Supplying construction and infrastructure.
Contractors, civil works and public agencies buy cement against project schedules that move. TwoSuns holds the committed tonnes, the grinding and dispatch plan and the position of the account against each other.
The organizations behind a project order
Much of the cement leaving the plant is consumed by a project with a start date, a contract structure and an engineer specifying the class. Most project tonnes reach the site through a ready-mix or precast producer, and direct supply to a contractor is normal on site-batched works and on bagged consumption. The buying decision sits in several organizations at once, and each of them can change what the plant is asked to produce. Ready-mix and precast producers that serve these projects are covered on the Concrete and Precast page.
What the plant is committed to once the order is accepted
Each commitment below is made by a commercial function and met by an operational one. The plant is measured against all of them at the same time.
Where the project commitment stops matching what the plant will ship
These failures happen because the commercial commitment and the state of the plant are read in separate systems, on different days, by people who each hold part of the picture.
- A project slips and the committed tonnes move a month, with no revision reaching grinding or packing
- Dispatch sequences loads by truck availability rather than by the delivery windows sales committed to
- A clinker or mill change shows in free lime, fineness and early mortar strength days before anything reaches the accounts already loading against a project
- Delivery notes and conformity records for a consignment are assembled weeks later for the project file
- Retention and certified progress are tracked outside the account, so exposure on a project is read late
- The account team and the plant hold different versions of the tonnes and windows promised, and neither is the record
The project schedule and the plant on one plan
When a programme date moves, the committed tonnes, the delivery windows and the exposure on the account move with it inside one governed enterprise context. The revision reaches grinding, packing, dispatch and the account team on the same day, and each function keeps its own authority.
What changes in practice
- A project date change moves the committed tonnes in the plan before the week is scheduled
- Dispatch sees which loads carry a delivery window a customer can hold the plant to
- Delivery notes and conformity records are attached to the consignment as it ships, not assembled for the project file later
- Retention and certified progress sit with the account, so exposure on a project is read as it builds
- Technical queries from site reach process and quality staff with the consignment history attached
- Every commitment carries its owner, its approval chain and the reason it was made
