Using Jovix
®
on a Building Project
Introduction
The General Contractor (GC) for
this stadium project sustained
steel erection delays on a prior
stadium project, which drove
up costs. The GC was motivated
to fix the issue on the next
project after reviews attributed
the delays to a lack of real-
time visibility into supply chain
metrics. The GC chose Jovix to
track materials from fabrication
to installation, and integrating Jovix with the GC's modeling software allowed them
to color-code models with corresponding statuses.
Material Sequencing Visibility: Value Drivers
Schedule Adherence
Project Managers (PM) use Jovix
®
to forecast Material Readiness
®
in relation to the
construction schedule. By identifying material issues early, PMs adjust workface
planning and minimize time off tools, lowering labor costs. Superintendents use
Jovix for heavy haul planning. Access to heavy haul material weights enables
planning well in advance of the required at site (RAS) date.
Material Constraint Avoidance
From supplier to staging yard to warehouse to construction, a superintendent
sees near real-time material status in Jovix. If materials are being fabricated out
of sequence and caught early, the superintendent has time to contact the trade
partner and resolve the constraint.
