NEW SKILL/KNOWELDGE DETAILS

PLANNING & MONITORING

Construction planning is a fundamental and challenging activity in

the management and execution of construction projects. It involves

the choice of technology, the definition of work tasks, the estimation

of the required resources and durations for individual tasks, and the

identification of any interactions among the different work tasks.

Essential aspects of construction planning include the generation of

required activities, analysis of the implications of these activities,

and choice among the various alternative means of performing

activities.

The planner insures that the proper precedences among activities

are maintained and that efficient scheduling of the available

resources prevails.

Benefits of Scheduling:

Requires managers to think the project through prior starting

the work

Provides a structured approach to planning

Means of communicating the work plan to others

Identify problems before they arise.


NICMAR Page 20

Identify long-lead fabricated items

Assess resource requirements

Forecast cash flows

Serves as primary documentation for delay claim analysis and

other time impact considerations

Planning:

Construction Planning is the necessary forerunner to Scheduling and includes:

1. Defining work tasks

2. Determining general sequence

3. Construction methods

4. Assigning responsibility

Scheduling:

Good scheduling requires more detailed, on-going preparation as

activities draw closer to actual execution. A weekly schedule more

NICMAR Page 21

directly communicates the work plan to the field personnel more

accurately reflects immediate work plan because actual conditions

are more predictable, i.e.: progress, weather, resources,

subcontractor availability, short-term goals, and special

considerations.

Whereas, here in Jaypee scheduling is also done on the basis of

trigger amount (amount demand from the customer based on

construction status). The amount to be raised each month will be

decided in the review meeting and monthly schedule is prepared

according to that and status is updated on weekly basis to keep track

of the work done to meet the demand schedule to be collected from

the customer.

Monitoring:

Tracking actual starts and finishes (AS/AF)

Modifying the remaining duration to reflect the current status

of an activity

Planning window from MIS tool


NICMAR Page 22

Must keep schedule current to realize its full value

Serves as documentation for determining damages or eligibility

for time extensions

To monitor the work status of so many different projects, company

developed the MIS(Management Information System) tool to

monitor the work status of each tower or project. The data entered

in the MIS tool from the site office for the work done and it is

monitored by Planning personnel on daily basis to meet schedule.

Monitoring can be done by generating various reports from MIS tool

like DPR, WPR, tower wise status report, tower wise slab cycle

report.

Various report Formats on MIS tool


NICMAR Page 23

DPR format on MIS tool

Updating:

Statusing

Reasonable modifications to logic

Change orders

Insert or modify coding for better organization in working with

and presenting the schedule more significant changes are

usually referred to as Schedule Revisions

Revising and Modifying:

Necessary reaction to change ƒ

Modify logic to reflect work plan ƒ

Internal or external pressure to accelerate or regain lost time


NICMAR Page 24

Updating the work on daily basis is required to keep track on the

status of the scheduled work. This can only be done by giving proper

training to the people working on site regarding the tool to update

the working status to complete the work on scheduled time. Also

MIS is helpful in tracking the delay of work and used to identify cause

for such delays. So that it can be resolved easily without wasting the

working time.

Influences Changing the Original Schedule:

Weather

Acts of God

Better or worse productivity than anticipated

Delivery problems

Greater insight to the actual scope of work

Subcontractor performance/availability

Change in scope of work

Differing site conditions

After following all these planning aspects, we were asked to make

the scheduled for the finishing activities for one of project KALYPSO

COURT in the MSP(Microsoft Project). The following figure shows the

steps done on the MSP.


NICMAR Page 25

The finishing activities of every tower are breakdown into different

parts and according to that work is carried out. The WBS of such

activities are first created on MSP and then the activities are entered

based on the work to be carried out. The WBS various activities

created in msp are shown in figure below.

WBS of the finishing activities


NICMAR Page 26


NICMAR Page 27

Various activities in WBS elements

After making the WBS of activities to be carried out for the finishing

work. The duration is decided and predecessor are assigned to each

activities based on the time and resources available. The total no. of

duration achieved after assigning the no. of days is 818 days for the

finishing work of one tower (G+25) having 3 units at each floor.


NICMAR Page 28

Duration of finishing activities with completion status.

As soon as the status is updated it can be track on the Gantt chart. And each activity can be monitored with the help of gantt chart. A sample of gantt chart of finishing work is shown in the fig. below.

Gantt chart of finishing work.

FMG (Facility Management Group):

The FMG department at the Jaypee ensures the delivery or handover

of the flats by checking all the facilities in the tower. Various

activities which are carried out by FMG are:

Checking of all the activities installed in flat or in tower

Ensuring the quality of the work done as per specification

Deals with outside authority for building completion certificate.

Flat can be handover by getting the clearance from the FMG

group.

Check whether it meet the requirements of its occupants.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

Indian construction industry is labour intensive comprising of semi-

skilled and unskilled workers. The measurement and evaluation of an

organization's performance on health and safety conditions at work

mainly aims at the provision of information about the current

situation and the progress of the strategies, processes and activities

that are adopted by an organization with the view to keep H&S

hazards under control.

