Baseline1 Vs Current, S-CURVE?

K
Kashif Khan 👤 Member for 14 years 7 months

With the risk of this being asked before, but as excuse that the search ain’t working I’m asking this (apparently) simple question.



I’m working on a rail project at the moment and it’s in P6 6.2



Our schedule got approved by the client and I’ve created the first baseline.



I’ve now progressed the current schedule and want to create a S-Curve showing the Early and Late from the baseline and the actual and forecast from the current (as I used to do in P3).

What is the right predecessor for these activities?

My predecessor for the activity "Prepare RFQ (Request for Quotation) of Equipment xxx" in mechanical engineering is the activity "Prepare Data Sheet of Equipment xxx" in process engineering. Basically all my RFQ preparation activities for mechanical equipments have the same type of predecessor (linked to the corresponding Data Sheet in process).

I'd like to know the same for the electrical equipment. Which would be the best predecessor for the activity in which the electrical engineers start preparing the information to go for RFQ of those equipments?

P6_V.7.0 - ACTUAL LABOR UNIT/ACTUAL COST

Dear All,

Why actual Labor Units & Actual Cost change in the previus month when I Schedule Data Date to next moths?

Example :

Data Date = 31 December 11 ; Actual Labor Units = 100h ; Actual Cost = 100k

I Schedule the project with data date 31 Jannuary 2012 and input my progress with new value for Actual Labor units 150h and actual cost 150k

The problem is that the previus month with data date at 31 december 11 the actual labor units change in 90h and the actual costs are 80..

Kashif Khan 👤 Member for 14 years 7 months

Hi everyone,

I need your help, i have recently joined a new company, today i came across a query from senior management that there is a project which started 1 year ago, in the intial it was a project of 700 days, after weeks and months the client put the variations in the actual work, such as sometimes deleting the old activities and soetimes adding the new activities, and hence the project got different shape every time.
