Managing Physical Resources
In the management of a construction project, the supervisor is responsible for the management of the resources that will be utilized to construct the project. The physical resources includes manpower; materials, tools and equipment; the construction site itself; dollars; and time. This chapter begins to develop an understanding of some tools and techniques for managing these resources. Manpower management means that the supervisor is responsible for upholding all company policies among all of the members of the workforce. The principle for the supervisor is having the proper materials—the right materials, in the right condition, in the right quantity, in the right place, at the right time—in order for the craft workers to be able to conduct their assigned work. The supervisor should know that, in financial terms, cash is a resource and one that must be managed with the same degree of care and effectiveness.
