VISUAL SCHEDULE MANAGEMENT | FLOW SCHEDULING

On every Mortenson project, we employ flow scheduling to create a straight forward and organized experience for our customers and trade partners. Displayed in an easyto- read format, flow schedules allow trades to flow through designated areas at a common pace or ‘takt’, with handoffs serving as short-interval controls.

For P+G, our Flow Schedule will:

  • Accurately predict exact dates months ahead of time
  • Guide key decision making milestones
  • Offer enhanced communication
  • Increase schedule performance
  • Improve safety performance
  • Facilitate higher quality installation
