Operational excellence in construction means optimizing costs and time while adhering to quality specifications. At oculai, we consider process optimization on three levels:
- Cross-process optimizationOptimized timing of processes can reduce construction time by up to 25%.
- Example: Critical path at component level, working direction, parallelization
- Advantage: High optimization potential at low cost
- Disadvantage: Requires process monitoring and consistent cycle control in construction management
- How oculai helps: With oculai you can find the optimal work cycle and control the implementation
- Internal process optimizationIn order to accelerate the process itself, training can no longer be used in the current project. Instead, the focus is on implementing process standards and using productivity-enhancing tools.
- Example: Routes and logistics, productivity-enhancing work equipment, process standards
- Advantage: Direct influence on construction time, influence is easy to measure
- Disadvantage: Low optimization potential
- How oculai helps: oculai measures and compares the productivity of processes. Compliance with process standards can be monitored
- Process innovationInnovative construction methods enable a significant increase in productivity. Construction methods must be carefully selected during work preparation and subsequently checked for cost-effectiveness.
- Examples: Roll reinforcement, fiber-reinforced concrete, prefabrication
- Advantage: High optimization potential without dependence on the NU
- Disadvantage: Planning usually needs to be integrated, little prior experience of new methods
- This is how oculai helps: oculai measures the influence of processes on construction time to check economic efficiency.
