Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we finalise the project

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.

Dear friends,

Can anyone explain me the steps to make an activity resource constrained in P3.

Suppose there are 2 activities and the precedence relationship is Start-to-Start.Both the activities wants to use the same resource

For example, ACT1 - Activity 1 - 5d
ACT2 - Activity 2 - 4d - SS ACT1

Resource is JCB with 1 units/MD

How this will affect the scheduling.

Thanks Indeed.

Renju

You mention the resources per activity is revised. May I know it is: -
- change resources; or
- availble quantity from the pool is revised; or
- budget quantity per activity per resouces revised; or
too many options, please specify.

Hi,

Gotta small problem to be solved urgently.

I have a programme of 7000 activities. I have resource-loaded the activities (e.g. Carpenter, Steel Fitter, Mason, Helper, Machine Operator, JCB, Tower Crane, etc.). I make updates on the programme every week. The programme is showing a delay of 15 days. I need the revised resources for the updated activities.

Now here is the problem -
When I generate a Resource-Report, I get the same number of resources per unit time period as of the baseline programme. I’m not interested in the original resource planned before the start of the project. I’m interested in the revised resource required for the updated programme and the project as a whole.

Can anyone advice asap.

As you should expect, Act 1 gets the resource first as default priority in the Priorization Tab in levelling is Late Start then Total Float...unless you want to nominate different priorities in which case you can control which resource you wish to get first use of the resource.
