Gestionas proyectos de construcción con plazos ajustados. ¿Cómo se asegura de que los proveedores entreguen a tiempo?

1. Set Capacity requirements as part of Qualifying requirements to ensure that the vendor does not bite what it can't chew. 2.Hold Pre Bid meetings for clarifying scope so that realistic bids are placed. 3. Standardised drawings as far as possible to avoid time gap in approvals. 4. Periodic meetings to avoid long chain of mails. Work as Partners and collaborate for problem solving. 5. Tracking of Payments to vendors and fixing KPIs for internal staff to ensure timely payments and proper cash flow. 6. Assess Risks in advance and prepare mitigation plans 7. Digitize the project monitoring process with single point of truth. 8. Ensure that you and vendor agree to a common timeline/targets. Dictating timelines will not help.

Communication is key, first part is to ensure that our subs/vendors understand our action plan i.e. construction schedule. Second is constant feedback, understanding if a task will be done on time or not. If yes let's make sure we understand the next steps; if not how can we work together as a team to get back on our path? Lastly, adapt accordingly, and repeat.

First and foremost it's important to try and mitigate risks during the design and planning stage itself. Keeping buffers in timelines as against deliveries committed by vendors so as to accommodate for last minute unavoidable risks is important. During execution phase, its important to track deliveries continuously. Keep discussing with partners on any risks that they forsee and how you can resolve any issues at the budding stage. Thinking ahead is important for project leaders rather than battling out at a later stage.

1. **Clear Communication**: Set expectations and deadlines with regular updates. 2. **Detailed Contracts**: Specify timelines, penalties for delays, and incentives for early completion. 3. **Effective Planning**: Develop a project schedule and monitor progress. 4. **Vendor Selection**: Choose vendors with strong track records. 5. **Progress Monitoring**: Conduct regular inspections and meetings. 6. **Resource Allocation**: Ensure vendors have necessary resources. 7. **Risk Management**: Identify risks and create contingency plans. 8. **Collaboration**: Foster a supportive environment for vendors. 9. **Performance Metrics**: Use key indicators to assess performance. 10. **Incentives**: Offer rewards for meeting deadlines.
