Planning and Performance Measurement Using Man-hours-based Technique

By |May 10, 2024|Categories: Construction Management, Cost Control, Primavera P6, Project Controls, Project Management, Scheduling Best Practices|

As they say, “What can be measured, can be managed”. Performance measurement is the second most important activity after Planning (of course). While accurate and realistic planning is the backbone of a successful project, an accurate and diligent performance measurement may be called its eyes and ears. Even if you know the path, without eyes and ears It may not be possible for anyone to reach the intended destination. In this guide, we will explore the Planning and Performance Measurement Using Man-hours-based Technique. To make a project successful, every activity and every aspect of the project must be measured and [...]

By |May 9, 2023|Categories: Project Controls|

Who can better appreciate the importance of decision-making based on What-if scenarios than a Project Manager? As a main function of Project management, the Project Managers have to make decisions based on cost-effective options (after doing What-if Analysis) almost every day. In this article, we are going to discuss the effective Utilization of Global Change in Primavera P6 scheduling software. Primavera P6 is one of the best scheduling software being used globally, especially in the field of Construction Project management. Making a schedule in Primavera P6 Scheduling Software may seem simple, but preparing an optimized plan is not easy [...]

Differentiating between Lag and Constraints in Primavera P6 Scheduling Software

By |April 18, 2023|Categories: Project Controls|Tags: , , |

Some planners find it hard to differentiate between Lag and Constraints in Primavera P6 and tend to use them interchangeably because, under certain very limited circumstances, they produce similar results apparently. These are, in fact, entirely different functions. Lag is used to delay (or advance in case of negative Lag) an activity by certain duration units due to some purely technical/logical reasons while Constraints are used, generally in addition to logical relationships, to depict ground realities that cannot be otherwise built through logical relationships (Dependencies) only. Consider this example: we plan to prepare a concrete foundation and place certain equipment [...]

Creating Customized Reports by Using Report Wizard in Primavera P6 Scheduling Software

By |February 23, 2023|Categories: Primavera P6, Primavera P6 Training, Project Controls, Project Management, Schedule Control, Scheduling Best Practices|Tags: , , |

Reports generated from Primavera P6 scheduling software are the most powerful tool to manage a project. Before the start of the project, these primavera p6 reports provide you with a Gantt Chart, expected date of completion, critical activities, near critical activities, Free Floats, Total Floats, Resource requirements versus availability, project budget, and much more. Once the project is started you can monitor actual performance against the approved budget and schedule baseline. Obviously, the quality of reports depends upon the quality of inputs. Ensuring quality of input through Primavera P6 training is a must. A good plan subsequently updated accurately equips [...]

Using Resource Leveling in Primavera P6 Scheduling Software

By |November 28, 2022|Categories: Project Controls|Tags: , , |

Effective resource planning is vital for cost optimization. If resources are not planned efficiently then the peak requirement of resources will most definitely increase. An increase in the number of direct workers will increase indirect costs or overheads because of an increase in the number of supervisors, engineers, managers, support staff, accommodations, transportation, other facilities, and other associated costs. Controlling cost is one of the major areas of concern for any project manager. Every effort is made to optimize resources by evaluating various strategies and doing what-if analysis using Primavera P6 scheduling software. Let us say we have a [...]

Using Filters in Primavera P6 Scheduling Software

By |November 25, 2022|Categories: Project Controls|

Filters are a very useful tool used very frequently to select certain activities (meeting criteria that distinguish them from other activities) amongst others in order to increase focus or to make any changes specific to these selected/filtered-out activities. In the process industry, filters are used to separate one item from a mixture of a few more items. Filters can work only if the required activity/item meet some criteria that others don’t. Let’s see an example: In this figure, we have a storage box filled with different shapes of different colors. Let’s say we have a filter that only allows [...]
