P6 Schedule Comparison
P6 Schedule Comparison (Claim Digger) Baseline vs. Revised Schedule Analysis: This is the most common use case. When your project deviates from the initial plan captured in the baseline schedule, Claim Digger helps you pinpoint exactly how the revised or Updated schedule differs. You can see changes in durations, dates, float types, resource assignments, and more. This information is crucial for: Understanding Delays: Identify the activities that have been impacted and by how much. Justifying Claims: If delays are caused by external factors, Claim Digger's report provides evidence to support claims for additional time or resources. Version Control Analysis: [...]
Most Used Method In Construction Planning
Introduction In construction planning The Critical Path Method (CPM) is considered as one of the most used techniques. It is a project management tool used to calculate the overall project duration by calculating a series of connected activities. By the identification of the critical path, project managers can effectively prioritize these activities, allocate resources, and ensure successful project delivery as planned. CPM can be represented by a network diagram (activity on node) that outlines all tasks, their dependencies, durations, lags, floats, and the critical path. What is the Critical Path Method (CPM)? The Critical Path Method (CPM) allows for [...]
Advanced Resource Allocation Using Microsoft Excel
As previously mentioned in the previous article how we can manage resources and start the resource allocation process with Primavera P6 Software. In this article, we will present a different process for allocating resources using Microsoft Excel. How Microsoft Excel Can Make the Resource Allocation Process Easier The previous method can take a longer time when having so many resources that require allocation to the schedule. By using Excel in the process, you can assign a lot of resources in no time. 1. Let us first open an Excel sheet and add the following columns: Activity ID: this column lists [...]
Effective Resource Allocation in Construction Projects
Before starting Construction and after the design is finalized, here comes the planning process, in which the contractor needs to plan the project timeline and budget. Resource Allocation is a crucial part of this process to complete the project on time with decent quality and within budget. These resources vary from Labor, materials, equipment, and subcontractors if the contractor needs someone with specific skills to execute the job. In construction projects, these allocated resources in the planning phase require monitoring and controlling throughout the project duration to ensure the successful completion of the project. In this article, we will discuss how to optimize [...]
How to Calculate Planned & Actual % With Weights From Primavera?
Efficient Project Tracking Firstly, you must know that planned % is called “Schedule % Complete “in Primavera P6. The Project Schedule % Complete is calculated from the current schedule data date and baseline dates. When the project Data Date is equal to the Baseline Data Date, the Schedule % Complete is equal to Zero. Schedule % Complete = (Data date-Baseline Date) / (Baseline Finish-Baseline Start) However, the schedule % complete for WBS elements depends on project cost. For cost-loaded activities, the Schedule percent complete results from planned value divided by the Budget At Completion... Where: Baseline cost before the [...]
Efficiently Remove Primavera P6 Actuals: A Global Change Guide
When you are working on scheduling a project using Primavera p6 and then you find that you have to make a big change or repetitive change to the activities, resources, durations, or any element in the schedule, the best way to change all the edits by using global change tool as it saves much time in doing any edits and changes in the schedule. In this article, we will learn how to Efficiently Remove Primavera P6 Actuals and revert an updated schedule into a baseline one using the P6 global change tool. Primavera P6 offers this tool along the [...]
