Available Units of an individual resource
in [Project]
|
From: Shahriar Nour Khondokar on 19 Oct 2009 22:34 I am preparing the schedule for a project where multiple resources are going to work. The project has a custom project calendar with a 7-hour working day. This calendar was prepared from here: Tools > Changing Working Time > Exceptions, Work Weeks > Details. Then tasks were created and resources were added. But one of the resources, Tom, will not be able to work 7hrs every day for the whole duration of the project. On certain days he can work 8hrs (this is happening on 2 days, 10/19 and 10/20) while on other days he can work 5hrs a day (on 10/26, 10/27). To account for this situation, I went to Resource Sheet view, double clicked Tom to bring up the Resource Information dialog box and from the General tab entered his Resource Availability as below: Available From: 10/12/09 … Available To: 10/18/09 … Units: 100% Available From: 10/19/09 … Available To: 10/18/20 … Units: 114% (8/7*100) Available From: 10/21/09 … Available To: 10/25/09 … Units: 100% Available From: 10/26/09 … Available To: 10/27/09 … Units: 71% (5/7*100) Available From: 10/28/09 … Available To: 10/18/10 … Units: 100% (One isolated question: is it necessary to enter the information as in row 1, 3 & 5? Or is there any easier alternative?) But problems arise when a task may last for several days. For example, if a task starts on 10/26 and lasts 4 days, the task is scheduled as if Tom is working 5hrs for the whole duration of the task although he can provide 5hrs on the first two days only, the remaining 2 days he can work 7hrs every day. So, my questions are: 1. How do I get around this error so that Tom is scheduled to work 5hrs only on 10/26 and 10/27 while he is scheduled 7hrs of work on 10/28 and 10/29 as is the default working hours for the project? 2. Is there a better more accurate/appropriate way to account for situations such as described above? Please provide some details.
