CWICR Work Breakdown

Business Case

Problem Statement

Work items in CWICR contain aggregated resources:

  • What materials make up a concrete work item?
  • What labor categories are needed?
  • What equipment is involved?
  • How to generate detailed resource bills?

Solution

Decompose CWICR work items into their constituent resources (labor, materials, equipment) with quantities and costs.

Business Value

  • Transparency - See inside aggregated items
  • Procurement - Generate material lists
  • Scheduling - Identify resource needs
  • Cost control - Track resource consumption
