VisiLean

VisiLean: The future of LEAN construction

Comentários: Overall, VisiLean promises us a better way to plan and manage our activities on site. It also gives us a clearer understanding on what the critical issues are and would be on site. Hence, we can make preventative measures to make sure we deliver on time.

Vantagens:

1) It improved our collaboration. The Visilean platform serves as a tool to balance out the Top Down and Bottom up planning approach. Management can overlook closely, as high-level objectives/targets are met. While, the site team though has a decentralized approach has now a unified direction. 2) It also improved our communication. We have now shifted from using unsustainable communication apps/tools such as whatsapp to the Visilean communication tool. As we log all the issues and constraints for each of the activities, we can track all information and data easily. 3) It gives us better real time Visual. As we can see in the slide, reports could be generated quickly through the Mobile App Dashboard. Everyone who are registered in the application could see quickly what the project health is as of the latest update. We have also minimized printed reports.

Desvantagens:

Even though Visilean is very advanced in terms of its idea of planning and managing construction activities towards the LEAN way of construction. There are still some limitations into its current version which prevents it from reaching how dynamic and flexible the application could become. I believe that the super user should have more flexibility in modifying the plans and interface on how the plan should look like when presented or generated as a report. The 3D/4D integration's speed should be improved as well.

The future of Lean Programming in Construction!!!!

Comentários: We have been using it to monitor the activities onsite in loading the two weeks lookahead Programmes extracting out of the main baseline programme. Proactive updates solves a lot of problem especially the consumption of time for a Planner in getting updates from various departments onsite. The tagging of individuals gives instant response for the constrained and delayed activities and helps in proactively solving issues onsite and in successful completion of the activity. Overall its a pretty good and useful tool and is quite famous among all the main contractor and the subcontractors onsite and has been used proactively used by everyone to measure the progress onsite.

Vantagens:

Its one of best tool i have used so far in monitoring the activities progressing onsite. If the tool is being used proactively by the Site team, we can make sure all planned works can be achieved on time with proactive updates, constraints driving the activities, tagging the person responsible for the access of a particular activity and so on. Overall its a very good tool and we have been using it since a year and is very popular among the site team. The Mobile access feature the best feature of Visilean wherein the engineers can update the progress of the activities live on their mobile while onsite when its either completed, stopped due to certain reason or delayed due to access and so on. Its makes life easy of every person executing the works onsite to update their daily activities rather than waiting to come back to their respective offices and update the progress like we were doing it earlier.

Desvantagens:

It still needs more features like offline updating and tracking incorrect updates etc. It has these glitches like the updates doesn't get recorded when done on the laptop/desktop but it does record when its done through the mobile platform. These things needs to be fixed. But Overall a very good option of the tool.

Review about VisiLean (7 months experience)

Vantagens:

VisiLean makes it easier for us as planners to report easily without any need to use multiple platforms at the same time. It also applies Lean philosphy to the highest, especially when it comes to the Visualization . The combination between Lean and BIM is also applied in VisiLean through the model view (I have not used it yet but I am looking forward to apply it soon). Last but not least, the scheduler view makes it easier when it comes to weekly planning and defining the associated constraints. It gives us a live update of what is happening on site which helped alot during the pandemic. VisiLean is not just useful during the pandemic but it will grow even more after due to the previously mentioned advantages it gives to the users and specefically to the planners

Desvantagens:

I do not have so much cons about the Software, but if I have to choose one I would say the PDF exported from the Platform is not actually helpful/clear. There should be some work in accordance with this point I think. Apart from that, the sytem is great and I really recommend it to every body

Application of visilean and in the study

Comentários: It is the most complete project monitoring tool I have come across and not only in the construction sector but also in the design in which I use it

Vantagens:

I really like the visualization of the processes and the rendering in images of the progress of the work in relation to time (theoretical and real)

Desvantagens:

Its price and the fact that I can't open many different small projects

Lean Collaboration

Comentários: My overall experience with VisiLean has been great. My biggest challenge had nothing to do with the software, but rather the culture and getting the engagement of the contractors and team members to work within the platform. This was more of an issue because we introduced this pilot without updates to contracts and we had some unique circumstances with the variety of projects on site that our contractors were working on, with only one piloting VisiLean. But it's very clear that when set up right early on, in terms of project expectations among the team, that engagement wouldn't be an issue. It really is an easy program to learn and collaborate in, remotely.

Vantagens:

The remote collaboration and instant updates, particularly with our COVID dispersed teams. I like that it provided a depth of data, but in a super easy to use side bar that follows you through different views. I also liked the flexibility in how to manage a schedule, whether it be in Gantt, a planner board, or to even to seamlessly export to P6, if that's necessary. The customer service is second to none and they really take the continuous improvement mindset to heart with their frequent updates.

Desvantagens:

There were some hiccups in early integration when importing a schedule and the VisiLean calendar not matching the P6 calendar, so that through some things off, but it was easily corrected. Also, their constraints log is receiving a major overhaul and will be rolled out shortly, I just wish I was able to have this update earlier on.

