You may be left out the third option "Hammack Activity" and this may be one of the best option



Why

WBS you cannot link a relationship to the summary, and it a rigid structure so once setup its very hard to change the level



Code structure in Layout

Yes it is very flexible, but again you cannot link the summary bar with the actual activity.



So my suggestion is depend you need Code structure and Hammack is you best options

Hello,



Several options depending on how you organised the sturcture of your project.



Option 1 WBS



Imagine you created a wbs code like this

10. Engineering

10.10 Basic

10.10.10 Process flow Diags.

10.10.20 Layout

10.20.30 etc



then you have to attribute to each activity one of this codes.



After, you can create one activity type (example) WBS with code 10.10 - this activity will summarize all activities under code 10.10 .



Option 2

Summarize by layout

in the stucture of your database create the necessary codes for the summary phase you want (Eng. / Procurement / manufacturing / transport / construction / erection / commissioning / etc).



Then sort the activities by phase code and ask to have the summary bar (top or bottom).



I hope to have been of any help.
