Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we deliver 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.

Saif,

Resource curve is a representative S-curve of quantity. Say, a curve of total concrete volume required over the time period or duration of the schedule. Corollary to that, your schedule must be resource loaded before you can generate the curve.

Example:
With several "concreting" activities spread across your schedule, the curve can be generated either by:

1. Directly using "Tools\Graphic Report\Resource and Cost" menu, or,

2. Work in Excel/Lotus spreadsheet using "Tools\Tabular Reports\Resource\Loading" menu (generate in CSV format).

Use the timescale (monthly/weekly/daily) in choosing which one suit your requirement.

From this S-curve, the next period (forecast) quantity required is determined.

I hope this will help.

Rey B.
