Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Assigning resources to activities based on multiple perameters

We have multiple activities (tests) which need to be planned using a number of test properties (vehicles) to maximise utilisation and shorten total test time.

The vehicles are allocated against the tests based on a number of perameters. - Currently this is done (badly) in peoples heads.

eg Test A requires V8 engine and AWD

Test B requires any engine RWD

Test C requires any engine and AWD

Vehicle 1 is a V8 RWD, Vehicle 2 is a V6 AWD.

Test A and C can use Vehicle 2, Test B can use vehicle 1 

 

We are just starting to use P6 and I wondered if I can use it to automatically allocate the tests (activities) against the available test properties (resources) based on the resource properties.
