Hi,



If you have time, try to create a procurement programme of all the materials needed at site & showing all the procurement activities. Then try to put a late finish constraint on the last activity (say material on site) based on the early start of a certain activity in your baseline programme in which this material will be used. Through this, you are indirectly linking the procurement schedule and your construction schedule.



Then try to run it in report writer grouping the activities material wise. Although it requires a lot of time updating every single activity, it is useful in the end because you can monitor each and every materials, and you will know its potential delay. And besides, it is much easier to understand because you can generate the report on tabular form.

develop

the project with all of procuremet activities



RFQ,Apprv,PO, Facbrication,Lead time,Deliv on site



assign some %wt to each and Monitor it progress



so that material should be on site as required



u can aslo make programmimg in xls



have fun

I believe in very much the same phylosophy as Omar.



I also suggest you be carefull of scheduling detail activities of which you do not have a direct means of tracking. This does not mean feedback from suppliers as I have often found this as either not forthcomming or unreliable. Without accurate feedback you may just as well not have these activities at all.

I find a Milestone ROS (Required On Site) is a handy tool as a linkage prior to the requirement for the equipment/bulk item(s) installation in the contruction schedule. The ROS MS should be lagged by whatever time it takes to receive & process particular equipment before its release to the construction/installation crews. Of equal importance to the manufacture/delivery of some equipment can be the timing of the receipt of the cerified vendor data from suppliers which impacts on the completion of design. Often the criticality of procurement items is not their delivery but the impact on engineering design if the order is placed too late. Cheers

make it easy. don’t split them, just focus on "on site" date. try to get new "on site" date from the vendor when you update your schedule.( only long lead item)



for other material that has a short lead time, no need to put in the schedule, a single bar does not help the schedule. (it just make your schedule looks nice)



It’s my opion,for your refernece

Depends upon how serious the delay of delivery of your materials would impact upon your schedule.



If delay in delivery impact is high, then I would detail the same to a sufficient level to track progress and mitigate impact.
