Planning Process
The planning process begins with a meeting between your PDI account representative and Project Manager. At this meeting, the team reviews project installation drawings, specifications and determines the project complexity, manpower requirements, product delivery, scheduling, and job site conditions. The installation date or timeframe is set and installers are assigned to the job. This process ensures that your furniture installation goes as you have planned and that the expectations of the installation are defined and met.
Process Management
The planning process goes beyond the site meeting. Back in our office, your product orders are tracked by your PDI Project Manager. Before your order ships, we confirm the manufacturer shipping dates and verify the dates with you to coordinate the correct timing of the project. Once your products have been shipped, we track them to be certain they arrive on time and at the correct location.
Scheduling Installations
The installation schedules are established early on in the planning phase. Once we have coordinated the orders and delivery dates, we plan the installation schedule to maximize efficiency and productivity. Factors considered include the size of the order, whether the order is being delivered to a warehouse or directly to the installation site, and what size crew is required to complete the installation successfully.
