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.

Bill,

What we have done form my platform job is create a material resource POB,  where for each activity 10 hours = 1POB.

So if an activity has 200 hours made up of differing trades,  then it has 20 POB.

Takes a small amount of time to set up,  but realiatvely easy to import to P6 using Resource assignment import function.

 

Works for me.  I use it for levelling beds.

Hi all,

Can anyone advice on the sequence of fixing the 'rodding eye' in the plumbing line?

Also please mention, under which fix it will fall in MEP activities?

Regards,

Renganathan

UNDER PARTIAL WORKLOADS SCENARIOS, VERY COMMON IN REAL LIFE JOBS IF YOU DO NOT DIFFERENTIATE QUANTITIES FROM EFFORT THE SOFTWARE MIGHT GET IT WRONG.

SHARING OF RESOURCES IS VERY COMMON, A TOWER CRANE MIGHT BE SHARED AMONG MANY ACTIVITIES ON A SINGLE DAY WHILE OTHER RESOURCES MIGHT WORK FULL DAY ON SAME ACTIVITY.  PARTIAL WORKLOADS HAPPENS VERY OFTEN WEATHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.

BE AWARE THAT UNDER PARTIAL WORKLOADS MSP RESOURCE LEVELING IS UNRELIABLE I EXPECT THE SAME WITH P6. JUST MODEL THE FOLLOWING SIMPLE SCENARIO USING P6, RESOURCE LEVELING AS WELL AS RESOURCE USAGE WILL BE WRONG.
