C9: Resource Consideration
Resource-Constrained
Planning
Resources have limit
Project delay due to unavailable
Network diagram - reflect availability number of resources
Resource Plan
identifies physical resources
schedules their usage
identify task and activity
RP helps you to identify:
Types of labor
required for the project
Roles and key responsibilities
for each labor type
Number of people
required to fill each role
Items of equipment
to be used and their purposes
Types and quantities
of equipment needed
Total amount
of materials needed.
2 types of constraint:
Technical
Serial
relationship - performed in sequence
Complete
one activity before moving on to the next levels
Resources
Can
concurrent
if resources available
Planned Resource Utilization
amount & types
of resources needed to do activities
based on earliest start time
(ASAP)
resource utilization chart based on latest start time
(ALAP)
Steps to develop RP
Identification of
types & quantities
of resources
Development of
resource schedule
Assignment of resources
to project task/activities
1. Steps to identify Resource Requirements
Review
project scope
Gather
historical
info
Consider
quantities
,
capabilities
&
quality
Identify
types
and
quantities
Expert's
judgement
Adequacy
of resources
Refer slide for illustration
2. Resource schedule
look at
starting
and
finishing
dates of tasks for each resources
has
two methods
:
i) R
Leveling
(x extend)
Minimize resource fluctuations
keep project within time
Refer slide for illustration
ii) R
Limited
(extend)
developing
shortest schedule
, when number of avai. res. is fixed and can't exceeded.
will
extend
project completion time, in order to keep resources within the limit.
Refer slide for illustration
3. Factors in assigning res. to xtvt
i) availability of resources
Be realistic of avai. res.
Assign busier res on tasks that cannot be performed by other resources
Contingency plan for potential situations
ii) Cost of resources
Assign more expensive res. to tasks that can't performed by less exp. res. (maximizing return)
Assign less exp. res. to as many possible tasks to keep within budget
iii) Capability of res
efficient res to critical tasks
use high quality resources/ more effective res for high risk tasks
Project management software
Provides excellent features for
handling resources
considerations
Can
create and maintain
list of res.
Resources can be
assigned
to various tasks within a project
User is
informed
if resources have conflict
-
Numerous
allocation resources of report can be generated.
