Ok Boys and Girls,
The time has come that I ask the question about resources in P5.
What I’m after is a resource leveled schedule which will give me guidance as to how many resources of a particular type I will need in the future to execute projects.
Example –
We do railway signal engineering, and to say that these resources are abundant would be a small stretch of the truth and friendship.
What I want to know is, how you set up a resource pool using your existing resources, and simply using the rolled up availability of all of the resources I have on hand, which will therefore predict my requirements for the future when I schedule, (not leveling resources).
My Illustrious Primavera administrator is reluctant for me to go down this route as it may mean he will need to create these resources (currently as the senior planner I’m not allowed to do this as our company books timesheets through the system)
For shame that I must now mention OPP, which has this function and it works a treat. I have also used other scheduling tools which allow for pool resources based on the rolled up availability.
I’ve only been using P5 for 4 months and have been hurriedly removing all the constraint dates from my 10 projects and replacing them with logic.
It is now with much pleasure I can move onto these other things.
If anyone can provide guidance or even ridicule (with a positive spin of course) I would be appreciative.
Many Thanks
Andy
