Resourses distribution with given daywise for one activity

Pankaj

As per my opinion we should then have separate resource calenders then and to assign these as when required.

Rohit,

Thanks for ur reply..

Resouses can be assigned to Project. and it is applicable for all the activities in one project. But i want to assign resourses as per my time availabiliyt requirement. If i assign say excavator in resouses calander . this shall be applicable for Project or say for the whole duration of activity...

Can u tell me the process how wud u go with resourse cal. i think my question is clear in above activity

Can anybody clear this problem?

No, you cannot. You need to breakdown your activities so as to correspond to a certain resource unit.

Try LOE with details under it.

Mr. Annon,

Can u tell me the process of assiging. LOE?

Maybe you can do that using resource lag for each individual assignment, a functionality that was available in SureTrak. But I wonder what effect does this will have on the resource leveling, I prefer the splitting of the activity approach is more transparent.

I have no objection to use of resource lag on non-leveling resources, most notably cost resources when financial resources are not an issue. It is at the option of the user to make use of good practice or not, it is not as much on the scalpel as it is on the surgeon.

Individual tasks with a level of effort task tieing them together

Pankaj,

I think you should use the resource curves for excavator and dumper resource.

for the excavator resource you can use the front loaded curve so that the units will be assigned in from the begining and will end early and for the dumper you can use the back loaded curve that will assign the units starting from the end date.

and if you want the resources to be assigned to to a perticuler date ( like above you are mentioning 15 days for excavator)then you can modify the resouce curves yourself to suit your date.

cheers

Hi All

In Asta PowerProject you can assign resources to any part of a task along its duration.

From Primavera P6 Reference Manual.

Same as Bucket Planning or resource lag, the use of resource curves fools the resource leveling algorithm in some way, be real.

I thought the use of resource curves would tell the resource leveling algorithm to use maximum assigment of every resource across the whole activity duration resulting in less than optimal results, still have my doubts on how it works.

If the mere use of bucket planning, resource lag or resource curves have the effect of not leveling at all these resources this can spell disaster unless you are very aware of how it works and how to tame, it might allow for impossible schedules because resources are overallocated.

In any case under these circumstances the use of resource lag, resource curves and bucket planning on limited resources is bad practice.

Hi Pankaj,

As suggested by people in the post, you can use manual resource curves to assign resources and i would also advise you to create Financial Periods, so that you can track the actuals on a day to day basis.
