Humans are central to manual workflow updates in modular construction field services, from tracking to managing information. While manual processes were previously the norm, companies now have better options fitting for today’s more complex projects.
Manual updates prevent construction teams from operating at their optimal productivity and accuracy. Below, we describe the inefficiencies and errors associated with manual updates:
Human Errors
Manual updates are prone to human errors at every workflow process step. This includes data entry mistakes, such as typographical errors, incorrect measurements, and improper labeling, as humans must enter each piece of information, leaving room for compromise on overall quality.
Furthermore, inconsistent procedures between team members mean no one is in a uniform agreement regarding updates. This can make it difficult for team members to amend record-keeping.
Slower Processes
Manually updating records and documents takes more time than automated systems, even though team members may need this critical information quickly. Manual entry can also cause bottlenecks and lead to delayed communication.
Unclear Visibility
Manual updates are not instantaneous, so team members cannot access real-time data and likely work with outdated or incomplete information. Furthermore, physical documents or digital files may not be easily accessible to team members, making collaboration difficult.
Higher Costs
Manual update errors can be costly, resulting in delays, rework, or extra personnel.
