Inter Project Links and Critical Path Analysis

J

Planning, Scheduling & Programming Discussion

Hi All,

We routinely link between multiple Projects as we are predominantly a machining company and use the machine tools to determine which Projects we work on and in which sequence, works well for us.

The only problem is that if you look at the critical path of a single Project, it may only define the activities going through a machine tool that is linking to another Project.  Is there a way to view the entire critical path of my single Project without breaking any links ?

Hope this makes sense

Thanks in advance

Jon

Gulf coast productivity rates

Forums
Planning, Scheduling & Programming Discussion

Hi everybody,

Am i being overly optimistic in asking if anyone can share the gulf coast productivity rates? Reading through a recent thread on here I would like to test the application of manhours to some construction schedules to see how productive we are in South Africa.

I would also like to see what information there is out there in terms of the mining environment and the achievable productivity rates. Obviously locality, geology etc. plays a much larger role in the underground environment but it would be nice to at least have some idea of what is being achieved.

Basic Queries related to P6

Forums
Planning, Scheduling & Programming Discussion

I am new to the P6 and would really appreciate if someone can answer my queries

i) Is there any guideline on how to determine productivities for the labour and non-labor resources? 

ii) How does the apply actuals option work for starters? 

iii) I know it may sound cliche but how actually a S-Curve is intrepretated? For instance, if we placed all planned units/costs along with the actuals -- Can we actually set the target cost? How EVM actually works? Can anyone give help me with an example?

How do you seed, grow, develop, and retain planners and schedulers in your organisation?

Forums
Planning, Scheduling & Programming Discussion

For years I have been involved in trying to fill planning and scheduling positions for our clients, and am left with a few enduring questions as a result:

1. Is it really so hard to train and retain an in-house capability, such that this skill needs to be outsourced?

2. What is it about the scheduling discipline that makes it so hard to source these skills?

3. Where do these people come from, who actually fill these positions?

4. Where do they go once they leave the discipline, since there appears to be a never diminishing demand for them?

Delayed completion

Forums
Planning, Scheduling & Programming Discussion

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:4877:]]After updating & scheduling the program for weekly progress my manager asked me to show him the update, he particularly pointed out that the finish date of activity "Node 1 to 2 Bedding" (selected in screenshot) is not realistic as it take very less time (at the most 1 day for this area) and then he asked me to bring the date back to end of May 17 which as per current update shows finish in december 2017. My problem is that If i start doing this on program of 4600+ activities every week, i cannot finish my work ever on time.
