Scheduling Resources and Costs

Scheduling Resources and Costs

1. Time Constrain

   • Must be completed by specific date
   • Leveling
     • Resolve resource overallocations
     • examine unbalanced use of resources
     • clear peaks and valleys

2. Resource Smoothing

   • Reduce resource demand
     • use free time on schedule
   • Increase resource utilization

3. Constrainsts

   • Resource Constrain
     • Material
     • Equipment
     • People
     • Limited resources
       • Scheduling
         • Reduces slack
         • Reduces flexibility
           • Time is flexible
         • ensures delay is minimized
         • Splitting
           • Resources is moved from one activity to another
           • When start up and shut down costs are low
         • Materialize as project is implementef
     • Variable time to complete
     • Parallel method
       • Minimum slack
       • Smallest duration
       • Lowest activity identification number
     • Mulltiproject resource scheduling
       • Overall Schedule slippage
         • Ripple effect
         • Can delay other projects
       • Inefficient resource utilization
         • Peaks and Valleys
       • Resource bottlenecks
         • Delays and extensions
       • Managing
         • Project priority queuing system
         • create project office
         • Centralize project management
         • outsource projects
   • Technical or logical
     • networked sequence
   • physical constraint
     • affected by environmental conditions

4. Time phased budget

   • Baseline
     • over/ under budget
     • How much work is done
     • Ahead/ behind schedule
   • Assign work package
     • One person
   • Integrative system
     • compare planned schedule and costs
