Project requirement:

The master project schedule is the tool that communicates timing and interdependancy of all tasks to

project participants. It identifies initial milestones and performance indicators, as well as target dates

for the preparation, submission, review and adjustment of all project documents. It guides analysis of risk

associated with critical project elements.

STE’s response:

The nature, size, and complexity of the project will be analyzed and an overall time frame for the delivery of the project established. Project phases will be initially identified, with time allocated to each within the overall timeframe for implementation. Sub-atctivities under each phase will be identified and detailed.
The timeframes for facility design, construction and commissioning will be incorporated into a master project schedule. This will include sub schedules for activities whose complexity or importance warrants detail monitoring. A critical path with clearly identified milestones will be established.
This methodology is essential to ensure that the projected completion date is achievable. The master project schedule submitted and approved by the Executive Director will become the baseline against which progress on all identified activities will be tracked. The project manager will identify deviations from the schedule and seek alternative solutions, using additional resources, and sequencing, methods of production and implementation, and fast-track construction alternatives to accelerate delivery and minimize schedule impacts.
The master project schedule, which will be accepted by the construction manager, is used to assess the validity and responsiveness of the construction schedule. Actual progress will be compared with the master project at regularly scheduled construction meetings to identify remedial measures required redress deviations.
