AVOIDING REWORK IN CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION
FLEXIBLE AUTOMATION FOR REWORK AVOIDANCE
Even with an innovative document register and in-system collaboration capabilities, the complexity of capital construction often requires project teams to build or modify processes for document review and approval.
Many tools require offer only limited approval paths. They might be required an exact, inflexible workflow for a particular business process, or might allow only a linear approval process. Instead, a robust document control model promotes a flexible, multi-directional workflow. Review managers should be able to set parallel or alternative approvers and define processes for re-review or question responses. Reviewers should feel confident that their notes are captured in real-time, ensuring that each user not only has access to the same deliverable, but can view their peers’ markups as they’re made.
The complexity of capital construction often requires project teams to build or modify processes for document review and approval.
As an added benefit, a flexible and modular workflow model within a document control solution empowers teams to immediately identify obstacles in the process. The added visibility and accountability of a shared markup environment means every contributor knows who’s participated in the review process and which stakeholders are dragging behind. As sophisticated document control solution can equip review coordinators to automatically notify contributors for when their comments are needed, and when their notes are overdue.
While improved search, tagging, and consolidation reduces rework by ensuring teams work from an approved, final document, the added flexibility of a document control solution with configurable workflows ensures teams have those documents faster. By cutting approval times from nine days to five or even three, in-field contributors have that much more room to focus their efforts on doing the job the right way, the first time.
