I am not in agreement to the proposed method of preparing the recovery programme, by merely tweaking the remaining durations to meet the dates. One of the objectives of the recovery programme is to demonstrate the contractor's course of action on how he plans to recover from slippage. By merely reducing remaining duration, the planner is not considering that an activity has work content involved, and there is an element of productivity concerned? Attached to this is the element of mobilisation of additional crews or equipment to meet the required production per day based on the reduced remaining duration.
A recovery programme should demonstrate the input of operations and management teams, engineering and procurement and provide realistic and achievable solutions, work sequence, realisitic duration, manageable, and supported by the available manpower/equipment on site or intended to be mobilized on site, together with the preconstruction works and approvals necessary to allow commencement or completion of the works.

What you actually need is a Catch-up Schedule of a chain of activities that you want to adjust until a certain period so that the last activity of this catch-up schedule will match the schedule date of the same activity in your original program. It means that if you adhere with the dates in the Cath-up schedule then you have recovered from the delay. The actuals encoded in the Catch-up Schedule shall then be encoded into the original program.

Hope this will help.

Hi Num
This is totally the wrong approach - you must NOT meddle with the durations of the remaining works just to fit in with the completion date.
First of all look for reasons why the work is late - you may have an EoT claim against the employer or a sub-contractor.
If it is your own company fault then you can look for ways of accelerating the work by valid means such as:
1. Change the logic
2. Increase production by way of:
2.1 Change of work hours
2.2 Increase the gang size within reasonable limits
If that does not produce the required result then report to your manager that the work will be delayed.
Bear in mind that your original programme may be wrong and you could never have completed on time anyway.
Once again - DON'T MEDDLE WITH THE PROGRAMME!
Best regards
