In a sector as demanding as lifting, handling, and transport, effective management of human and material resources is a key element of success. Given the diversity of tasks and the scale of the equipment involved, planning becomes a crucial issue. PlanningPME, our scheduling management solution, is an essential ally for companies operating in this complex field.

The challenges of the sector: complexity and organizational rigour

The lifting, handling, and transportation sector requires meticulous organization. Every day is a race against time to ensure:

  • Availability of qualified teams
  • Deployment of specialized equipment
  • Performing diverse tasks

Adding to these operational challenges are recurring unforeseen events: sick leaves, workplace accidents, holidays, and equipment repairs. Without an effective tool, the risks are numerous: missed deadlines, poor resource utilization, and high operational costs.

In the lifting, handling, and transportation sector, companies manage a wide variety of tasks on a daily basis. Here are some examples of tasks scheduled using PlanningPME:

  • Crane lifting : installation of heavy equipment such as sanitary blocks.
  • Towing : specialized assistance for vehicles.
  • Transportation of materials : installation and recovery of containers, particularly for partners.
  • Specific handling : delicate missions such as transporting granite.

Companies have an impressive fleet of equipment that must be planned precisely:

  • Heavy cranes
  • Specialized mini-cranes
  • Trucks and trailers
  • Additional tools : cradles, spreaders, vacuum lifters, vans

Why choose PlanningPME?

FAQ

PlanningPME offers several key advantages such as:

  • Centralized visibility : tasks, human and material resources accessible at a glance
  • Improved reactivity : rapid rescheduling in case of unexpected staff shortages or equipment breakdowns
  • Resource optimization : using expensive equipment, such as cranes or trucks to their maximum potential
  • Simplicity : intuitive interface facilitating daily management and reducing errors

Thanks to its real-time management system, PlanningPME quickly integrates information related to lack of personnel (holidays, sick leaves, accidents, etc.). Once the absence is recorded, the software suggests alternative solutions by assigning another available and qualified resource to the task in question. This ensures business continuity without disrupting existing schedules.

Absolutely. PlanningPME is designed to manage complex equipment fleets, such as cranes, trucks, aerial work platforms, and many more. Each piece of equipment can be recorded with its specific characteristics (type, capacity, availability) to facilitate its assignment to tasks. For example, a job requiring an LTM 1450 crane will be automatically scheduled based on the availability of this resource.

Yes, PlanningPME is highly customizable to fit the unique needs of each business. You can configure task categories, specific skills, resource types, and also reasons of absence to perfectly match the realities of your business. This flexibility ensures optimal use of the software, regardless of the size or requirements of your company.
