On time
The inlet chamber drawing arrives in week 6, as listed. The fence, which isn't on the list, gets a modest drawing, which is all a fence needs.
Last opened at tenderA gorgeous fence and a missing chamber.
Kept aliveEvery drawing with a name and a date, moving with the programme.
Now there is: The whole parts list (the master information delivery plan), with every firm's parts, linked to the programme and kept live.
What's going on here
The parts list is how a job knows what it's making, who's making it and when. Linked to the programme and kept live, it means the drawing site needs next week is already on someone's desk, and a drawing nobody asked for is a sign it's being ignored.
In the town See it in the town: Who's making the drawing site needs next week?
The parts list started life in each deal with the neighbours, one firm's lines at a time. Here it becomes the whole job's parts list, every firm's lines in one place, on the published shelf beside the promise and tied to the build programme so the dates move together. Kept live, it shows a missing inlet chamber drawing early, and a lovingly detailed fence nobody ordered just as quickly.
Fix it Parts list gathering dust? Bring it back to life.
- Check the next month's site activities against the parts list.
- Add anything missing with a firm, a person and a date.
- Link the list to the programme and review both together weekly.
A note for the information manager: Watch for drawings nobody listed as closely as listed ones running late, because both mean the list has stopped steering the work.
