Dear planners,
Let me take you to an Imaginary company ABC Ltd.
ABC is dealing with shop fabrication for major oil producers.
They have good work shop facility and in house inspection services.
ABC is undertaking minor and major fabrication jobs.There will be not less than 300 ongoing jobs. The company is now functioning more as a ’Functional Oriented’ organisation than ’Projectised’ organisation. Company has got a Planning department with1 planning engineer & 2 planners.
Size of piping jobs vary from 100 diameter inches to 10,000 dia inches (Number of small jobs are more).Structural projects vary from 1 Tonne to 50 Tonne.
For moderately large projects , planning & scheduling and tracking is carried out well and in a detailed manner.
Now company want to control the smaller jobs which make larger portion of the profit through the implementation of daily/ weekly planning, resource control & progress monitoring.
Assume you have been taken on board as incharge of ’Production Planning’.
What will be the procedures / methodologies you may implement to have a good production planning and control over progress & resources ?
Lets show your professional flare & share your ideas.
(As you know a lot of fabrication companies are working on such business model, this discussion will benifit all of us for sure)
Cheers!
