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.

rule 1used after the facts on some delay analysis protocols      
rule 2does not consider that schedules are dynamic therefore is wrong that will always be the case   
rule 3does not consider that schedules are dynamic therefore is wrong that will always be the case even if performing as expected it might be productivity is expected to change for whatever reason field supervisors know best.   
rule 4consider schedules are dynamic        
            
Schedulers shall model the job in a way similar to how it is managed at the jobsite. For decades the Project Managers have managed their jobs by asking their team essentially two questions; what was the production yesterday and when do you expect to finish your activity.
In the same way schedulers shall update their schedules by asking these two basic questions, rule 4 shall be used whenever possible. Get the best available estimate for remaining duration.
