How Does 1 Adds Cost 2 Equip./Mtrl. That Have A 1x High Purchase Cost To The Schedule Without affecting the CPI?
I have a few questions for my fellow Planners:
A: What is the concept of adding cost to Generators/Pumps/Equipment/Switchgear that have a One Time High Purchased Cost in the beginning of the project?
B: What about Equipment/Material that at least 65% of it’s original budgeted cost is at the start of its duration but the cost spreads linearly throughout its lifecycle?
C: How to avoid a poor CPI that has resulted when you applied a front loaded curve to a Material Resource on an activity that has a high one time cost?
D: Can you assign bucket or future period planning to a material resource? I cannot seem to edit the budgeted area when I select a Material Resource. Is this correct?
Thank You Guys,
Hope I Get An Answer To My Qs?
