Scheduling Chaos: Juggling access for various teams (fiber optics, tower riggers, etc.) leads to conflicts and delays.
- Permitting Maze: Securing permits in urban areas with limited space and complex regulations (government/defense zones) is a lengthy process.
- Tech Talent Gap: Finding skilled workers for new technologies, especially in remote areas, hinders progress and quality.
- Safety Tightrope Walk: Working at heights or with hazardous materials demands strict safety protocols to avoid accidents, project delays, and legal issues.
- Unforeseen Curveballs: Unexpected weather, hidden utilities, or geographical challenges can disrupt the project schedule.
Solutions:
- Proactive Stakeholder Engagement: Early collaboration with all the concerned authorities and landlords to streamline the permitting process.
- Upskilling Initiatives and Workforce Partnerships: Invest in training programs to equip existing staff with the necessary skills for new technologies.
- Comprehensive Safety Protocols and Training: Implement robust safety protocols and regular training for all personnel involved in the project. Along with first aid training.
- Contingency Planning and Risk Management: Develop contingency plans to address potential on-site obstacles and weather disruptions. For ex. During rainy season, most common issue is water logging on sites. So we plan accordingly to not waste human capital.
Impact on Business:
Streamlined processes increased efficiency and reduced disruptions, and achieved greater productivity, which in turn led to improved customer satisfaction to 90%, and also reduced cost by minimized revisits and reworks.
