DCMA 14 Point Schedule Metrics

Hi,

Wondering if anyone knows if  you can pull the DCMA 14 point assesmment info from a programme in Asta easily or at least elements of it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Chris
In the library there is a feature to allocate names to different types of links.
You can highlight FS links or Lag links and give them a name.
I would use a leading numeral so they are easy to find in the drop down list - 01 FS - 02 Lag etc.
You can then either filter on the name or use a column to show the names.
Just copy paste the column names on a spreadsheet and you can count them from there.
Best regards

Mike,Thanks for the reply,

I take it you would  apply filters and then just count the number of activities in each filter and use uin the relevant formulas then?

How would you create for the number of activities with finish to start relationships or Lags?

I think I can create relevant filters for the checks that are based on progress but not the ones based on logic as above.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Chris

Hi Chris
Thanks for putting me in touch with this DCMA 14 concept. I have been banging on about these topics for years.
See my PP post on "Ban these planning abominations".
It seems the DCMA may be an offshoot of the US Corps of Engineers who gave us the "Windows System" back in the 50's
Every one of the 14 points can be checked individually by the relevant ASTA filters but there is no "one shot" button.
Asta does not allow negative float anyway so that sequence is not valid.
Best regards
