Planning by Contractor:
Contractor also known as builder need to synchronize the
available every resources so that the dynamism of the
work progress accelerates day after day till it completes.
Major resources need to be made available at site,
possible at the form of JIT (Just in Time) to save expense
of storage and quality degradation due to poor storage.
At the same time it needs to keep good relation even with
the local people at the site. In case of large projects, the
contractor
needs
to
manage
its
labors
for
schooling(training), health care and other recreation
centers for the people involved in it. Various materials, in
case the contractor has to supply and build the work,
needs to develop proper procurement system to secure
benefits.
Continued-With the list of actions and the time required for delivery
are worked out from the contract schedule, action
Plans are based upona. resources available, - manpower, materials,
equipment etc available in the project that can be
efficiently used,
b. time allocated to each tasks, - time available for
each task from the master plan are allocated to each
task, but if the task is larger than the time available,
double or triple shift or increase of resources are
arranged,
c. attainment(finish) date of each tasks- if the dates of
attainment are nearer of the task, it may need extra
resources or extra time or additional resources so that
performance can be speeded up.
Continued-Bar-Chart:
Bar chart was first developed by Henry Gantt,
who was an associate of the Father of Scientific
Management F. W. Tailor in the first World War. It
was long time till 1955 that there was no
significant development in scheduling from the
Bar chart.
Bar Chart is a pictorial representation of the
activities drawn in a thick horizontal bar (line)
against a calendar date or time sale. It shows the
start date and end date of proposed activities
drawn across time scales. Times scales are drawn
with vertical lines distributing horizontal time
span in a time unit considered. The activities are
obtained from Work Breakdown structure.
"Work Breakdown structure is a systematic and
disciplined approach for breaking down a project
into its many components and sub-components"

sand, steel, water.

Preparation of a Bar ChartFollowing can be steps for preparing a bar chart Break down the project in to a number of activities
that require separate knowledge and skill to
perform and can be individually performed,
Considering the available resources and time
provision for the project, allocate each activities a
reasonable time for doing them,
Note the start calendar date of the project and work
out to get calendar dates for each of the activities,
Consider the calendar dates of each of the activities
for favorable climatic condition for performance,
Also note those activities which can be started
independently without considering predecessor,
Also consider resource utilizing up to a reasonable
level without over or under loading the project with
them.

parallel with different color to show performance.
