Hi Hive Lovers
Someone planned everything. The most fundamental planning in doing something is determining what, when, where, who, and how to do it.
Our team is working on a project to fill a small area to build an additional building to the left of our main office building, and it should be completed in two days.
This stockpiling project has been agreed to be completed by a trusted partner using only one medium-sized dumptruck. We had to save money by leasing more than one dumptruck for the project because of our limited budget.
The stockpiling project requires about 15 dumptrucks of land, and the consequence is that only 1 dumptruck is used for that much soil volume, which takes longer to complete and will take 2 working days.
The stockpiling project is progressing slowly because the location where the source of the stockpile is located is far from the edge of the city. We estimate that the dumptruck can only make 7-8 trips in a single day. So for the 15 dumptrucks, it will be fulfilled in 2 days, and it will only be done during the day.
Work on the landfilling project has progressed later than the estimated time of completion because the only dumptruck used for the project was mired in unstable soil. We have lost more than 6 hours of time because of that incident.
Half of the dumptruck's right rear tire seemed to have sunk into the unstable soil, and the wheels could only turn in place. The dumptruck only roared loudly but didn't move forward at all.
The problem lies in the technique of hoarding. The dumptruck driver looks to be around 60 years old. He was a senior in his job and should have been very experienced for such a stockpiling project.
Previously, he had been informed and knew that the land around it was still unstable and had the potential to sink. It turned out that he had miscalculated and forced the truck to go too far into the landfill area.
He should have finished the dump at the front of the area first, and that would have cleared the way for his dump truck to roll backwards gradually.
The dumptruck driver eventually had to contact one of his friends for the evacuation process, but that too was slow. He did not prepare a rope that was sturdy enough to pull the muddied dumptruck.
They had also spent about two hours looking for straps to help pull the immobilized dumptruck. Finally, before afternoon, the mired dumptruck could be pulled out by another dumptruck.
For that day, the dumptrucks could only transport and stockpile a total of 4 dump trucks of soil. It was a big loss for the timeline of our building project.
We really have lost our precious time because of the dump truck driver's impatience. A stalled stockpile project will take more time, and that will affect the subsequent stages.
Someone who plans something must really take everything into account and not take any risks in order to avoid trouble. No matter how small the problem, it will always take time.
You can't gamble with time. Time will still win, and you will always be left behind whenever there is a problem. Calculate and consider everything, even the smallest things, so you never lose your precious time.
