After creating the resource pool, copy the screen image of Resource Sheet and paste into the Word document.

After assigning resources, copy the screen image of the data entry screen and paste into the Word document.

After time-constrained scheduling, copy the screen image of Resource Sheet and paste into the Word document. The Resource Sheet should show the resources that over-allocated.

Part 3A Notes

Enter resource names from Table A2.12 For “Assembly/Test” enter “Assembly” for consistency with Table A2.11.

Enter one team as 100% and two teams as 200% under Maximum Units.

Part 3

Remember the old saying, “A project plan is not a schedule until resources are committed.”  This exercise illustrates this subtle, but very important difference.

Part A

Using your files from Part 2 input resources and their costs if you have not already done so.  All information is found in Tables A2.11 and A2.12

 

Answer the following questions:

1.  Which if any of the resources are over-allocated?

2.  Assume that the project is time constrained and try to solve any over-allocation problems by leveling within slack.  What happens?

3.  What is the impact of leveling within slack on the sensitivity of the network?

 

Include a Gantt chart with the schedule table after leveling within slack.

 

4.  Assume the project is resource constrained and resolve any over-allocation problems by leveling outside of slack.  What happens?  What are the managerial implications?

5.  What options are available at this point in time?

 

Include a Gantt chart with the schedule table after leveling outside of slack.

 

Note:  No splitting of activities is allowed

Note:  No partial assignments (i.e. 50 percent).  All resources must be assigned 100 percent.
