Building on the future of health
The construction of a new production facility for cancer cell therapy in Hoofddorp is a project of enormous social value. With Kropman Installatietechniek as main contractor, this facility was constructed to significantly increase the production capacity for life-saving therapeutic drugs. This marks an important step in the treatment of cancer patients and the ongoing fight against this disease.
Why was BAEKEN needed?
During the set-up phase, challenges arose around project planning. The initial planning was rejected by the client because it did not meet the contractual requirements and did not provide sufficient insight into the critical path activities. There was a need for a thorough time model that could both steer the project and create trust with the client.
How did we approach this project?
-
Planning review
After my engagement, I immediately started revising the planning. I made sure this new time model met all contractual requirements, including a closed network and a clear Critical Path Method (CPM). This not only provided an overview of key activities and milestones, but also insight into potential risks that could affect progress.
-
Monitoring and steering the schedule
After approval of the revised time model, I remained closely involved in the project to actively monitor progress. Through regular reporting and analysis, I ensured that bottlenecks were identified and addressed in a timely manner. This gave the team and the client assurance that the project remained on track, despite its complex nature and tight deadlines.
-
Improving change procedures
During the execution, it became clear that the handling of change requests could be more efficient. I improved the process by linking changes to both cost analysis- and planning scenarios. This allowed Kropman to communicate clearly and in a structured way with the client about the impact of changes, which contributed to better decision-making and smoother cooperation.
