Hi All,
1. Schedule is loaded for the Revised Budget Manhours; say 1000 hrs.
2. Progress is earned 10% so 100 hrs earned.
3. The remaining scope is 900 hrs.
4. Activity remaining duration is 10 days (10 working hrs per day) so remaining hrs will 90 hrs per day.
5. The histogram will show 9 guys per day.
6. Now if our Fcst PF is 0.5 then I will be need 18 guys per day.
How model this in P6 or we have to take it out in Excel to do it as every activity may have different fcst.
Till now I have been of the view that never load the ‘Actual hrs’ in the schedule only progress the earned hrs and the remaining hours spread out in fcst dates indicates the ‘Remaining Scope’ which once pulled into excel will be adjusted for Productivities to create the Manpower histograms.
Please share yoru ideas!
first open the project and select send project and email the xer file to yourself. I always do this prior to making an major changes this way I can always revert back to this file if I need to its just a good practice to get into.
to adjust your remaining manhours you can use a global change to do this
when you set up the global change make sure that under Select Subject Area that you select Activity Resource Assignments
so it looks like you need twice as many men as currently showing based on your example you said it was showing 9 men and your actually need 18 men. So in the global change make it
Where remaining labor units is not equal to 0
then remaining labor units = remaining labor units * then select {custom} then make it 2
then select change
if you like what you see then select commit changes
this will double your remaining manhours
double check your remaining durations make sure that they did not change. They any or may not change based on what your current duration type is set to.
When you view the Histogram use the remaining early category.
