Scope of work and description of equipment considered
Scope of work
The scope of work is clearly defined in the problem. The earthwork along with compaction, including
spreading and levelling at the dumping site should be complete by 60th
day of the start of the work
so that the site may be ready for starting the work of bitumen paving. Quantities which need to be
executed are listed in tabular form :
Sl. No Item Qty Finish By
1 Cutting and dozing 100000 Cum 55th Day (approx)
2 Filling 80000 Cum 55nd Day
3 Watering 80000 Cum 56rd Day
4 Compaction in filling 80000 Cum 57th Day
5
Testing of Compaction and
rectification of problem area
Need based 59th Day
6 Dumping 20000 Cum 59 the day
7 Spreading and Levelling 20000 Cum 59th day
Following points have to be kept in mind to clearly understand the activity schedule:
Cutting and Dozing, Filling and Compaction are not series activities nor are they parallelactivities. They are staggered in such a way the todays cutting and dozing will be filled in the
same day at the required site. Watering will follow next day and compaction will follow one
day after watering. Viewed in combination this combined set of activity will take place in a 3-
day cycle.

No testing needs to be done for cutting and dozing activity. However, Compaction testing isrequired and if compaction is found to be not satisfactory then another round of compaction
will follow. Hence it is necessary to complete the earthwork sufficient time before of 60th
day to allow for testing and another round of compaction, if necessary.
Fallout for not adhering to the given schedule may be as follows:-
1. Delay in Pavement works will cause either undue pressure on the Paving team to completetheir works ahead of schedule or delay in the project, both of which are not desirable.
2. It will lead to the increase in storage cost of bitumen as bitumen will be procured muchahead of start of paving work and will be required to be stock for the additional delay time.
3. Increase is deployment time of earthwork machinery thus increasing the deployment costs,operational cost and depreciation cost.
4. Also, arrangement for the machinery needed for paving work will be done before the 60 thday. Any delay will require the paving machinery to remain idle for the additional time by
which the earthwork has been delayed.
Planning for the equipment
1. The average height of the area where cutting is to be carried out is 0.75 m as mentionedabove. For cutting activity generally 4 type of equipment are available Bulldozer, Shovel,
Dragline and Clamshell. Bulldozer is generally suitable for cutting and removing earth in
cuttings which is not the case with this project hence this is not suitable equipment for this
project. Dragline maybe used for cutting at or below the level of equipment hence we will
not choose this option as well. Use of clamshell is also restricted as it is most suitably used
when the cutting is involved in the vertical range. Therefore in our case, use of Shovel
-

5/16
makes the most sense. Shovels of various sizes are available. This is an airport project, which
is generally undertaken in reasonably big cities; hence we can assume that Shovels of
various bucket sizes and makes are available whether crawler mounted or tyre mounted.
The terrain is generally flat (average ht 0.75 m) but cutting and dozing along with
subsequent filling will lead to lot of loose soil accumulated on the top surface so will choose
shovel with 1 cum bucket size mounted on crawlers.
2. As far as earth moving equipment is concerned, proximity with the city can be used toarrange for dumper truck, preferably with 4-Wheel Drive due to the specific site condition as
mentioned in para (1.). These trucks will facilitate the dumping of 20000 cum of excess soil
to the site 3 km away.
3. At the dumping site, fine and precise levelling is not a high priority so any economicalspreading and levelling method can be used. In our case we will select tractor mounted
scrappers for levelling this site.
4. Dozing at the Runway site requires good finish and precision so it is better to use Bulldozer.Also the output of Bulldozer is much more than tractor mounted scrappers. Bulldozers come
in varying blade sizes and a size of 4.0 m or larger may be used on the site for uniform
levelling.
5. Watering arrangement can be done using either the tractor-mounted type sprinklers ortruck-mounted type sprinklers. We will choose Truck mounted Sprinklers because of more
output and availability near the site.
6. It may be reasonably assumed that the soil on the main site is cohesive in nature. Withcohesive soils, Sheep-foot roller is the best alternative. Also it is required to compact 3000
cum of sand supplied on the site and in this case we can arrange for one Vibratory Roller.

Assumptions while calculating the project cost:-
a) Machine maintenance cost is 10% of Hourly Operation Cost for all type of machines.b) Allowance of break down is 20 % for important machinery such as Shovels, Dozers etc. While
10% allowance has been made for other machines.
c) No depreciation cost is applicable for hired machinery. However, machine is to bemaintained in working conditions by the company, whether hired or owned.
d) 20% provision for accounting of sick days, Leave etc has been made for operators ofimportant machines such as Shovel, Bulldozer etc
e) 10% allowance has been made for operators of other machines such as Dumper Trucks,Watering Trucks etc
f) All machinery is locally available and can be hired at competitive rates from the nearby city.g) There is no need for replacement of machinery during the project as the operations are for a
short duration of 60 days only.
h) Machinery remains idle for sole reasons of operator unavailability and site conditions and noother circumstances will lead to idling of machinery during the 60 day period.
i) Cost of testing of quality parameters and labour cost is insignificant compared to cost ofmachine procurement and running and hence these costs are not accounted for in the
calculations for arriving at the total cost of the project.
j) There are no performance incentives for completing the tasks ahead of time.k) Cost of transportation of the machinery to the site is same whether it is hired or owned.l) Cost of transportation of the machinery is very small compared to the operational cost
hence it can be neglected.

