How Resource Optimization techniques can drive a project’s success?
Resource optimization means getting the best results from our resources. The two principal approaches towards resource optimization are known as resource leveling and resource smoothing. The difference among them is that resource optimization refers to any approach that we have to ensure that we get the best value from the resources that are available for delivering our project. In this guide, we will guide you on how resource optimization techniques can drive a project’s success. The term resources can apply to any kind of resource, including people, materials, or assets. Although we're talking about resource optimization, resource smoothing, and resource [...]
How to find Critical Path through MS Project and Primavera P6?
The success of any project depends on effective planning and execution. Project managers and Schedulers use different techniques and tools to ensure that their projects are completed on time and within budget. One of the most popular project management techniques is the Critical Path Method (CPM). In this blog post, we will explore the concept of the Critical Path Method and how it is used in project management, and how it can be found through MS project and Primavera P6. What is the Critical Path Method? The Critical Path Method (CPM) is a project management technique used to identify the [...]
4D SIMULATION IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT
The trend of new technologies in the construction industry has now revolved beyond mere scheduling and planning tools. With more quest for certainty, cost-effectiveness, and timeliness, there are innovations that aid onsite and off-site delivery; amidst such innovations is 4D Simulation. Wondering what visual scheduling looks like in managing a construction project? That's exactly one of the core values of 4D simulations. Its basic principle is integrating a 3D building model into the project schedule. While giving visual representation/project sequences to project stakeholders, the 4D Simulation is an efficient tool that aids in effectively optimizing and comprehending the construction process. [...]
The Critical Path Method Technique
History The history of CPM can be traced back to 5,000 Years ago, the time of ancient civilizations during the making of the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Egypt Capital City. The construction of the Pyramid took 20 years to complete and the workers were organized into four construction teams which were built using over two million blocks of stones. The modern method of Project Management was introduced in the mid-1900 by American mechanical engineers Frederick Taylor and Henry Gantt. They came up with a graphic method for planning, controlling, and tracking a work schedule which is known as [...]
