Scheduling Resources & Cost

Scheduling Resources & Cost

1. Problems

   • Technical Constraints
   • Resource Constraints
     • People
     • Equipment
     • Materials
   • Resource Smoothing
     • Leveling
   • Physical Constraints

2. Classification Scheduling Problem

   • Time Constraints Project
     • Imposed Dates
     • Time Fix
   • Resource Constraints Project
     • Level of Resources
       • Resource Fix

3. Resource Allocation Methods

   • Assumptions
     • Limited
       • Splitting Activities
     • Resource Level
       • Can't be Changed
   • Time Constrainted Project
     • Smoothing Resource Demand
       • Utilization
         • Leveling
           • Delay Noncritical Activities
             • Demand Reduce
             • Resources Reduce
             • Fluctuation Minimized
   • Resource Constrained Project
     • Lack of
       • People
       • Equipment
     • Prioritize & Allocate
       • Minimize Delay
     • Heuristics
       • Prioritize Rule
         • Minimum Slack
         • Smallest Duration
         • Lowest ID #
       • Parallel Method

4. Computer Program

   • MS Project
     • Resource Constrain Scheduling
       • Leveling Tool
         • Reduce Slack
         • Reduce Flexibility
         • Minimize Delay
       • Increase Criticality Events
       • Increase Scheduling Complexity
       • Critical Path Meaningless
       • Break Sequence
       • Parallel Activities Sequential
       • Activities w/Slack Become Critical

5. Splitting Activities

   • Scheduling Technique
     • Low
       • Start up cost
       • Shut Down Cost
   • Can cause Project failure
   • Resource Utilization

6. Benefit

   • Limit
     • Resources
       • Fail to
         • Schedule

7. Assigning

   • Use Best People
   • Team Up
     • Less Experience Poeple
     • Habits & Personalities

8. Multi Project

   • Common Problem
     • Overall Schedule Slippage
     • Inefficient Resource Utilization
     • Resource Bottleneck
   • Demand
   • Reconciled
   • Dynamic
   • Capable
   • Create Department
     • Project Priorty
   • Centralize Management

9. Resource Scheduling

   • Time-Phased Budget Baseline
     • Time
       • Under, on, Over
     • Budget Cost
       • Under, On, Over
     • Time Phased Budget
       • Assign each package
         • Responsible Person
         • Department
