DACE labor productivity norms

Hi everybody,

I am leading the planning office of my company mainly involved as EPC contractor in industrial plants and infrastructures.

After many years, I have the opportunity to purchase a database of labor productivity norms. I am trying to find a usable database (USGC or DACE for instance) or like a big excel table I mean in the market. But to now I have not found anything.

The purpose is to use a recognised system to estimate the size of a project from BoQs, and to have a shared system with other offices (proposal, engineering dpt, ...)

Error in P6 R8.2- Application Event

S
san TS 👤 Member for 14 years 5 months

Hello,

Iam doing a Time impact analysis and in the Projects layout , i was copying and pasting the baseline to create more windows for analysis. After doing this and completing few windows, there was an error as shown below,

"An application event has been intercepted. Please note the event code for reference.

Event Code  PPUSP-0516-B".

I understand that this is due to size constraints. Then i tried to delete some projects, but then again there is another error(another application event code  UPDAT-1921-B).

P6 Reports - Data fields empty

When I run some reports for time distributed units, the data fields are empty. However, if I step through the reports wizard and run the report from there the data appears. Currently using R15.2 but encountered the same problem in a previous version.

The resource assignments page displays all of the data correctly so it is only in Reports that I have the problem.
