Hello everybody as we know and always talk about that:
Activity Duration = Work/ Output
Now I put up a question like this in a road construction program i take one activity say earthworks:
Activity Unit Qty
Earthwork Cum 10000
Now I calculate the Output of Team as 100 Cum/Hours (say) considering Grader as driving resource.
Total Duration in hours:
EW = 100000/100 = 1000 Hours....assuming 8 hours standard shift (default shift taken by MS Project / Primavera) no. of working days = 1000/8 = 125 say 125 days....BUT I know the work will be spread over 6 months which mean the duration of the activity will be 180 days becoz of its links with predeccessor and successor activities ..How to establish that??? I mean how to make it logical one way...