Visilean review

Comentários: - Best custom service i have ever experienced.
- Visilean wants feedback and really listen to it. I am very convinced that Visilean wants to be developed and contiune to improve, and they show it. Ideas and user friendly tips i give in feedback often is implemented in the near future.

Vantagens:

- Live update on phones. - Low time spent on documenting activities that goes according to planned. - That you make each subcontractor "more" responsible when they need to accept each activities 6-8 weeks before start by making it "ready".

Desvantagens:

- No view to gives you the full overview of the long term plan. (like 12 months ahead). - Todays use of colors. Ready state is good for the planner only, but during planning meeting with all contractors, look

Lean Construction

Comentários: Excellent company I was involved with bringing them into the Middle East into a tier 1 contractor who self executed the majority of the site activities

Vantagens:

Brilliant tool for connecting high level planning to the detailed day to day activities on site

Desvantagens:

The most challenging part is getting the lean process part of the culture

Construction supervisor

Comentários: -honestly i know about Visilean when i took a course on master in BIM project management in EADIC

Vantagens:

it is perfect real time construction management tools

Desvantagens:

-it is real clash detection tools -it is real time construction follow up /control/tools -it is best for visualization for construction sequence and etc.

Implementation of AI and ML in Construction Industry

Comentários: It was good experience working with VisiLean. As we are taking about implementation of AI and ML in Construction Industry. Visilean is the best Example as we can do Project Management in both formats through Schedule and connecting it to BIM model and progress can be visualized actually on the BIM Model.

Vantagens:

Progress Monitoring with help of BIM. Monitoring progress in both format through schedule and visualizing the progress on BIM Model.

Desvantagens:

Needs to work on % Progress calculations.

4D BIM with the use of Visilean Tool

Comentários: The use of Visilean in Project Management and Planning is highly commendable. It has made me to understand how to prepare schedule, input resources and monitor progress of work

Vantagens:

What I like most in Visilean is the linking of the project schedule with the 3D model

Desvantagens:

What I like least about Visilean is that it takes time to refresh a page

For those who use IT daily but not expert, intermediate user.

Comentários: Having just started using Visilean and being involved in the specific requirements for Mace I have found the system superb, we have over the last week being training our suppliers on how to use and their positive acceptance has been surprising with very few questions so all in all very good.

Vantagens:

Each task/program ref has its own section for make ready and constraint requirements, ease of use to notify others of issue's, planned activities identifying resource's and materials, live reporting meaning I can update frequently on PC and APP and reducing the number of emails being sent. Having a section for design tasks allows you to send notification to teh designer/team of design requirement and or release of final design.

Desvantagens:

At the moment none really, i am finding it really useful although in time there may be a requirement for some minor changes.

Amazing Tool to Implement Lean Construction on Complex Project

Comentários: My experience with Visilean is Amazing, Its a great tool to a project which is complex in nature which a lot of packages involved and big team required to manage a project, VISILEAN assists in outlining activity wise responsibility and its tracking is fabulous, Reporting, Documenting and Delay Analysis strategy is what is ultimate saviour when the project failed and EOTs are in place.

Vantagens:

Easy to access, Easy to understand, Not difficult like Primavera, Upto Foreman level employee can update from Mobile App, Individual responsibilty to be documented with proper roles and responsibility, Team targets and individual targets are to be met, Model Update as 4D simulation is very helpful as gets integrated to BIM.

Desvantagens:

It does not schedule the project upto forecast completion if any activity is slipped, Only reflects how delay it is on a weekly basis.

Chapter London Bridge

Comentários: To caveat the feedback in this survey, we are still trialing the software and only have one trade on site currently, therefore we may not be getting the full benefits of VisiLean. Once multiple contractors are on board we will be using the platform in a different way.
The support from
[SENSITIVE CONTENT] has been great - very quick to respond to a query and clearly taking feedback on board as the platfrom is being regularly updated.

Vantagens:

If used consistently, the platform allows all information (as built and planned activity) from one source. Previous process (excel spreadsheets) were superseded every week and as built information was getting lost.

Desvantagens:

The export function from each view could be improved to aid the transition from paper based to digital, especially in table view. Although the software allows an array of functionality, its still a bit 'klunky' at times which makes its challenging in a 'live' environment.

A game changer for real estate projects

Comentários: The experience with VisiLean has been very satisfactory

Vantagens:

We have been more inclined towards using the mobile app. Using the mobile app is very much convenient on an every day basis. Most importantly the Quality Approval workflow is very seamless. We can convey our work completion by clicking just one button on the mobile app and the Sr. Engineers get notified about the same. When it comes to the Software, it is cloud based and this helps us to access the Software as well. It is just like accessing facebook; you go to the VisiLean website, provide your credentials and boom; you have all your projects with you. The Gantt view in the Software helps us to create our schedules and also import our schedules created on Microsoft excels.

