Why the Need to Plan Resources?

� In the US and generally within Australia, there is a shortage of skilled tradespersons within the construction industry

� Client’s still want their projects delivered on time and within budget

� Shortages of resources generally cause delays and increases in cost

� So what is the project manager to do?

Resource Planning

�When you analyze a project on timing alone, the results show how soon the project can complete and what the deadlines are for each operation.

�Analysis of time does not tell you whether there are enough people to meet this schedule or whether the available machines can cope or how much cash you need.

�Time Analysis calculates when each operation could happen but to find out when each operation should happen, you need

to consider resources.

Defining Resource Information

�Before you can allocate resources to individual operations and analyze the workloads, you need to know the following information…

• The resources available to the project

• The cost of each resource (optional)

Resource Usage Method

� Before you enter a quantity, decide whether to specify how many resources are required (as a Rate) or

� whether to enter the Total number of People Days (or machine days, bricks, cash etc.) for the entire duration. (Also known as Level of Effort)

Rate or Total (1) ?

� Specifying usage as a Rate means the specified resource quantity will be used at a steady rate, regardless of length of day, week or duration. If the duration changes so does the total resource usage – the resource allocation is variable.

� If you specify a Total allocation then a specific amount of work time is spread evenly over the duration.

� As a result, no matter how much the duration changes, the overall allocation does not – it is constant.

� For example, imagine you have an operation that would take 1 person 4 days and you want it done in 2 days…

Resource Analysis

� Resource Analysis is the process by which you examine the availability of resources and figure out when tasks should be scheduled to work within that availability. During this process, the analysis tends to level out the usage of resources.

Resource Analysis (Cont)

� Resource Analysis produces a schedule of dates for every task in the project showing when they should start and finish and also produces totals for the usage of resources throughout the project.

What Does Resource Analysis do?

The Parallel Scheduling by Resource Analysis could best be described as a bulldozer technique.

Imagine that every task on a project is able to happen at its earliest time – as calculated by Time Analysis. The result could be usage which fluctuates regardless of how many resources are available.

What Does Resource Analysis do (2)?

The availability of resources can be set at a specific

level – like a bulldozer blade.

As the Resource Analysis bulldozer starts up and

moves forward from Time Now, it pushes the peaks

of excess resources into the troughs of unused

resources.

What Does Resource Analysis do (3)?

There will be times when there is too much earthfor the required level to be reached.

There may also be insufficient earth to maintain continuity at the required level.

That is the theory, in practice it works like this…

Deadlines or Resources?

During Resource Analysis, you may meet a situation in which there are insufficient resources available for an task which has no more float. You are, therefore, faced with a decision – do you delay the task so that the project completion or some other deadline is delayed, or do you overload the available resources?

Types of Resource Analysis

The answer comes in the form of two types of Resource Analysis – Deadline Critical and Resource Critical.�

Deadline Critical calculates how many extra resources, if any, are needed to finish the project on time.

Resource Critical calculates how much extra time, if any, is required for the existing resources to complete their allotted workloads.

Time and Resource Thresholds

From the previous slides you may have imagined a certain amount of anarchy when the chips are down.

First, during a Deadline Critical analysis, the resources can be overloaded. You may have asked yourself two questions:

1. Can I limit this overloading so that, at least, it is within reason?

2. Is it possible to specify that some resources cannot be overloaded even during Deadline Critical analysis – a kind of selective Resource Critical analysis?

Time and Resource Thresholds (2)

During Resource Critical analysis, the project can be delayed beyond its deadline. You may have asked yourself:

Is there any way that I can limit this delay?

The answers to these questions come in the shape ofThresholds…

Unavoidable Split/Overload

When you choose a Resource Critical Resource Analysis, you specify that the resources must not be overloaded and, under certain circumstances, the only way of achieving this may be the interruption of one or more tasks...

... but what happens if these tasks are Non-Split or Consecutive?

� Note: A task should not have a balance duration reported if both the started and finished dates have been entered. Also % Done will not be used as reporting percentage work done is rather subjective and the more objective form of estimating time to complete a task is preferred.

� If a task is reported with an Actual Start Date and the rest of the fields are left blank, X-Pert will assume progress has occurred since the reported Actual Start Date and Time Now. Should there be insufficient balance left at Time Now, then the task will be assumed completed
