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.

Hi to all!

Can somebody send me an example of a LEVEL 4 schedule..

We have a running projects at the moment.Our client required us to submmit a level 4 schedule from our current running schedule, for them to specifically determine the problem area of our project,since we are running late already due to a lot of delays.I haven’t made such one before and i just want to see how detailed a level 4 is.

Our project is a building addition.

My e-mail add is azalea_0301@yahoo.com


Thanks for the help in advance.

I’m not sure if there’s a standard approach to numbering or describing levels of detail, but we use;

Level 1; Top level milestones - 1 A4 sheet for the project
Level 2; Phase level planning - 1 A4/A3 sheet per work area - Gives focus to phase lengths (planning, execution etc)
Level 3; Execution strategy - a few A4/A3 sheets per work area - details overall approach to the execution of the works
Level 4; Activity detail - 20k+ activities - 1 activity per man-shift
Level 5; MH calculation lines that drive the activities

This is used for Oil and Gas maintainence turnarounds, traditional building work I would say may lack level 5 completely and be of the order of one man-month per activity at level 4 (depends on your reporting period.)

I expect, though, that what your employer is demanding is one level of detail deeper than whatever you are currently providing. It is a common technique to scheudule the next 2-4 months work in a deeper level of detail than your overall plan, in your case perhaps you start the project with a level 3 plan for the whole project before you start (at tender perhaps) and then to schedule at Level 4 the works coming in the next 3 months. The term for this is "rolling wave" planning
