BUILD THE SCHEDULE AROUND THE PROJECT
Step 7: Define What “On Time” Actually Means For specialized freight, the delivery requirement may be more precise than simply arriving on a particular date. The shipment may need to coordinate with:
• Installation crews • Crane schedules • Rigging crews • Construction milestones
• Plant shutdowns • Production schedules • Customer appointments • Receiving personnel
• Other truckloads • Equipment commissioning • Project sequencing
