Hi everyone,

I would like to ask the experienced guys developing plans and schedules for oil & gas plants about a brief description of each of the disciplines involved (process, piping, mechanical, civil, eletrical, instrumentation & controls)

1. What are the major deliverables produced on each discipline

2. Most important relationships among these deliverables (which comes first, which follows what, etc.)

3. The interface with procurement and construction

4.

Changing the Late Finish Every Week

D
Dura Cell 👤 Member for 15 years 6 months

Dear Planning Planet,

I update our construction programme every week. Because of our poor performance on site the late finish was resulted to be sooner than the early fiinish. My story is when i made a 1 week look-ahead schedule the late finish date is impossible for the actiivity to finish as it gives only a remaining of 2 days for 1 acitivity to be finish. This 2 days is really impossible as per actual performance on site. Now, the project manager want me to move the late finish. I told them this happened because we are delayed. Project Manager want me to adjust the schedule.

Resourse assignments in P6 Ver 7

Hi,

I am a new user of P6 version 7. I want to prepare the program with resourses on it. I am not sure what I am doing is correct or not but I am explaining here to you all (Expert & well experienced Planners) for your comments:

I create a material resourse with the estimated production rate of units/day and assign that to the activity. The activity duration type I keep is "Fixed Units/time". Then I give budgeted quantity so the durations are derived from that.

DRAG of Critical Path

Hi Mr. Stephen Devaux, Mr. Rafael Davila and Mr. Mike Testro

I read the “Critical path Quiz” posted on the PP on Wed, 2011-07-20 16:05 by Mr. Stephen Devaux. It was really a valuable discussion for new planners like me. I saved that in (copy past) in MS Word and studying that and calculated manually and that was correct.
