Material shortages,
schedule delays
Short, late or wrong-type materials, slow purchase approvals and opaque warehouses... force the site to stop and wait, raising costs and delaying the schedule.
Real-world scenario
Materials not arriving on time, wrong types delivered and slow purchase approvals make the site stop and wait, raising costs and delaying the schedule.
Sudden material shortage
Main materials are insufficient, no idea when they arrive, no alternative plan.
Supplier delivers late
Delivery misses commitments, wrong types, quality not met.
Slow purchase approval
Many levels, missing information and incomplete records take time.
Inventory not known
No idea of real stock in which warehouse or project, leading to over- or under-ordering.
Site stops and waits
Material shortage forces labor adjustments, extra cost and schedule delays.
