Resource overload report

E
Evgeny Z. 👤 Member for 18 years 4 months

Dear all,

if I look at the resource overload report, then it produces new set of entries for every working day of a resource.

Is there any way to tweak Spider to create only one entry for a the whole period, when resource overload is caused by the same factors?

In my case I would like to receive only one entry from 03.02.14 - 07.02.14

Spider floats, DRAG, FLEX

E
Evgeny Z. 👤 Member for 18 years 4 months

Dear all,

I was looking at Floats, DRAG and FLEX in Spider. With Floats and DRAG everything seems to be clear an logical. But I still have a couple of questions, as help does not seem to provide a lot of info here.

1) As I understand Float Super = Float Free in the situation, when resource constrains have been removed from this spesific activity.

Cost Components and Cost Centers

E
Evgeny Z. 👤 Member for 18 years 4 months

Dear all,

I seem not be able to grasp the concept of a cost component and cost center. This seems to be quite different from what you have in MSP and seem to give a user a lot of possibilities.

I realize that I am may be being lazy to spend sufficient amount of time on it, but can someone just say in few words what it is all about?

Regards.

Evgeny

Activity and phase priority rules

E
Evgeny Z. 👤 Member for 18 years 4 months

 

Rafael, Vladimir,

I am still experimenting with priorities and if I don’t take into account the unusual effect of the NLT contains on priorities discussed in a separate thread, I find that when it comes to activity priorities, everything is quite logical (at least with the Standard resource leveling method). I have observed the following behavior and just checking that these are correct observations (Note I was testing only with positive priorities).

But 1st some definitions to make explanation simple

Identify Optimal Resource Quantity in Resource Constrained Schedule without using Variable Quantity

Dear all,

My project have activities including:

+ Productivity Type

+ Volume of Work

+ "estimated" Resource Quantity for each activity (refer to historical data, estimation)

+ minimal Resource Quantity

+ Limitation of each resource (Quantity in Resource View of SP)

So SP can easily establish "estimated" activity durations

 

The question is: Can SP identify "optimal" Resource Quantity in Resource Constrained Schedule without using Variable Quantity? (also identify optimal activity duration)

 

Thank you,
