In last month’s newsletter, we looked at the effect of using Global Change on Activity Resource Assignments. This month we are continuing with another Global Change attribute. Global Changes in combination with User Defined Fields can be very effective for calculation of values from the many system fields available in P6. A useful attribute
In this month’s newsletter, we will examine the Global Change function. Global Changes can be a very powerful addition to the Planners toolkit to quickly and effectively make changes in a single project or multiple projects. Global Change can make changes to a Project that may be difficult to undo so as a precaution
In this month’s newsletter, we will examine how to Resource Level across multiple Projects within Maintenance Planning schedule. Priority of the execution of small repetitive blocks of work or Projects can change rapidly in some organisations. Oracle Primavera P6 can resolve execution priorities quickly to ensure that the required execution sequence is implemented. Top
In this month’s newsletter, we will examine some basic Resource Levelling options available in Primavera P6 and look at how these can be used to optimise the Resource utilisation within your schedule. Resource Levelling is a technique used for testing scenarios to help resolve resource availability conflicts. Levelling results are recorded and evaluated and the changes are then
In last month’s newsletter we discussed another Oracle Primavera P6 Scheduling Option – Multiple Float Paths. This month, we move into looking at the final Scheduling Options available in Oracle Primavera P6: how to Define Critical Activities, as well as Calculate Float Based on Finish Date of Opened Projects. Top Tip #1: Define Critical Activities In February’s newsletter,
In last month’s newsletter we discussed the Oracle Primavera P6 Scheduling Options of Retained Logic compared to Progress Override, and discovered how to use the Progress Override setting to progress work out of sequence. This month, we look at another Scheduling Option available in Oracle Primavera P6, Multiple Float Paths. Top Tip #1: Setting Multiple Float Paths The Critical Path
Last month we discussed Displaying Variance to Approved Baselines, and then being able to compare the Baseline Bar against current project bars by using Activity Layout settings. This month, we move into looking at some Scheduling Techniques such as Scheduling Options available in Oracle Primavera P6 and the first option we will look at this month is the Retained
Last month we discussed ‘Updating and saving a baseline’, and then being able to compare the baseline bar against Current Project Bars by using Activity Layout settings. This month we conclude our topic on baselines with a brief discussion on how to display variances between a project and any baselines assigned to that project within
Last month we looked at ‘Printing Activity Layouts’ and tips to assist with the tailoring of the information printed. This month we cover updating a baseline, and after saving a baseline, being able to see the baseline bar against current project bars if your activity layout setting is right. Project planners can view project
Last month we looked at ‘Improving P6 Readability’ and tips to improve the visual aspects of your P6 Layout. This time we will focus on how to ensure that what you see on the P6 layout screen will be reflected in your print output. The ability to provide easily understandable print outs from Oracle Primavera P6
