Hello all,
I´d like to perform a What If scenario for my managers where we could see the possible reduction in our schedule by using Overtime, and second shifts, and also show the Cost Impact of this decision in order to see if this is a good option for the project.Have you done something like this before?
Can you tell me the steps to do this? Or maybe point me in the right direction?
Btw, is a construction project for the automotive industry
Thanks a lot!
CALENDARS ARE KEY TO DEFINE WORK TIME FOR EACH SHIFT.
USE RESOURCE PERIODS TO ACCOUNT FOR UNIT COST INCREASE WITH TIME.
USE OVERTIME SCREEN TO DEFINE COST OF OVERTIME HOURS [SET A CALENDAR TO DEFINE OVERTIME HOURS]
SIMPLE MATH BUT VERY TEDIOUS IF MANUAL

The following post will provide you with some images might give you an idea on how it can be done, the details will deppend on the software you use.
If your software is not capable of dealing with multiple teams working on a single activity or not capable of driving activity duration using resource production rates you might need to work it around using manual methods.
Easy but very tedious, good luck.
