Keep fabrication moving

Drawing revisions can put a package on hold. Compare ready work against available crews and stations, then give the shop its next assignment.

Plan each assembly

Pipe spools, racks and ductwork assemblies can need different fabrication steps. Set up the route your shop uses for each package, with its drawings and required field date kept with the work.

The shared production plan shows where those packages compete for a crew or station. Your next assignment can account for that demand instead of relying on a separate list of jobs that look ready.

  • Keep drawing questions and hold reasons with the package
  • Compare the crews and stations needed by ready work
  • Keep the field requirement visible when the shop sequence changes

Keep the crew moving

A revised drawing puts a pipe-rack package on hold. A ductwork package has checked drawings and available material. For this example, the planner confirms that it fits the crew and station slot without moving another promised job.

The planner assigns the ductwork package and keeps the rack on hold with the drawing question attached. The crew has a checked assignment, and the project team can see that the rack still needs a decision before its field date can be relied on.

When the revised drawing is ready, compare the rack's remaining work with the updated bookings before returning it to the queue. The replacement assignment has used capacity that the original plan may still assume is free.

Hand off the current plan

Keep assignments, drawings and discussion with the order in Building Swell. Record stage progress as the crew works, so the next planner can see what has been built and what remains before making another commitment.

The next shift gets the package's current information and hold status, rather than having to reconstruct why the work changed.

Bring a revised package

Bring a package whose revision changed the plan. We can work through its route, the available crew and the effect on the work already promised.
