Hi Guys,

I added a resource "Tile Fixer" to an activity using following steps.

1 .In Resource window added Resource "tile Fixer.Assigned it calender (8hrz/Day),entered Price/Unit.

2 .In activity window click on Resource "Tab",selected the Resource "Tile Fixer" and Entered "16h/Day" in "Remaining Units" Column (Because 2 Tile Fixers were required to work each day for 8 Hrz).

After That when I see the "Resource Usage Profile" window it is showing "Overallocation" of 8 Hrz each day.Please tell me that is it correct to enter 16h/Day or i should enter 8Hrz/ Day two times???

 

Best Regards,

    Hey Mike,

    Thanks for the reply.But Consider an activity where 20 Labors and 10Non Labor units are required.Even these number can further increase.Then Assigning them Separately will be such a waste of time.Is there any short way to assign multiple resources at a time?? What ractice should be followed??

    Hi Faiz I can't answer for P6

    Hi Faiz

    I can't answer for P6 but in Asta Powerproject you enter the number of hours that the tiling task will require to complete and then the number of tilers that are available.

    The resource modelling software then calculates the duration - I assume that P6 has a similar system.

    In the resource window the default, perhaps, that you have is, for the 'max unit/day' is 8/d. Make it 16/d then, it will even out.
