Innovative Integration of Location-Based Scheduling, Takt Time, and Gantt Charts

Tactplan seamlessly integrates the best elements from three crucial aspects of project management planning: Location-based scheduling, takt time methodology and Gantt chart functionality. This unique fusion empowers construction teams to operate with unprecedented precision and efficiency. By leveraging location-based scheduling, tasks are aligned with specific areas, optimising flow between activities and optimising resource allocation.
Takt time principles ensure a consistent workflow, maximising productivity while minimising waste. Meanwhile, familiar Gantt chart views can serve as a bridge between traditional construction planning methods and innovative techniques, ensuring a smooth and intuitive transition. Through this harmonious mix, Tactplan elevates project management to new heights, delivering unparalleled results in workflow optimisation, budget adherence and client satisfaction.

Being in Front of the Problems

Tactplan’s location-based scheduling feature will not only optimise resource allocation and flow in the construction process, but also reveal scheduling problems early on, allowing project managers to make timely updates. This proactive approach minimises the risk of delays, ensuring projects stay on track. Being in front of the problems instead of behind them.
One of the biggest advantages of Tactplan is how easy it is to manage multiple teams (crews) on the construction site. The location-based method ensures that each team has the peace and quiet it needs to complete their work at their respective locations. There is no waiting time before they can access the site, and there are no subsequent crews impatiently ‘standing by’. The precise allocation of resources at locations is indeed the key to location-based scheduling.
