Home Construction Company

Here we use Multi·Project·Planner as a construction management tool.
The schedule is from a company doing residential construction.

The planning problems are:

• Can we deliver a building within a given timeframe? (Just in Time scheduling)
• What are the overall consequences of one activity being delayed? (Adjusting the plan)

In the work team schedule (the upper one) the activities of a project share the same color, i.e. the orange bars represents activities belonging to the project 'The Peterson residence'.

The bars in the employee schedule (the middle one) respresents duties. Blue duties are assigned an activity and orange duties are free.

Focusing on a single project and its interrelationships is done setting the schedule in PERT chart mode.
