Key Elements of Collaborative Planning in Construction
Collaborative Scheduling
Collaborative Planning integrates individual plans, ensuring that all stakeholders contribute to the master schedule to align project objectives.
Forecasting and Replenishment
Reliable forecasting is essential for ensuring seamless procurement and logistics. It prevents material shortages, reduces excess inventory, and supports just-in-time delivery systems.
Problem Solving and Continuous Improvement
Collaborative Planning utilises detailed iterative planning along with continual structured problem-solving to refine workflows, minimise waste, and optimise project outcomes.
