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.

try addding the resource again because the resource keeps the rules that were established at the time that the resource was assigned to the activity.

its usually X number/day or X number/hour whatever your planning unit is

its not 60h/h or 10h/h that would be 60 hours per hour or 10 hours per hour.

if setting the Max Units /Time the 60/d would mean that the resoruce could work 60 hours per day or would be a crew of 7.5 men which is 60 hours/8 hours per day. The crew size would change if the work hours were lets say 10 hours per day it woule be a crew of 6 men becasue 60 hours /10 per days  = 6 men.

Rodel explained what setting a max limit does

Hi,

    I am having trouble while importing a modified max unit/time back to P6, it doesn't update to changed values. When I export as per othe planners advise I have exported Resource & Resource assignement. Then changed few values of max unit/time and it didn't change after importing back. Any help in this case.

 

Thanks 
Raj

Kumar,
Max Unit/Time is the max limit of unit that allocated on the resource per time when assigned resource to activity. Exceeding from the set max unit/time will over allocate your resource and prevent Primavera from leveling the resource. Max unit/time can set to individual resource (single person) or group resource (gang or crew).

Ex: If normal working time is 10 hrs per day meaning 1 person = 10hrs/day
If a resource is a single person max unit/time = 10 max unit/time
If a resource is a crew/ group or gang of 5 person = 10 x 5 = 50hrs/d = 50 max unit/time
