Manpower Loading on a ongoing Project Schedule

Ruel,

Add a Resource Pool and Create a Resource Code "ReM Works ReS" then assign to the Added Resources. This will easily identify those newly added Resources.

Assign the Resources to Remaining Activities (Not Started and In-Progress).

Hope this will help.

add the manpower and make sure that you have recalauclate actual units and cost when duration % complete changes 

and Link actual todate and actuals this period units and costs checked 

leveling NEVER works 

Hi Ruel,

I assume that when you say "add manpower resources" it means to analyse the impact of an increase of manpower in the master works programme from, say Primavera P6, agree on, and then actually increasing the manpower on site.

Since the project is in progress, the remaining work is reflected by the remaining units in P6.

If you have been using P6's Resource Leveling function, then simply increase the max units/time and level the project again.

If you have been manually resource leveling, then also increase the max units/time but you will have to manually level the activities to fill-up the increased work capacity as seen in the resource usage profile analysis.

You could also adjust the remaining units / time of the resource assignments for activities where appropriate and logical.

Hope that helps.
