Optimisation of the management of a large building site during the establishment of production facilities for the automotive industry

 

Brief:

Major building works for an American automotive manufacturer involving more than 50 interlinked machining centres must be completed on time and to cost. Our client is a manufacturer of machining centres and special machines with operations worldwide.

 

Services:

- Specify and communicate the targets for the building site team.

- Define parameters for checking performance.

- Specify and standardise the weekly reporting from

  the building site.

- Carry out weekly building site conferences with the

  building site team and those responsible internally from all

  areas of the company.

- Provide a graphic display of the status of the project on the building site.

- Monitor the subsequent costs to the suppliers in the case of

  component failures.

- Record the processes in a building site manual.

 

Results:

These major building works were processed in record time and handed over to the client ahead of schedule. The strict building site management practised here for the first time was transferred to four other large building sites in the USA and Mexico.

 

Time period: 5 months
