A lot of valid answers here guys but one thing to remember!
Keep it real!!
If the project is behind schedule there will be a reason for it, unless you know what has caused the delay and resolve the issue any recovery plans will fail also!
In order to change your original plan you will also need to change your project methodology! Everyone will need to work to the plan.
Reducing activity durations means increased resource.
Adjusting s-s and F-F links is probably the best way of reducing overall project duration, but check resource levels again.
Note; If the programme logic is sound - You have a chance!
If the programme logic is flawed - You have NO CHANCE!
Remember someone has to do the work! Make sure they have the resources in termes of design, material and labour to do it.
Another thing, keep your current plan and monitor it, it will give a more accurate project completion than progress monitored against the recovery plan!
thanx alot for your advises
Those are only the basic approach to do it, but as you go further with your experience increases you will have better approach by using your own TRICKS....
Also note that you have to be realistic in preparing your revised schedule:
1- Do not exaggerate in squeezing the durations of activities to a limit that will be impossible to achieve.
2- In modifying the relationships, you have to be in accordance with the specs., the curing duration in RC works for example.
3, 4- For increasing the working hours and resources, you have to sit with your PM & CM to discuss these points in detail.
5- The constraint dates can be modified in accordance with your subcontractor or supplier.
Generally, the recovery plan will occasionally lead to an increment in cost and risk so you have to build it right.

Hi sinan,
I believe you are new in the planning world.
Anyway, I try to share you what i have.
Just to refresh your idea. The word Recovery in schedulling means to return back to its original duration.
There are many options to do it..
1. shorten the duration along the critical path or shorten all the duration for not started activities ( use Global Change)
2. Change the logig/relationship of your schedule.
3. Change the calendar( maximise to 7 days if contract allows you)
4. Additional resources ( labor,nonlabor,money)
5. Review the constraint ,modify it if posible.
I forgot some others,but these 5 is more than enough to make your schedule back on it track
I hope it would help. Good Luck
