1.5 About Construction industry – General

The construction industry is the second largest industry of the country after
agriculture accounting for 11 percent of India’s GDP and also most complex
DEVELOPING STRATEGIES FOR COST AND TIME IMPLICATION ON CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AT ISOLATED AREA
Page 10
 industries. It makes a significant contribution to the national economy and
provides employment for all the citizens of India. The use of various new
technologies and deployment of project management strategies, Supply chain
Management has made it possible to undertake projects in mega scale to build
developed India. The Construction process consists of several activities where
many different participants are involved in each activity. Its is project based
Industry, where each construction project site could be considered as a
temporary organization. As well other industries, construction industry also
interested in high production efficiency while keeping the overall cost as low
as possible to increase the profitability.

Most construction projects are affected by several factors that have high impact
on the efficiency of the resource by reducing their overall productivity. This
affects quality, cost and schedule of the project. The main reason behind that is
poor management of materials, machineries and tools/ tackles. Proper
management of these important components could increase productivity
significantly. These components should be well managed through supply chain
management, in order to be successful.

The construction industry is one of the most challenging to work, in nature.

Flow of information is very complex compare to other industries, due to this
process will be affected. One of these factors is logistics which is defined as
the management of the smooth flow of materials, equipments, tools and tackles
from the point of release to the point of use. As the construction industry is
constantly developing, production costs are rising steadily. But the production
efficiency and the way of working is not developed much.

Improving Logistics and supply chain by reducing activities that do not add
value to the final product could be one possible solution to lower production
cost. Timely delivery controls 80% of the project schedule and transportation
cost of construction materials to 30% of the total construction costs.

 CHAPTER 2

LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1General

The Literature review is required in order to identify and study what has been
done earlier within the field of Logistics and Supply chain Management.
Exploration of domestic and International books and articles will create the
scientific background of work with the project.

2.2Concepts and Definitions

2.2.1 Logistics Management

As logistics is the main issue of this paper it is worth to give clear definition
of the specific concept. Hence, Logistics management (LM) is the part of supply
chain management that plans, implements and controls the efficient, effective,
forward and reverse flow and storage of goods, services and related information
between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet projects
requirements.

2.2.2 Supply Chain Management

Supply chain management (SCM) has been defined as the "design, planning,
execution, control, and monitoring of supply chain activities with the objective of
creating net value, building a competitive infrastructure, leveraging worldwide
logistics, synchronizing supply with demand and measuring performance globally
Supply chain management is an important concept which is closely related to the
main topic of this paper.

2.2.3 Material Logistics Planning

DEVELOPING STRATEGIES FOR COST AND TIME IMPLICATION ON CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AT ISOLATED AREA
Page 12
Material Logistics Planning (MLP) is defined as a practice that has been designed
to support construction projects in order to achieve planned certainty and cost
predictability. This is highly appropriate for large and complex building projects.
Material Logistics Planning deals with the proactive management of the varieties
and quantities of materials that are used. This includes supply routes, storage, use,
reuse and handling of excess materials. Supply chains and planning controls
become more complex as projects get larger. That makes logistics much more
important.

2.2.4 Logistics Techniques

As background some logistics techniques are presented in order to get better

understanding of the logistics topic. There are different logistics techniques used
by different companies in different countries. Some of these have been published
and described by WRAP (Waste & Resources Action Programme) in the report
Material logistics plan good practice guidance. These techniques follow below,

Construction Consolidation Centers

Construction Consolidation Centers (CCC) are centers that are used to supply and
distribute materials to several construction projects. These centers provide safe and
efficient material flows from supplier to the construction site which makes it an
effective supply chain management solution. The initial idea with the concept was
to supply construction projects in challenging environments such as overloaded
urban areas. Construction Consolidation Centers distribute materials in a right
time, to the right place and in the required quantity.

Just-In-Time Delivery

Just-In Time (JIT) delivery relates to frequent deliveries in work packages or loads
delivered in time for usage. That helps to perform the next task without suffering
from any delay. The best way of doing that is through a Construction
Consolidation Centers or by suppliers themselves. Advantages with Just-In-Time
deliveries are that it reduces on-site storage of materials, reduces the risk of
damage of materials kept on site and even reduces risk for safety incidents.

Demand Smoothing

Demand smoothing (DS) is a way of looking on the project activity plan as the
whole and identifying how those activities could be balanced in order to reduce the
DEVELOPING STRATEGIES FOR COST AND TIME IMPLICATION ON CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AT ISOLATED AREA
Page 13
amount of resources needed for transport, materials and labor to manage the actual
task.

2.3 Third Part Logistics

On site construction logistics is an important and often underestimated topic within

the construction industry. Third part logistics (3PL) companies were the first who
realized possibilities for financial benefits by focusing on logistics issues earlier in
planning stage. The main point with third part logistics services is to create a safe,
clean and effective workplace where contractors and subcontractors do not need to
transport their materials.

PLANNING AND SCHEDULING FOR SAVING TIME

AND COST

1. PROJECT SCHEDULE –

To achive the project within the time and cost we have prepared the following
schedule and started monitoring base on it.

The schedules are as below from S-0 to S-9

1.1. CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE (S-0)

Base on the project duration and milestone dates given by client we
have prepared the following project schedule for this project.

 1.3. SCHEDULE OF MILESTONE (S-2)

1.4. SCHEDULE OF PLANT AND MACHINERY (S-3)

Construction equipment is indispensable in the execution of modern high
cost, time – bound massive construction projects. It saves manpower, which is
becoming ever more costly and demanding. It improves productivity and
quality. Equipment planning for a project aims at identifying the construction
tasks to be undertaken by mechanical equipment.

