Procedures, Processess & Standards

I've been tasked with writing some generic procedures, processess & standards for my current company on everything from general planning procedure to specific progress measurement standards. I have a few bits from previous companies & positions but does anyone know of any good reference points or documentation online I could use for ideas & help, or perhaps they have previous examples they would like to share with me?

Thanks

Pat

Hi All,

I am trying to see what the finish baseline variance and finish last period variance is but the columns don't show any number or figure.

Do i need to modify after selecting them?

Can someone please help?

A few simple questions

Hi,

Have a few questions I would like someone to answer if possible?

Q1. When planning fit-out periods how is this usually done as it doesnt really follow a finish-to-start relationship or am I doing it wrong. I usually have 1st fix joinery, 1st fix M&E, plaster/skim, second fixes etc. Do these need to be broken down further to achieve a FS relationship and therefore a critical path? (if anyone has a standard template that would be of use)

Job-Costing procedure for Construction

Dear all experts, and Mr Rafael

I am very interested in this procedure to control cost, productivity for our projects (offshore platforms, jackup rigs). Can you share the material, etc related to job costing system.

The differences between CBS (focused on "product"), and WBS (focus on "work"/sequence) make me confused. And what detail level of OBS/RBS? How to use/compromise both these breakdown structures for cost & schedule control proper manner.

 

Thanks in advance,

Kanye Tuan Tong

Actuals

R
Rola Sabbah 👤 Member for 16 years 6 months

hi every body,

i want to ask something concerning actuals. Does any body here update actual cost for activiites with real cost , not the earned value ? we do this for WBS level on Excel sheet in order to implement EVA.

i think it will take a big effort to calulate actual cost for each activity, how do you do it? what do think the best approach for this.
