Plan of Tomorrow and the E Light Way

The plan of tomorrow meeting (POT Meeting) is a central element in the E Light Way and lean construction implementation for E Light Electric Services. Many contractors use plan of the day meetings to determine what tasks each crew is going to accomplish during the shift and to coordinate crews. At E Light Electric we believe that this meeting can be much more effective if it is held the day before the shift so that everything can be made ready for the crews in advance of their arrival for the days work.

We base the E Light Way on three very basic principals:

1. No crew can complete 100% of any task unless they have 100% of the tools, information, and materials required for the task.
2. It is the complete responsibility of the management and supervision of the project to provide 100% of the tools, information, and materials for the crews.
3. Preplanning, prefabrication, and pre-coordination are the most effective methods to provide the crews with 100% of the tools, information, and materials.
We also have a full time scheduler who keeps management and clients informed on the progress of our work and the information used to do that is gathered at the POT meeting. This schedule is a powerful tool for superintendents and construction managers. If you have not seen the project schedule, ask to see it.
