HI! GUYS

I want your help as to how i should proceed with the development of Schedule for Engineering Activities , loaded with resource as Mahours.

I have with me the entire break up of Documents and the Manhours as the INput to the schedule.

My techniques , initially was to Import all this to P3 and run a Global change , with QTY(No. pf Docs) X Rate( Manhours/Doc) = total Manhours.

BUt there wasa hotch that the activities would be totalling upto 1000 nos. with each document to be racked , physically with only 7 months schedule.

What should i do in this case.

please Advise.

I am also tracking the progress of the documents using ACCESS database.

The weightings of the docs also are imbibed through the ACCESS d/b.

I waould just plug in the progress percentage into P3 from access D/b per dividual Doc(or type of doc) and get to match the Progress percentage that ACcess gives me .

Is this a reasonable exercise to do knowing well taht i have only 7 months Project Period and fortnightly updation.

Please Advise , the course of action that need to be followed , in this case, cos i am setting up a Project Control process also.

Thx.

    Hi Nishant,

    Since the duration of the project you monitor is just 7 months,you are better of grouping these documents as one package.

    Each package make a fragnet to truely represent logic and manpower resource and later on retrieve your fragnets to the
    main network or program.

    gUYS,
    I think you can do also this method:
    Make a group i.e By Decipline
    then determine progress by work matrix or work step i.e by:
    30 % design stage - 25 %
    60 % design stage - 25 %
    90 % design stage - 30 %
    100% design stages - 20 %

    maybe with this method you have only less than 50 activities.

    i appreciate the progress norms that is being advised . I would like to know as to how i should proceed with the manhours calculation as the unit of progress measurement.

    then determine progress by MANHOURS
    30% DESIGN stage - 25 % <==PERCENT FACTOR
    60 % design stage - 25 % <==PERCENT FACTOR
    90 % design stage - 30 % <==PERCENT FACTOR
    100% design stages - 20 % <==PERCENT FACTOR

    EXAMPLE DWG A: BUDGET MANHOUR = 200
    EARNED MANHOUR= BUDGET MANHOUR X PERCENT FACTOR X PROGRESS

    30% DESIGN stage - 200 X 25 % X 100 = 50 MANHOURS
    60 % design stage - 200 X 25 % X 50 = 25 MANHOURS
    90 % design stage - 30 %
    100% design stages - 20 %
    ===============================================
    EARNED ============================75 MANHOURS
    % PROGRESS = 75 / 200 = ???????

    tHEN FOR A GROUP OF DWGS YOU CAN DETERMINE PROGRESS AT DIFFERENT STAGES. BY LOCATION , AREA ETC.............

    Dear Choudhary,
    I think this question based on project. according to this issue you must define stages from engineering Dep, Such as:
    1- Conceptual Design
    2- Basic Design
    3- Detail Design
    4- ....

    and for ang stage defing items breakdown , such No document , No manporer , etc and definf stage for issue, suche as IFC( Isuue for comment:20%-30%), IFA ( Issue for approved : 30%-50%) , APD ( approved 10%), AFC ( Approved for construction :10%)

    Regards
