Filter is not working properly???

C
Chris G. 👤 Member for 19 years 11 months

Dear Experts,

Good day! I know this question is supposed to be a no brainer, however, when I try to filter using the "WBS NAME; contain = Electrical" to show all the activities under Electrical from multiple buildings unfortunately most of them doesn't show up. I tried to copy the WBS name of the one showing up and apply to the rest but still not working.

Does anyone encounter already this issue on P6 v8.1?

Your assistance is highly appreciated.

regards,

Chris

Critical Path and Key Dates

A friend asked me about how to determine the critical path of their project in relation to contractual key dates.

The case is, they have contract to construct the superstructure and finished for a train depot. It is located in a large area and it is divided into sub-area. Each sub-area has a particular structure to be built like administration building, power facilities building, fire service building, maintenance workshop, etc.

submission and approvals prior to commencement date

C
Chris G. 👤 Member for 19 years 11 months

Dear PP experts,

I am developing a tender programme for a quite complex resort and hotel tower buildings in a tight completion timeframe.

The qusetion is, "Is it contractually acceptable to make any submission and approval request from the Engineer immediately after receiving LOA but prior to obtaining building permit/commencement date to speed-up things, for example enabling work subcon approval to be on board and mobilize immediately, technical documents, QA/QC, HSE, CEMP plan approvals...?"

Hope for your expert guidance.

Regards,

Chris

Suretrak Activity Delay Problem

R
Ryan Facer 👤 Member for 13 years 8 months

I'm having a problem with an 'unknown' delay in Suretrak.

My preceeding activity 'activity A' has a 1 day duration ending on September 27th, the following activity 'activity B' is set to to start immediately after (finish-to-start relationships between activities, no lag, no delay, only 1 predecesor).  However, for some reason 'activity B' is being pushed out nearly a week to October 10th. 

Anyone have an idea why this is happening and how I can fix it?
