Time and cost are two important factors in construction that are crucial in achieving the project objectives. Time and Cost are two inseparable realities. They are two sides of the same coin. We cannot achieve one without the other.
I have always emphasised on the importance of budget and staying within budget means. In this complex world scenario, a sustainable business unit can only see the light of another day, only if it focuses on optimising on its cost and staying within its budget means. One should never forget that a hell lot of home work is required achieve the maximum within the budget means.
The present project proves to be a clear example to this. We have worked hard to bring the project within budget means. The credit goes to all who are on the ground. While we have often been addressing this issue of cost and time in our weekly review, somewhere i begin to realise that we are still not focussing on our operational strategy as a whole. We are approaching them in isolation. Alignment (-Cost -Time -Waste + Service) is the key here. We cannot have one without the other. We cannot ignore that the management of our (labour) workforce, accuracy of material requirement estimate and proper scheduling are still a matter of concern and they require our timely attention.
Manovsis as a company will be a company par excellence, if it succeeds on its operational strategy. It is everyone’s responsibility to make it happen. Ownership is the key here. The solution to making our operational strategy a success is simple “THINK OUT OF BOX” in your ESTIMATION AND EXECUTION.
