Every major industry except construction uses logistics to improve
its bottom line...
Poor logistics is costing the construction industry at least
£3 billion a year according to a report -
'Improving Construction Logistics' - published by
the Strategic Forum for Construction. Additional costs arise
as a result of operatives waiting for materials, and skilled
craftsmen being used for unskilled jobs. Inadequate management of
logistics also has an adverse effect on quality, causes delays to
projects, and adds to the health and safety risks on
site.
This practical book highlights the benefits of good logistics as
well as the use of consolidation centres on projects. It shows how
reduction in transport movements, less money tied up in stock, less
waste, and the more efficient use of skilled craftsmen will reduce
the cost of projects, reduce construction time, improve quality,
reduce risks to health and safety, improve environmental
performance and generally improve the image of the industry.
The authors offer practical ways of achieving these benefits
through integrated project teams and supply chains and the
increased adoption of information technology including electronic
communications, bar coding, and electronic tagging for tracing
products. They also show how specific roles for each part of the
industry can help to improve logistics.
* Practical, clear and accessible
* First book to address logistics in construction
* Written by the industry-recognized logistics
experts
* Tackles issues of key concern: efficient use of
labour; sustainability; waste and supply chain management
