The construction and civil engineering industry is facing a serious labor shortage and an aging veteran workforce. Particularly, the "drawing review" tasks that require high levels of expertise are challenged by the concentration of work among specific employees and delays in the transmission of skills. This seminar will clearly explain specific know-how to prevent mistakes and significantly reduce the time required for drawing review tasks, even with limited personnel, as well as how to effectively utilize the latest digital tools. It is a must-attend for managers and executives struggling with excessive workloads! 【Schedule】 1: Company introduction and instructor introduction 2: Real challenges of "labor shortage" and "drawing review tasks" in construction and civil engineering * Based on issues from previous customers 3: Moving away from dependence on individuals! Three steps to streamline and standardize drawing reviews 4: Introduction of successful case studies and specific solutions proposed by Antas 5: Q&A session and closing remarks