Desvantagens:

Not much cons that our company can think of, but yes; on some instances, when we work in basements where the network connectivity is an issue; it is not possible to provide the updates from mobile app. We have conveyed this to their support team (which is very friendly btw) and they have already committed to deliver it soon.

Visilean is the future of construction...

Vantagens:

Real time updates of the project - Ease of giving updates strait from job site. Mobility of apps and Great customer support and system on-boarding.

Desvantagens:

I don't really have much negative to say, every time we come up with something to improve the system it doesn't talk long and its part of a system update. They are working every day to improve the system.

Visilean - Review (SWAD Project)

Comentários: Pleasant and Developing

Vantagens:

Tagging Feature, Mobile Updating Feature,

Desvantagens:

Sorting in Gantt View needs to be improved

Why should you go with the software

Comentários: Software has a lot of significance in improving a projects performance. My overall experience was really great and the team is really supportive.

Vantagens:

BIMLean Integration works out easy with the software. It supports LPS of Lean Process. Model and Schedule can directly be imported and linked in the software itself. 4D simulation can be viewed in the software with a proper colour wheel assigned to it defining the work status. Work commitment, collaborative planning, communication and workflow are improved using the software, which helps improve project performance. Different projects constraints such as: space planning, resource planning, equipment positioning, etc. are easily identified. Software summaries the project status with PPC tracking of WWP, reason of variance mapping, constraint summary and generates progress reports with all documents submitted per activity (RFI, Quality Report, Site Photograph, etc.) in one place. It compares the planned v/s actual work at site with visual view addition. It is a handy software and is easy to use with easily accessible data. Software also has a mobile version, helping the data to be tracked from anywhere possible.

Desvantagens:

Overall the software is really great but some points from a designer's perspective could be added into the same.

VisiLean Review

Comentários: My experience has been good, having not used any software like this I was pleased how much support the VisiLean team gave in order bring me up to speed, particularly [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN].

Vantagens:

Enjoy using the different formats of the live plan in various levels of production control; Gannt in Master planning, scheduler used to lookahead as an organisation and table view used by commercial to manage personal workflow.

Desvantagens:

A task planned for week X being completed in week X-1 is not a success with respect to PPC. Rescheduling a task to today then updating its' status to complete is not a step most users would do intuitively. Sometimes find it difficult to apply multiple criteria to a filter without refreshing and applying. When you export CSVs from the table view it exports all columns, not just the ones used in the browser

Visilean review

Comentários: Visilean has been great for lookaheads and for viewing where we sit in weekly works within a certain area, it's been also very useful in tracking manpower

Vantagens:

The ease of use is great. Guys in the field find it really easy to update on the app and for me in the office on desktop the features are excellent to track all works ppc etc.

Desvantagens:

the fact it can pause or freeze sometimes during the day

Well satisfied User -Amazing Product

Comentários: Overall Rating 9/10, i love this product, it helps to monitor progress & get data, extract reports & to analyze the project .

Vantagens:

This software is easy to use, easy to monitor the progress & at same time gant view is amazing. Tagging option is another feature i love.

Desvantagens:

scheduler view is not much user friendly, especially when we have many organization & users under them

Review

Comentários: Excellent - as well as the product, the customer support has been fantastic.

Vantagens:

Ease of use, potential for it to be a single source of data, phone app.

Desvantagens:

Like to be able to scroll left to right between weeks in scheduler view and the location stays in the same place. Would like to be able to scroll 1 week at a time in phase view. Constraints to be tracked, and identify by associated trade. Unable to "commit" a task for the next week.

Mixed feedback, didn't see enough of the features used.

Vantagens:

Very visual which was great for running team meetings virtually. I also liked the mobile capabilities for updates, and the fact the whole team had access to change tasks but this wasn't functionality we really got to test as the Scottish water team didn't want it used in this manner. The support the team offered was great, I felt they were always offering to do more.

Desvantagens:

CWA didn't want us trying to integrate the software with P6 so I feel we missed out on that. I believe an update has now been made so that programms can shift backwards to the left - this was something I found frustrating so would be good to have resolved.

workability

Comentários: ok. would like it to be a bit more user friendly so the contractors would update more frequent.

Vantagens:

saves on all contractors writing elements of work on drawing at daily activity meeting.

Desvantagens:

only as good as the information put in and picking the right locations.

feature

Comentários: its much better

Vantagens:

feature meed to be additionally added, to find out location maybe drawing access will make easier to find the location talking too,

Desvantagens:

in mobile ist better work, but in web not working properly, it is not same as in mobile, and its should be same or more better in computer.

Visilean review

Comentários: It is a good system and it works well for scheduling but is quite a finicky site and could be easier to use

Vantagens:

It is very easy to see how different contractors on the construction site are doing and in what area to see if any works clash

Desvantagens:

Once a task has started it can't be deleted or a date changed or extended as there is a lot of changes when it comes to construction but Visilean tasks aren't flexible to that
