How does LCM Digital differ from the traditional Critical Path Method for process planning?
In which other application fields can LCM Digital be used?
How does LCM Digital differ from other competing products?
LCM Digital can be used successfully as a planning and control tool right from the beginning of the project. In the construction planing and realisation phase LCM Digital deliveres real benefits by involving the entire execution team in the realisation of the construction project, based on collaborative cooperation. In the preliminary phases of the project only few steps lead from the rough process to a milestone based schedule. From early project phases to operation, information is prepared in a structured manner from the overall process analysis to the production plan and shared with all parties involved.
Internal company processes can benefit from the Lean Methodology approach. By sharing transparency and clarity of process flows with all parties involved, the success of their implementation is enormously increased. A company that uses LCM Digital to manage its projects will find it easy to get started with takted organizational process structure.
In opposite to process sequencing with zero time buffer in classical process planning, the Lean Construction approach considers the control of processes via the critical resource. This allows an optimal and very stable process flow to be generated, which can be quickly and easily adapted to an actual status in the case of changes.
LCM Digital was developed on the basis of the classical activity fields of general contractors. LCM Digital can be used very effectively in all industries with possibilities for process optimization. This includes both different production phases, such as production manufacturing or production control, as well as early and late project phases in the steps from process flow-oriented overall process analysis to clear scheduled process planning.
The major asset of LCM Digital resides in the strong focus on takting, which guides a structured process from the sequencing of processes through the integration of quantities and resources and takt planning to the final process plan. The intuitive and collaborative user interface and operation facilitate rapid success. The feedback of the current data from the construction site goes directly back into the process plan, interfaces are open to external systems, comprehensive availability as SaaS and always up to date and reusable data are the basis for networked and transparent work.
