I posted a reply to Alasdair yesterday. It took a loooong time to post. Finally, it seemd to post in that it showed up on my computer. But not on the content in the Forum lists, for some reason. So I don't know if anyone else can see it.
At the risk of annoying some by double-posting, here is my post again:

"We do cover drag cost / liquidated damages in more detailed follow-on workshop."
Alasdair, I am duly impressed!
I will say that I do think that that a webinar called "Advanced Planning & Scheduling" should talk a bit about drag, if only to show how to use it to pull in a schedule. After all, that's what a scheduler has to do when a project starts slipping. And I suspect that having your marketing materials list CP drag as an "advanced" topic you cover could be a differentiator for you -- after all, most scheduling instructors have never even heard of it! You could just show how to compute it in an eight-activity all-FS network.
If you need any exercises in drag (or drag cost) calculation, send me a message -- I've got loads of 'em from my graduate classes and I'd be only too happy to share them with someone who teaches the concepts.

Due to time limitations, the webinar will focus primarily on contraints management in a production atmosphere. It will address the impact of losing time at the constraint to the overall system, but not specifically discuss critical path drag and drag cost.

"Advanced Planning and Scheduling", eh? I taught a graduate class with exactly that title for several years at Brandeis University. Can I assume that these webinars, and the Galaxy APS Software, will cover critical path drag and drag cost?
