The cast-ahead system is a proprietary program that is maintained on our computer network and is accessible by all project managers. It is the primary means of tracking and evaluating our staffing needs. Updated monthly by the project managers, the cast-ahead system is used to define specific staffing needs for the month and for the next six months. The input required of the project managers includes individual project names, as well as requests for specific personnel to work on these projects for a certain number of weeks. The combined input from all project managers is compiled and distributed in the form of a report to all project managers and regional management for review and discussion at the monthly cast-ahead meeting. Work overloads and/or shortfalls for specific personnel, individual offices, and disciplines are tabulated and addressed at the meeting. Where possible, these imbalances are resolved through internal shifts of personnel between offices. The objective is to balance the workload in a manner that maximizes the utilization of production staff, while ensuring that all project requirements and client deadlines are met. This tool is yet another example of the importance Kimley-Horn places on client service. The members of our project team were selected using two criteria: . Experience with similar projects .