The construction industry needs a new

paradigm for measuring safety performance on construction sites

that is a proactive approach rather than just depending on the

reactive data. The proactive approach is able to provide essential

feedback on performance before incidents occur.

Management and planning is one way to avoid unplanned events.

Since accidents are unplanned events, an effective safety

management can help avoid job injuries. Safety management must

be through, and it must be applicable to all aspects of the job, from

the estimating phase of the project until the last worker has left the

premise at the completion of the project.

The H & S policy for any organization is management driven. There

are various certifications given to the organization, if the work


NICMAR Page 44

carried by them fulfills the requirement mention in code books. The

various certificates given to the organization are:

ISO 9001-2008: Quality Management System

ISO14001-2004: Environment Management System

OHSAS18001-2007: Safety Management System

These certificate given to the organization if they fulfill the below

mention criteria:

Legal Requirement

Energy Conservation

Reduction in incidents

Proper working environment

To maintain the criteria mentioned in the quality, it is done with the

help of PDCA cycle (Plan,Do,Check & Act)

3.1 PDCA cycle:

PDCA cycle


NICMAR Page 45

PLAN: The planning for the safety management system in PDCA cycle

basically involves:

Identifying the understanding the construction procedure

Analyzing the hazard associate with the task to be carried out.

Hazard like:

o Physical

o Chemical

o Biological

o Ergonomical

Then identifying the risk occurring from that hazard.

Ensuring if it is causing any environment impact.

Heat stroke

Head injuries

Eye injuries.

The improvement of safety, health and working conditions depends

ultimately upon people working together, whether governments,

employers or workers. So safety management means applying safety

measures before accidents happen. Causes for accidents happening

at the sites:

Inadequate codes or standards

Failure by management to enforce the safety rules and

regulation

Faulty design or lack of maintenance

Inadequate PPE’s

Lack of safety awareness and training

Emotional stability and temperament +/-

Poor physical conditions viz. fatigue, deafness,poor eyesight so

on and so forth

It is not possible to apply for such certification for every organization

as, after getting the certification there are certain standards which

need to be followed to maintain the safety at the sites. There the

factors which causes such restriction in implementing such safety

measure are:

Reduction in huge expenses occurring due to renewal of such

certificates

Due to ambiguity issues

Organization role

Financial constraints

Resource constraints.

Other than the contractors’ responsibility for causing accidents in the

construction sites, the absence of government follow up on the

construction projects and the failure to improving the safety

performance on the construction sites were also responsible for the

high number of accidents.

Construction professionals should play more active roles in

sustaining construction safety and in improving safety culture for

construction workers

Achievements During the Tenure

1. Preparation of two most renowned safety reports which were Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA), which was accepted by company and we were also asked to submit a copy of these two reports in company for future use.

2. We were also able convince the management to Issue sufficient amount of PPE’s for the each site which was its in-house construction from the store as per requirement given by tower-in-charge.

3. I was given a task to do a case study on Jaiprakash Associates by any analytical method. I was successfully able to complete the case study using SWOT analysis and Porter Five Force Model, which was accepted by the Company.

4. We were given a task by the legal department to do a Contract Analysis of two documents which were both accepted by the Company. These Documents were Concession Agreement between Taj Expressway Industrial Development Authority and Jaiprakash Industries Limited and Contract document of façade installation at Jaypee Sport city between JPSI and S.P Fabricators Pvt.

Problem Mitigation during the Tenure

Problem: An accident took place at Garden Isles Project which resulted in fatality. After this case, the construction activity was stalled for two days. Health and Safety department at Jaypee prepared an investigating report which only contained name of person, cause of fatality and compensation to be paid with an attached copy of the F.I.R.

Solution: After this case, we were asked about our opinion about the matter. We suggested that due to this fatality the construction activity was stopped for 2days, resulting in huge loss in the productivity. We also pointed out that, only on this site alone there have been 6 fatalities due to unavailability of PPE’s and improper supervision from the In-Charge. So after this we were given a week’s time to investigate the reason for the fatality, understand the mindset of workers and staff towards safety and remedial actions which we as Nicmarian’s can suggest.

So we went to site to investigate the case, and found that there was no safety net provided while the worker was removing the above net. As per safety guidelines, while removing the safety net another net should be installed at a place just below where the previous net existed and another net 6 floors below that for extra protection but none of this safety measures were taken, resulting in this fatality.

The mindset of the workers towards safety was awful. They didn’t imply to basic requirements of working at

heights like wearing helmet, safety boots and wearing a safety harness while working on the edges. The reason given by them for not wearing PPE’s was that, it hindered their productivity and movement. When the in-charge was present they would wear the PPE’s but as soon he is gone they would remove them. The amount of these PPE’s per worker ratio was also very less.

The remedial action we suggested after the investigation was:

Preparation of safety reports which were Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA), which was accepted by company.

Issue of sufficient amount of PPE’s for the site which was its in-house construction from the store as per requirement given by tower-in-charge.

Note 1: No data collection for thesis work was done during the

internship because the thesis topic Quality Function Deployment

(QFD) was not implemented at the site. Even people seemed to

be unaware about the thesis topic, when a non-official

Questionnaire was floated in the PMG Department.
