  • Abstract:
    This paper describes a computerized approach for collecting and processing site information that builds on the traditional superintendent's daily site report. System design considerations and features, lessons learned from field use, and future extensions are highlighted. Goals include improvements in the ease and accuracy with which field data can be recorded and processed to produce fast feedback on project status and problems. Benefits claimed for the approach include development of a coherent picture of the current status of a project and how it got there; faster response time in dealing with problems; integration of the site reporting, project planning, and project scheduling functions; an increased likelihood of schedule updating and speedier updating (thus leading to increased schedule credibility); help in dealing with claims; and documentation of experience in a form useful for future projects.
