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.

Alexandre,

Maybe you can help me remember how P3 and P6 deal with the following simple scenario that combines independent resources with meeting resources.

Resources A, B and C can work independently of each other but only when D is available, all within Activity 1 calendar.

There is only one of each resource A, B, C and D and all work on the same shift, from 8 to 5.

 

Sunday

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

Saturday

Resource A

Resource B

Resource D

Activity 1 will be scheduled to work on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, three days a week, but not all resources will be working on the same day.

The following is how I model it now.

Meet and Indep Resources

How P3 and P6 handle this 2 activities, 4 resources one shift job?

Best Regards,

Rafael

Yes you can use resource calendars in P3, somewhat limited though.

From: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E20557_01/documentation/P3/P330ref.pdf

"Use resource calendars to accurately reflect the work schedules of
your resources: personnel vacations and holidays, equipment
delivery or lease dates, expected arrival dates, and so forth. P3 only
uses resource calendars to schedule independent and meeting
activities. When you define calendars for resources and assign
those resources to activities, be sure the resources are driving and
the activity type is independent or meeting."

Hi  jiahd aldaoud

Default resource calendar is unavailable in P3,you can create a calendar in which resource availability is identified and that calendar is assigned to each resources
