Steel Logistics — Piece-Count Status Board
Piece-Count Status Board for structural steel delivery and erection flow.
Three percentages tell the whole steel story: when the gaps between them widen, somebody downstream starves next week. A site buffer under ~3 days of erection rate is the early-warning threshold — compare it against the buffer-sizing tool's answer.
Formula
Note: Erection-planning estimate only. Member weights, connection capacities and tolerances for execution must come from the issued drawings, the EOR and the erection engineer — never from a generic calculator.
