Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Develing examples to demonstrate Volume Lags and Point-to-Point dependencies I have realised that it also could be used to demonstrate indirect resource dependencies.


Reviewed scheduling fragment was with two activities and one dependency. It is easy to imagine real examples when activity A performs preparation for activity B and must be continuously ahead with defined Volume: 20m, 10m3, 10 items, etc.

Technologically, without considering resource requirements, this example looks SIMPLE.

Alex,

In your post there is a link to another post - Point-to-point relationships, the illustration make it easy to understand how to create these links. By far the best I have seen.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Be reminded that point-to-point does not means continuous but discrete.

  • 2.3.5 Continuous precedence relations Hajdu (2015) has also shown that point-to-point relations suffer from the same drawback as end point relations, in that they control only the end points of the fragments ...

On the other hand Spider Project materials production and consumption can be used to model continuous feed without the end points relations drawback; special materials must be created for any two activities linked this way.

So easy!
