In a road project, after assigning each equipment to each activity, it is obevered that P3 calacultes the total no of equipment without taking into account overlaping period.
e.g.
1) One Loader is assigned to Improved Subgrade from 20/9/03 to 10/10/3 and
same Loader is assigned to granular sub base from 11/10/3 to 15/11/3
2)One Loader is assigned to Improved Subgrade from 20/9/03 to 10/10/3 for Section 1 and
same Loader is assigned to Improved Subgrade from 11/10/3 to 15/11/3 for Section 2 in the same schedule
when i calculate no of dumpers for the above two cases, it comes out as 2 dumpers instead of one for above subject cases and P3 should calculate one dumper only for the entire period whereas it calculates two dumpers? why
