NPV and DDP preference?

T
Thanh Pham 👤 Member for 9 years 1 month

I have a question from my university, hope it's ok to ask it here.

 So both NPV and DPP are used to determine the profitability of a project. But what are the advantages/pros of each of them and in what kind of project/condition will NPV be valued more than DPP and vice versa?

 Thank you for any help you can provide.

Store Period Performance - Calendar Months

I have a new client who have just invested in P6 for the first time (R16.2)

I am in the preocess of setting up to record earned value. Not currently looking to record actuals in P6.

The clients reporting calendar is aligned to calendar months.

Do I have to set up reporting periods aligned to calendar months manually in order to store period performance or is there a quick way to do this?

'Batch Create Financial Periods' doesnt appear to have options for calendar months.

 

Thanks

Rough Calculation for manpower requirement

Hi,

I am Pranav Patil, recently I have faced one interview. They asked me to calculate manpower required for a building RCC work whereas building has 4000 Sqm built up area for each floor. Total floors are 30 Nos. Scheduled completion is 15 Month.

I calculated manpower requirement as follows. Please suggest me if I wrong.

Total Nos. of floors -  30 Nos.

Completion time     -  15 Months

Cycle time to complete one floor  -  30/15 = 0.5 Months = 15 Days.

Carpenter Required
