A dedicated Task Force will be established to provide total project support. This will be led by the Project Manager who is responsible for the success of the project and ensure that all phases of the project are properly executed.

The task force utilised in the front end activities would also be used in later phases of the project, such as the design, construction and commissioning activities:

The objectives in controlling the project are to ensure
  • the project is completed on schedule and within budget.
  • the completed facilities comply with relevant contractual specifications and local government regulations.
  • proper communication are established at all levels, including Client and Consulting personnel.
2. Planning/Scheduling

The planning/schedule function supports management at all levels in the identification, scheduling and monitoring of project. Its prime planning functions include:

  • monitoring of performance compared with schedules and reporting of status to all management levels.
  • analysis of variances, recommendation of corrective action and co-ordination of replanning as required.
A master schedule is initially developed by the Project Planner. The master schedule is made up of all the important activities at project management level and establishes milestones for the major phases of the project tasks. Once the task schedules have been developed, the master schedule is revised and adjusted to reflect task objectives and their interfaces. These schedule are updated on weekly or monthly basis and submitted to Client & Consultant per Contract requirements.
