Dear All, 

 

I have received a shcedule from Contractor for review with activties having very high float like 260 days, 120 etc........same like free flaot is very high. Its 16 months project .

 

Is there any standard practice limit  for activities could assign free float, total float or lag in schedule.

 

Also if I am reducing the duration of critical activties the mechanical completion date is going beyond the project mechanical completion date despit it shall be completed before,.....

    Generally the more float the better the probability of completing the project on schedule but, before considering float Joe’s comment is paramount. You need to be certain the logic is both sensible and technically correct which includes checking that every activity have a link into its start that can be traced back to the project start milestone and a link from its completion that can be traced through to the project finish milestone.  The DCMA 14 point check list is useful for evaluating a schedule see: http://www.mosaicprojects.com.au/WhitePapers/WP1088_DCMA-14-Point.pdf
