Every business in the world
depends on employees to make it run and flourish. Businesses need more than
buildings and inventory stacked to the rafters, in countless warehouses in
endless cities. And they certainly require more than computers humming away as
they direct the flow of bits and bytes over worldwide telecommunications
networks. Without people to oversee the buildings, manage the inventory, and
operate the computers, businesses can’t exist.
Construction projects utilize a
variety of resources, such as human resources, machinery and tools, equipment
and bulk materials, and others.
Factors such as project site location, type,
and size should be taken into account when mobilizing, utilizing, and
demobilizing resources.
Project Resources Management
includes aspects such as acquiring, handling, storing, and monitoring validity
terms for particular goods, as well as staffing, team building, and honing
interpersonal skills.
The human resources who manage
and execute project activities manipulate other resources in order to build the
product of the project. The volume of resources required and the time required
for their manipulation are key factors for achieving time and cost objectives.
Thus, productivity rates and resource consumption rates are planned and
actively monitored and controlled.
When the project reaches the end
phase, all remaining resources—people, equipment, and materials—are
demobilized. The demobilization phase can be expensive and time-consuming. When
not taken into account during the early stages of project time and cost
planning, demobilization can turn a project result from success into failure
from a business point of view.
In addition to personnel, your
project may require a variety of other important resources (such as furniture,
fixtures, equipment, raw materials, and information). Plan for these
nonpersonnel resources the same way you plan to meet your personnel requirements.
