Mangesh,

PMBOK is available on www.pmi.org and rita mulchay’s book is available on www.rmcproject.com.

You can also find some more interesting books on pmi.org website but you need to pay for all the above books.

You can have these books at discounted rates at www.amazon.com Please check

Cheers,

Raviraj
