Has anyone come across a Planning Package, that works primarily on numbers / data calculaion.
Say that in Excel we create a spread sheet, with Quantity (Q)of material, Number of Resource (R), we can calculate just a pure unrestricted duration. I know excel will create a form of bar chart.
But what I am looking for is a package like say P3 or Teamplan that will give the duration of an activity a calculated numerical value at least on the criteria above.
Perhaps this is already possible?
Please advise.

Oldest first- 0Darrell ODea ·In a way, yes. But I want also to be able to see the spread of resource against quantity of material, through visible calculation. We can change resource levels to affect duration. But without seeing quantity of material, say m3 of concrete, you dont necessarilly know if you are over or under resourcing.
I am being clear?
Essentially I want a system like P3 or Teamplan to contain a bill of quantities, that can only be variable if we deem there is a change in their measure. Other than that they have to be finite and static.

Our eTaskMaker Project Planning Software does what you are looking for. You can define your own variables (like materials) and estimating formulas for durations.

- 0Bernard Ertl ·Yes, it works best with projects of a repetitive nature such as maintenance projects or construction work.
It can also be used to define a decision tree for field personnel (such as determining the correct procedure for a software installation based upon a clients current database/network configuration).
