Planning and SAP

Hello Everyone,

Just thought about checking what is the link of Planning and SAP. I have seen in many Job Profile requirement that the the person should know SAP also. Could anyone explain what is the link and for what SAP is used for. If it is useful what is it for and can it be used for EPC Projects.

 

Regards

Jithin

How to transfer BOQ into acitivities

Hello everyone,

 

this is my first post here. 

I have been looking for an answer to this a long time but still haven't found a satisfactory one, so here goes:

I have a Bill of quantities for a construction object that has around 100 items. Now some of these are too small to include into a separate activity for example *ANTIACID COATING - 5m2* which would take 2 manhours. There is no point making an activity out of it, yet I can't omit those activities.

Hvac

Fellow Planers,

I have been tasked (no pun intended) with generating a departmental/company Project Planning and Production Procedure for the Hvac Engineering and Manufacturing Company I work for.

I was wondering if any of you would have any pointer or preferrably some example/working procedures I can get a copy of.

If anyone has any information i’d greatly appreciate it.

My email address is [email protected]@

Many Thanks

SPI/CPI and Project Change

K
Kai Chung 👤 Member for 10 years 1 month

Hi

I understand how to calculate CPI and SPI and use them in communicating project status. However, can anyone tell me what would happen to these indicators if a project change was raised to alter the scope of delivery, which in turn impacted the time and cost to the project?

Would the project have to be re-baselined? if so, how does this affect the month-on-month comparison of the numbers?

If the project isn't re-baelined, then again, how does this affect the results?

 

Thanks in advance...

Level of detail schedule for large mining project

Hi guys,

I am working on a large mining project in RSA with the end date towards the end of 2022. The project is not that complex and is driven by mining as these projects typically are. The problem lies in that the master schedule carries 7500 activities and if you add the EPCM and shaft sinker activities you end with +30 000 actvities. This becomes an unmanageable beast that only sucks up planning resources and add very little value to the project.
