What does a site and yard operations manager do in a project-based company?
A site and yard operations manager turns the plan into daily work on site, in the yard, offshore, in the mine or on the shop floor. On a building project, this role is also called the site manager or construction manager. ProjectVIEW ERP links each daily log, crew, machine and material request to the BoQ or BoM item, as well as to the WBS activity and the cost code. Actual cost and progress against the budget are therefore visible every day, not at month end. It works in the same way for a building, a hull, an offshore campaign, a mine or an engineer-to-order product.
- Plan the work: turn the master schedule into look-ahead and daily plans before the work starts, for crews, machines and materials.
- Run execution: then coordinate own teams and subcontractors, and record progress every day.
- Control cost: finally, compare actual cost and progress with the budget, and act on variances.

Talk to our expert
Questions about your role or your industry? Talk to a subject-matter expert who implements ProjectVIEW ERP.
How is daily progress captured?
Site, yard and field teams record daily logs, progress, labor, machine hours and material requests in ProjectVIEW ERP, both online and offline. The data then synchronizes to the office and updates cost and progress per item.
How do I see labor productivity per work package?
Daily activities are linked to BoQ or BoM items and cost codes, as well as WBS activities. Productivity is then measured as output per labor hour and compared with the cost recipe.
How are material requests handled?
A request is linked to the item and also to the activity. When stock exists, it becomes a stock issue. Otherwise, a purchase request goes to procurement.
Which KPIs does a site and yard operations manager get?
Actual against budgeted cost, measured progress, CPI and SPI, as well as resource utilization and subcontractor performance, per project and work package.
Which industries does this cover?
Construction, shipbuilding and repair, marine and offshore, mining and quarrying, as well as project-based manufacturing. The same execution control logic also applies in each, whether the scope is a BoQ, a BoM or a work package.
