Software Suggestion

Hi All,

I am lookingfor advice on software. Currently working on Projects within Pharma industry, we have a Roadmap developed in Excel showing all the projects between 2018 and 2023 (ususlly 5yr rolling calendar). This roadmap has all the major highlevel milestones of the project such as C&Q completion, engineering runs, PV batches, regulatory submissions and approvals.

As we have quite a few (approx 40 projects) on this roadmap, so is looking very busy as I often need to include in prenstations for senior site & corporate mangament.

Cost Loading a Schedule - Input From ?

Hello Everyone,

Just understand where the Cost of each activity would come from if you have to Cost Load a schedule.

The BOQ of a Project would have a lumpsum quantity say for example,

Concrete = 250 Cu M X 350$ / Cu M = 87,500 $.

And in schedule we have activity say,

Weekly Report Dilemma

D
D Artagnan 👤 Member for 17 years 8 months

My new contractor's planners refuse to submit: (these are all stipulated in the contract)

1. Recovery Programme

2. Substantation to Claimed Progress in the weekly reports

3. Procurement tracking system

4. KPIs of the planned and actual works

5. Any of my request to validate their claims (letters, inspection data, approval letters)

 

I have written a letter already and it's still being ignored. 

 

What's your recommendation?

change order and reflection in baseline

A
Ahmet Tuter 👤 Member for 13 years 4 months

All change order modify the baseline in some way, such as cost, scope or time. but we do not create a new baseline everytime.

how do we reflect this change order which only modifies part of the basline, in the baseline?

for example, lets say we are building a house, and a change order added a 10 meter wall. we add an activity or activities for building that wall, put in its durations resources, money into it ... and when we do earned value calculations, how does it work for this, for something that did not exist before? This is my question I guess

Summary vs High Level Activity

A
Ahmet Tuter 👤 Member for 13 years 4 months

I know that a summary activity includes all activities below it and it's everything is calculated automatically according to activities below it.

I also know what high level means.

But I am confused if we should call a summary activity also a high level activity or they are different? What is a summary activity vs a high level activity? What differences are there between them?
