Dear All,
Proud to be a member of planning planet, this is my first question.
I am used to maintining 2 resources in my schedules - Manpower and cost. In baseline, both are converted to percentage (10000 points) and are updated further in agreement with the client. Physical progress is based on earned weightage - manpower.
In procurement phase, instruments which are manufactured abroad has no manpower impact on schedule. They have no significant contribution to physical progress (Based on manpower) whereas it has huge impact on earned value cost.
By the end of procurement phase, physical progress is lagging behind earned value cost.
By definition of physical progress, should it reflect the progress in procurement phase as well by loading it with manpower prpoportional to cost?
Please advise.
