Please advice on below mentioned scenario :-
Three men were required to complete a 3 day long activity, and all three resources would be utilised every day. If I define 3 units (Men) per day in P3, it calculates the BQ as 9 men and this will be reflected onto Resource Histogram (Over - Resourced). And if i gave a BQ value as 3 , then Units/day bcome 1 which is under -resourced. Pls suggest How to input this correctly?

Oldest first- 0Dattatreya Padharthi ·Dear Deepak,
If the trades are different, then use different resources.
If they are doing same work, use a same resource (Welder etc)
You require 9 mandays to do the work, with 3 no of resources, you will take 3 days.
Unless you have a different plan for these people thruout the rest of the project, you can always combine the resources. & also think about the type of reports u want to generate & then decide.
Cheers

Deepak - 0A D ·VERY Interesting....
Shud not happen actually.
As Datta has said, u must hav used single resource.
Better way wud b, go to TOOLS --> GRAPHIC REPORTS --> RESOURCE AND COST
Add one more ID into it
and then produce the Histogram / Curve required.
Remember to change items in following tabs at least:
Resource Selection
Content
Date
Selection
If there is still problem, plz revert back.
Cheers,
Raviraj - 0Deepak Jain ·Thnx Deepak...I agree with you on requirement of 9 Men days but in the current situation , it’s the same resource & thus 3 men can work every day for 3 days to equate to 9 Men Days in total. So, I need 3 men to complete the activity NOT 9 as defined by P3
Thnx Raviraj...but i don’t think that it’s an issue related to Report Writing/ID etc. The problem I could imagine is because in P3 , Budgeted Quantity (BQ) = (Units/Day x Activity Duration) . This linear equation doesn’t incorporate any variable for Concurrent/Repetitive units
