Electrical Work Pack A is due to finish on schedule.
Not all the specified cable is on site yet.
A Discipline Lead knows there's a heavier drum in the warehouse — allocated to Work Pack B, still months away.
Using it now means the trench closes today, and three other work-fronts stay open instead of standing idle.
In the moment, it's the obvious call.
Months later, the correct cable for A finally arrives.
Only then does it become apparent: that drum had been selected because Work Pack B's future load required its higher capacity.
Now there are three costly options:
• Accept the limitation and leave Work Pack B under-spec for its future load.
• Rework Work Pack A and procure replacement cable for B.
• Restore both to their original specification, accepting the delay and additional cost.
Nobody made a bad decision. Nobody could see the whole picture.
Substitutions aren't the problem. Invisible substitutions are.
In WorkClear, that same material decision is visible the moment it's made — on the mobile in his pocket:
• which work pack the stock was engineered for
• what it was being held for, and why
• who authorised the substitution, at what level, and why
The field still makes the call. WorkClear makes sure nobody downstream finds out too late.