 1.5. SCHEULE OF STAFF (S-4)

1.6. SCHEDULE OF MANPOWER REQUIREMENT (S-5)

The project manpower planning primarily focuses on determining the size of

the project workforce, its structuring into functional groups and worker’s team
and scheduling the manpower. To determine the number of workers needed to
perform a given job in the specified time, data- wise forecasting of the workers
requirements for accomplishing the project work, and finally, organizing the
planned work.

DEVELOPING STRATEGIES FOR COST AND TIME IMPLICATION ON CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AT ISOLATED AREA
Page 22
 1.7. SCHEDULE OF MATERIAL REQUIREMENT (S-6)

Materials management is an important element in project planning and control.

Materials represent a major expense in construction, so
minimizing procurement or purchase costs presents important opportunities for
reducing costs. Poor materials management can also result in large and
avoidable costs during construction. First, if materials are purchased early,
capital may be tied up and interest charges incurred on the excess inventory of
materials. Even worse, materials may deteriorate during storage or be stolen
unless special care is taken. For example, electrical equipment often must be
stored in waterproof locations. Second, delays and extra expenses may be
incurred if materials required for particular activities are not available.
Accordingly, insuring a timely flow of material is an important concern of
project managers.

1.8. SCHEDULE OF DIRECT COST (S-8)

Base on the working direct cost other than overheads and which is require for
execute the boq items derived first for base price.

1.9. SCHEDULE OF INDIRECT COST (S-9)

Indirect cost includes the overhead cost and fixed cost for the project.

It has been decided that the material which has to procure from Main land is to be
finalized by central material procurement department of Larsen and toubro.

The requirement is to be given by site planning team within the require time frame

Since its huge material to be transported from Main land to the island ,The timely
completion of project scope is 80% depend upon the material transportation.

Also there are some machinery’s which also need to transport from main land due
to non-availability of such equipment’s at isolated island.

Plant and machinery to be deploy from company assets.

For major materials source has been finalized by assuring the quantitative and
qualitative requirements.

 CHAPTER 5

LOGISTIC PLAN AND ROUTE SURVEY

Since the project is located at a remote location, the transportation of materials to

site location is one of the key drivers for the success of the project. Hence the plan
was divided into two stages:-

1. Identification of agency
2. logistics activities.

Transportation of Major Material.

 Cement and Steel- Shipment of cement from Chennai to Portblair upto site
delivery by TCI Seaway-
o Local collection from Ultratech/J.K. to yard
o Unloading/ Loading at port.
o Sea freight from Chennai port to port blair port.
o From Port Blair port to site delivery.
 Aggregate-
o Source Location- SIVA agencies, Tuticorin, Tamilanadu
o Vessel Details- Allcargo shipment services. Vessel name- Allcargo
Susheela.(transportation from crusher to tuticorin port to carried out
by SIVA Agencies.
o Delivery from port Blair Port to site –faremax transport services.
 Sand-
o Source-Rushikulya river, Gopalpur, Odisha.
o Transportation from Odisha to Kolkata port by road.
o Vessel details from Kolkata port-Allcargo Shipment Services. Vessel
name- Allcargo Lakshmi

DEVELOPING STRATEGIES FOR COST AND TIME IMPLICATION ON CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AT ISOLATED AREA
Page 28
ll the procurement activities such as given below, are routine activities of any
procurement procedure, but main point which was suggested to have a more
emphasis on back to back arrangement on delivery front so as to optimize the
material flow, looking at the long duration of the project, because generally in
siemens, considering the seller’s market in power related equipments, PO ‘s are
placed for total qty and material is lifted in one lot.

a) Vendor selection
b) Vendor approval
c) Quotation approval
d) Approval for technical parameter
e) Final negotiation and order placement.

All the logistics related activities are to be divided into following parts, such as

a) Logistics strategy formation,

b) Finalization of scope of activities,
c) Finalization of monitoring mechanism
d) Implementation of logistic methodology.

 CHAPTER -7
IMPLEMENTATION OF LOGISTIC SYSTEM
For effective implementation of logistics arrangement for our project, we have
adopted the standard operating procedures .

We have set the separate team at Mainland as well as in island for monitoring and
keeping the follow-up. This system help us to expedite the procedure and timely
availability of material at site.

The main issue was to how to implement the logistics arrangement. For this
following steps were suggested

1. detailed discussion with all the partners,

2. formulation of sop’s and authority matrix.

Based on these suggestions, a detailed discussion was conducted with both the
representatives of TCI as well as TCI seaways about the smooth functioning of
total logistic arrangement.
SOP’s (standard operating procedures) were formalized covering all the activities
related to material movement and responsibilities of each channel partner were
indicated including the responsible person.

Main features of these SOP’S were.

1. After material is ready at supplier’s end, inspection call will be raised.
3. L&T will issue a dispatch instruction to the supplier with a copy to TCI
for dispatching the material to Chennai.
4. L&T will advice the TCI about the complete weight and vol along with the
type of vehicle to be placed.
5. TCI ltd will take the material to Chennai and will hand over to TCI seaways.
6. TCI seaways will move the material from Chennai to portblair and will hand
over the material at the stores.
7. All type of loading / unloading of material after getting the material from
supplier, will be responsibility of the TCI and TCI seaways.
8. TCI Seaways will load the material in Chennai in the first available ship and
accordingly intimate the L&T about the date of sailing.
9. The average speed of truck/trailer will be considered as 250 kms per day and for
shipping time from Chennai to port Blair max time will be four days

 CHAPTER-8
CONCLUSION

Due to intricate planning, and well before time ordering of materials the activities
of excavation and soil stabilization has been completed 100% as on today. This
was only possible due to proper material procurement planning, choosing logistic
option wisely and maintaining optimum stock (minimum two month stock) at all
times at the location. Being a remote area with limited access these factors are
major drivers in ensuring that the project is completed well within time.
