Hello
From the posts that I read, it’s seems that this forum is for old PP guru, so I assume the risk that my question would not be answered anyway at all, or at least I will look like a neophyte lost engineer.
Our company decides to implement cost control analysis using P3, actually it’s a hype here in the office, after training some civil works engineers for one month, they( the Boss and his staff) hope converting us to serious PP in overnight !!!
Coming back to work, trying to use what I have learnt, getting all the documentations available in the internet (there is not enough really), reading your forum was a very pleasure and useful. But guess what it’s an impossible mission unless we change all habits of work.
- Making budget cost it’s a very hard process. Especially when I don’t know all the assumptions used to establish cost estimated
- How are you getting the updated data from field people, costs, hours, resources materials used associated with each activity in project, let say for a very simple construction projects with 15 activity and 10 cost accounts, I think we need a full time man for each project just to feed back the needed information.
So please, in the state of the art companies;-) how are you doing ????
