Every project should start by defining the strategy (A) to focus on quality, efficiency and ultimate benefit. Below is a basic roadmap that covers everything from project definition to detailed preparation (B) and execution (C), providing a robust framework to ensure the achievement of objectives and successful delivery of results.
Understanding and applying these principles is essential for any team wishing to successfully overcome the challenges inherent in projects in a variety of sectors.
A - STRATEGY
CLEAR OBJECTIVES
Define the project objectives clearly and specifically and ensure that all team members understand them.
> Specific objective – cladding inspection: Is the cladding being inspected (yes/no/partial)?
Level of control: Description of the level of cladding control.
Coding systems: Will coding systems be used? (Yes/No)
PROJECT SCOPE
Define the scope of the project.
> Prefabrication of cladding: Scope and requirements defined by the client.
STAKEHOLDERS
Identify and understand all stakeholders in the project and consider their needs and expectations:
> Client deadlines and internal planning: ensure client deadlines are clearly understood and develop internal planning to meet client deadlines.
ORDERS
Define an ordering policy for cladding materials and determine how often and when to order.
RESOURCES AVAILABLE
Determine the human and physical resources required for the project.
DEFINE KPIS
Define KPIs to assess project progress and success.
B - PREPARATION
CLEAR OBJECTIVES
> Warehouse preparation on site: This involves ensuring that the warehouse is organised and ready to receive the required materials.
> Material entry registration: Ensure systematic recording of material receipts.
PROJECT SCOPE
> Carrying out measurements on exotic materials, carrying out supporting studies and sending data to facilitate the preparation of the Bill of Materials (BOM).
> Validate the adaptation of the digital solutions implemented to the needs of the project.
STAKEHOLDERS
> Establish clear and unambiguous roles and responsibilities for each team member involved in the project.
> Training the team.
ORDERS
> Order materials using digital solutions in accordance with the policy outlined in strategy (A).
RESOURCES AVAILABLE
> Preparation of digital solutions (Power Apps download, access rights, digital devices).
> Work and staff planning.
DEFINE KPIS
> Control data.
> Information analysis KPI monitoring.
C - EXECUTION
CLEAR OBJECTIVES
Work on logistics in advance.
PROJECT SCOPE
Analyse and correct deviations.
STAKEHOLDERS
Supervise correct execution.
ORDERS
> Control thanks to data transparency.
RESOURCES AVAILABLE
> Monitor resources.
DEFINE KPIS
> Control data.
> Information analysis KPI monitoring.
