Successor

Hi vijay

Try to avoid negative lags .If Finalized Design is required prior to manufacturing unit.
You can revise the link

Finalized Design {Predecessor} FS+60 days lag [If required] with Manufacture unit {Successor}

Logic should be
Finalise design FS(0) to Place Order FS(0) to Manufacture FS(0) to delivery FS(0) to Install.

There may be FAT or quality checks in there too.

If this logic gives you a delivery date significantly in advance of when you will be ready to install, you can make order, manufacture & delivery ALAP or zero float activities.

Hi Vijay


In addition to Gray advice, breaking down activities as mention by Gray helps to reduce usage of high lag values and your schedule becomes more realistic.On updating it yields better solutions for foreseeing delays .

Thanks, any advice is welcome.

I am also keen on learning how to encorporate costs into Primavera what are the ways to do this?
