Working Smarter With an Automated Management System
Imagine being a project manager for a construction company and having to manage the construction of a major facility such as a skyscraper or a bridge. You oversee construction crews with a superintendent, foremen and various laborers who use tools and equipment to build the project. In addition to overseeing these teams, you’re also responsible for hiring subcontractors for specialized work, renting equipment, purchasing materials from suppliers, arranging for materials testing and sampling, keeping track of items installed, tracking payrolls, preparing reports and on and on. Not only does the work involve many people, but it also involves many processes and paperwork to be generated, tracked and recorded.
In the scenario above, the project manager and the team will perform several tasks as part of processes that are done repeatedly on a regular basis in a given month. As the person responsible for the successful completion of the facility, you’ll probably need some type of business document management system to keep track of the paperwork you generate on a daily, weekly and monthly basis:
In many businesses that have regular functions, routines and procedures, there’s a set of requirements or business rules that must be adhered to. These may be best management practices, industry regulations or codes. For example, a roadway contractor is required to provide traffic control devices, including message boards that let the public know that certain lanes will be closed at night or on the weekends for the work. This is a business rule or business requirement. To complete this requirement, there’s a process that must be followed:
In this scenario, there is a business process or workflow that needs to be followed to stay in compliance with the requirement. This particular process is one that will be executed on a regular basis multiple times over the life of the project. Project managers and contractors can use an automated management system to automatically initiate communications, verify approvals, track progress and send alerts before deadlines approach to keep things moving forward.
