Kamal,
2 questions: a)is your project scheduled in hours or days? if in hours, b) does your machine have its own calendar?
if not, open Data, Calendars, and create a new calendar with 20 working hours per day, then apply this calendar to your machine in Data Resources
Resource limits advise P3 how muche a resource is able to work per planning unit before being overscheduled; it does not have much to do with the number of working hours per day, that seems to be a problem for you
HOpe it helps,
bqa aâla kheir,

Hi Anoon,
On the same lines as Wael, when I key in 24 scheduled hrs of machining time, the machine has a limit of 20 hrs per day. If I give 2 days for the activity the usage will be split to 12 hrs per day..but in reality the machine will complete 2o hrs of cutting on the given day and 4 hrs on the next. How can this problem be dealt with in P3?
Regards,
dear sir,
i am very interested in this topic and wish if you could illustrate more on the issue.
isnt it same as to use equipment as resorces as well in P3 and directly assign 100% usage on equipment while using a progress driven schedule?
your opinion is of great value to me ,
thank you
wael
Dear Moutaz,
How are you? Still using P3? I suggest you switch to P6. Resource Units are variables, so you need to make it common to all your activities, which means you need to convert it, i.e. man-hours (based on productivity rates), but it takes a lot of time. In P6, theres a function called Physical Progress in which you can input the percentage manually.
regards,
