Hi,
Currently I'm preparing planned resources (machinery & manpower) required for the project in monthly frequency. However, there are two ways in assessing the planned and resources (perhaps different user different method). The method (in my opinion and others) as per below listing:
1) Average usage of machinery, which refers to total cumulative machinery moblilize daily sum (for the month) divided with average working day (24 days used).
2) Maximum mobilize per day in that particular monthy (which will represent the whole month).
In my opinion maximum mobilization is best method to be used as it can tell the stakeholder (which is the client) how much machinery actually required to achieve that month amount of work.
Hopefully other planners can give their input in which is the better way and why.
Thanks in advance.
