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
