First Update P6 Schedule.

Abeer



2 possible cause of double the duration

1 is assoicated with Resource loading calculation and Activity type

2 is project setting

There are 2 options when you set up your project



1. Remaining Duration = Original Duration + Actual Duration

2. Remaining Duration = Original Duration - Acutal Duration

yes, i think original duration must each time be revised using the actual trend, for example:



activity : excavation 1000 m3

Expected productivity : 100 M3/ day then

Original duration OD = 1000/100 = 10 DAYS



when the activity begin you find after let’s say 1 week, that the actual productivity is 50 M3/ DAY thus you will have to change OD according to your actual trend.

OD = 1000/50 = 20 DAY

RD = 20- 7 = 13 DAYS

Physical % complete = 7*50/1000 = 35 %



of course you must keep a baseline before doing anything

Hi Alex,



Did you mean by (3. Update any revised duration) that I revised original duration?

And kindly note that when I made schedule I noticed that for activities which was started and not finished yet the duration at compilation was duplicated I wonder why?

I may suggest to establish the baseline schedule first before making any update.

Hi Shahzad



If that is the case then I will recommend the sequency of update



1. Update activity is already finished with a actual finish and actual start date

2. Update activity is start but not finish with a actual start date and Physical % complete and Remaining Duration

3. Update any revised duration

4. Reschedule the data date to the update data date

Question for u



What is the % Complete type



And how you want to drive your remaining duration.



1. Base on Physcial progress

2. Manual Update

3. 0/100 rule

...



This will affect the forecast finish date of your schedule
