Short term programmes should....

Contain the level of detail required for the short duration, it may be brief but more than likely to be very detailed to ensure all aspects are covered.

Identify who is the lead responsible to each activity, plus those who have input / influence so that the relevant parties (people / companies) know where their input is required and when.

Regular meetings with the respective foremen/managers whether its weekly or daily briefing. Everyone should advise the others what they will be doing on the day / week so that discussion, coordination and agreement takes place at the meeting face to face. Managers should bring their weekly programme / plan / strategy info to share.

Byproduct of these meetings is for the managers to organise sufficient operatives, materials, plant to carry the works out.

Monitor and progress the programme, recording actual dates achieved and agree mitigation measures to recover any lost time. When activities are in delay, there is literally no time to apportion blame, move forwards discuss what can be done.

All parties must own the programme. It is a guide / tool that everyone has a major influence and must take ownership and responsibility for it.