Material management concepts and their applicability in given examples
LEAD TIME
Lead time is the time elapsed between the raising the material demand on site and the point
of time when the material arrives on the site for consumption.
It comprises of following:-
Time taken to raise the demand by the consuming department Time taken by Materials Management Department to decide that the material is to be
purchased.
Time taken for the selection of the supplier, negotiating and fixing the price and placingthe order.
Time required by the supplier to arrange for the material Time required for the transportation and receiving the material in the storage area Time taken for inspection and testing of material if necessary. Time required by the Materials Management Department to deliver the material on site.
SAFETY LEVELOften it is seen that due to unavoidable circumstances, the replenishing of materials get
delayed than planned time. Due to this delay in replenishing of materials, the work will be
stopped for want of material if there is no provision of Safety Level. Safety Level is the
minimum level of storage which is needed to be maintained at all points of time. Materials
should be withdrawn from the safety stock only sparing and whatever debit has been taken
should be replenished at the first opportunity. Re-ordering should be done well in advance
so that by the time the inventory levels reach safety level, the replenishment has arrived.

EOQEOQ is the ordering quantity for which total cost of managing the inventory shall be
minimum. It is a function of ordering cost and holding cost.
ROLRe-order level is the level of stock at which order is placed such that the stock is replenished
by the time consumption of materials brings down the stock to safety level.ROL ensures that
the safety stock is used only during emergencies.
For this particular problem, EOQ will be calculated as follows:
Economic Order Quantity (Q) is given by the formula:-
Q =
Where
A = annual demand in terms of units.
Q = Lot size ordered at a time in units.
P = Price of material per unit.
H = annual inventory carrying cost in Rs. per Rupee of the inventory.
S = Ordering cost (i.e. cost of placing one order) in Rs.
Cost of bitumen = Rs. 49.50 per litre of bitumen (source: Schedule of Rates of Indian Railway2005)
-
8/13/2019 Ncp 24
12/16
Assumptions made are as follows:-
Excise tax = 12%, VAT = 4%, Other taxes = 3 % - each tax applicable on basic price
Cost of Transportation = 22000/- per trip per truck containing approx 10000 litres ie. Rs
2.2/litre
Cost of loading/unloading = 2% of basis cost Inventory carrying cost = 3% of the on-site price of bitumen One time ordering cost(S) = Rs. 8000/- per order.
A = 1,50,000 litres
(P) Total cost of bitumen per litre = 49.50(1+12/100+4/100+3/100) + 2.2 + 49.50*2/100
= Rs 61.10
H = 61.10*0.03/61.10 = Rs 0.03 per litre
S = Rs 8000 per order
Hence Economic order quantity will be:-
Q =
= 25586 litres , say 25000 litres
EOQ = 25000 Litres

Plan for Ordering and Replenishing of bitumen
Lead time = 45 days
Consumption Rate = 150000 litres in a period of 30 days = 5000 litres per day
Number of orders = 150000/25000 = 6

Total cost of the project
Total cost of the project = Machinery Cost + Material Cost
= 38,50,200 + 92,36,000
= Rs 1,30,86,200/-
Logistics for conveyance of bitumen to the site
Logistics for the conveyance of bitumen should be decided as per the site conditions. In this
particular case, every day the consumption of bitumen is 5000 litres which is approximately 5 T per
day. For such infrequent use of machinery, it may be economical to use on-site machinery such as
Truck based tippers already employed for earthwork.
Total Cost of the Project = Rs 1,30,86,200/-

Assumptions and their Basis
The rate of bitumen is taken from Schedule of Rates2005 of Indian Railway.
Ordering cost and material handling cost is based on own work experience.
The material is replenished instantaneously after the expiry of lead time. Consumption rate is uniform i.e. 5000 litres per day. There is no planning for safety stock as supply of materials is assured and consumption rate
does not change during the project.
Cost of testing of materials is negligible and hence not accounted for in the calculation.
Recommendations:
1. Cost of mobilisation of machinery should also be included in working out the project cost asgenerally it is a sizable fraction of the total cost. However, it is difficult to work it out unless
the place where the machinery is idling is specified, route details and distance chart
provided and details of octroi charges etc are made available.
2. Cost of material testing and on-site quality control/monitoring should also be accounted forin the calculations.
3. The total storage capacity has been given as 50000 cum. However, no break-up is providedto define the safety stock out of the total capacity. This data should have been provided.
4. Storage area should be such that Supply should be taken on one side and material issuedfrom opposite site. It will ensure first-in first-out consumption such that bitumen supplied
first is used first thereby preventing wastage of material on account of expiry of shelf-life.
5. Cost calculations cannot be viewed in isolation and should be linked with activity planning.Therefore, a CPM chart should be made first and project cost should also include the
allowance for possible delay in each activity.
