Scheduler
Scheduling is the process of deciding how to commit resources between a variety of possible tasks and is an important tool for construction where it can have a major impact on the productivity of a process or project. The purpose of scheduling is to minimize the production time and costs by telling a construction team what to make, when, with which staff, and on which equipment.
The scheduler assumes the responsibility for the overall scheduling of a construction project. They may be involved in one project or numerous projects. The scheduler's responsibilities include a wide range of duties involving initial job planning, scheduling of time, scheduling of materials, coordination of subcontractors, monitoring of job progress, analysis of changes and problem solving.
Specifically, the scheduler will produce the contractor's initial schedule and then update the schedule throughout construction. They will also use the schedule to analyze the impact of change orders, delays and any other schedule disruptions.
The scheduler works very closely with the project manager, project superintendent and subcontractors during the preparation and updating of the construction schedule. Because of this, the scheduler must possess good communication skills. He or she will continually be producing critical scheduling information for the project team's use, very much like an accountant produces financial information for a company's managers. Therefore, the scheduler maintains important support role to the project superintendent, project manager and all other parties associated with the project.
Production scheduling aims to maximize the efficiency of the operation and reduce costs. Companies also use backward and forward scheduling to allocate materials and machinery resources, to plan human resources, production and construction processes and to purchase materials. Forward scheduling is planning the tasks from the date resources become available to determine the building date or the due date. Backward scheduling is planning the tasks from the due date or required-by date to determine the start date and/or any changes in capacity required.
