Hello all,
I work in a precast production factory as a project planner. Using P6 for scheduling the production work in the factory. We have a limited number of beds, beam lines and moulds to cast the elements. I have to schedule multiple projects simultaneously to use the moulds efficiently. Now my query:
I want to assign the moulds to a certain precast element in one project. Once that is done and demoulded I would like this mould to be assigned to some other element in some other project. Basically, I want to assign the moulds as resources and schedule the work based on the availability of mould (resource levelling) without giving any realtionships. But, I have read elsewhere that assigning same resource to multiple projects is not a good idea. If that's the case what other methodology can I use? I just don't want to use activity relationships, as the sequence of casting is always subject to change.
Looking forward to some expert tips and advice.
Regards
Mohamed
