ReplyDeleteExcellent Post. Can you please also provide the typical weighting for each activity to guide the planners ?
Example: for Pump / Compressor / Blower
Chipping & Padding - 5%
Lifting & Rigging - 20%
Levelling and Grouting - 5%
First Alignment - 25%
Final Alignment - 35%
Final Check & QC Documentation Sign off - 10%
