March Chart

Renz,
Firstly, when you place a post here you should not do the global spray and put the same thing everywhere.

The great majority of people on PP will be scanning all forums to see if there are any new posts.

On the subject of your question "Please do anybody know what a March Char is?".

The March Chart is also reffered to as a ’Time Chainage Diagram’

TILOS, is a software package that will do what you require, I have also seen the new beta version of Deltek Open Plan, where in they have a built in Time Chainage function.

My construction planner at this time builds all of his in excel.

So there you go.

P.S. Please remember - 1 question - 1 post. We’ll get to it.

Hi Renz
Hi Renz
Graphisoft Flowline is a pure Line of Balance time chain chart but it can be used effectively in any construction process that is repetitive ie High Rise Blocks or Housing Estates.

A similar effect can eb achieved using PowerProject "task per line" mode.

In practice you place the location on the vertical Y axis and the time on the horizontal X axis and draw a line between the two points representing the tasks.

Using this technique it is possible to get a crtical path programme of about 2000 activities on 1 a3 sheet.

Excel will do it but you wont get a critical path.

Best regards
