Case Study 5: Accelerating Drywall Installation in the Metro Office Complex Project After a DelayBackgroundThe Metro Office Complex Project involves constructing a large commercial building that has encountered significant delays in the drywall installation phase at day 1. These delays are attributed to supply chain disruptions and an unexpected shortage of skilled labor, putting the project's overall timeline at risk. The project management team is tasked with developing a strategy to accelerate the drywall phase to recover lost time without compromising safety or work quality.ObjectiveTo quantitatively analyze the impact of the delays on the drywall installation phase, propose multiple recovery strategies, and calculate the additional costs and time required to implement these strategies efficiently.Assumptions and Data ProvidedTotal Drywall Area: 288,000 uq. fl.Drywall Crews: 4, each originally expected to install 800 sq. ft. of drywall per day.Original Timeline for Drywall Work: 90 dayz.Delay Duration: 10 days.Labor Hours Available per Day per Crew: $ hours, 5 workers per crew.Cost of Labor per Hour per Worker: $25 regular, $37.50 overtime (1.5x regular rate).Cost of Hiring an Additional Crew (Including Training): $7,000.Investment in Automated Drywall Tools per Crew: $15,000.Daily Productivity Increase with Automated Tools: 25%.Average Cost of Drywall Materials per sq. fl:- $2.Estimated material Cost Increase for Expedited Drywall Delivery: 15% of lost productivity materialTasks:Quantitative Impact Assessment:Calculate the financial impact of the 10-day delay, including lost labor productivity and increased material costs.Recovery Plan Development Case Study 5: Accelerating Drywall Installation in the Metro Office Complex Project After a DelayBackgroundThe Metro Office Complex Project involves constructing a large commercial building that has encountered significant delays in the drywall installation phase at day 1.
