This is an excellent tutorial on the allocation of resources against task types. Notably the subtle difference between sequential and simultaneous allocation of resources. Microsoft Project requires careful study and careful use in order to get the expected results.

Thank you for this usefull instruction. One question though, are the various dependencies as shown here the same in case you increase or decrease the unit percentage for a resource? Say I have an resource called Engineer for 20% (1day a week). And with a fixed Work setting this leads to a duration time of 3 weeks for a task. Now to reduce this duration time I am going to agree with the engineer that instead of 1 day a week he will work 2 day's a week. In order words from 20% to 40%. When I do that I do not see al leveling, overallocations and also the labels 20% or 40% being updated in the gantt chart sections. First I have to remove the engineer with a 20% percentage setting and then re-assign the engineer with the 40% percentage setting. Clear the levelling and re-do the levelling. (Task mode is on automatic) Is there another video where this is explained? Many thanks, Martin

+SparQ Corporate Trainig Dear Joyelle, I actually wanna depend my duration on a small formula and I don't know how this is possible. I have for example 9000 panels that need to be producesed. I know that the producer of the panels delivers 800 panels a day, sow a small calculation 9000 panels/800 panels/day = 11.25 days.

Hi is there a way you can insert lag time but ensure that the next task will only start on the next available day of either a Monday or a Friday. currently i am having to manually change the dates of a recurring task if i am delayed in the processes running up to the task. so if the task previous was finishing on a Sunday, the task next would start that next day on a Monday. Though if the task was delayed a day it would obviously run into Monday meaning the next task could not start till the Friday. The task in question needs to be done Monday and Friday so adding lags just pushes the dates out and i have to manually remedy this which is time consuming. Any help is greatly appreciated

***** Will assigning the calender specific to the task allow for the task to be automatically be pushed back accordingly staying only on the next available Monday or Friday even if the task is pushed back say 3 weeks?

lee paul Yes, it should because you're are simply removing Tues/Wed/Thurs from the task's availability to complete the work. All other days of the week going forward are still open. Please note that you will need to make sure to check the box Ignore Resource Calendar as well because normally the Resource Calendar takes precedence over both the Project Calendar and the Task Calendar. Try it and see what happens to ensure it behaves the way you need it to. :-)

lee paul Ah, I just saw the reference to recurring tasks in your original question. Unfortunately, recurring tasks are 'hard-coded' with constraints by default. You can remove the constraints, but that will affect related tasks and isn't recommended. Unfortunately there's no easy solution to this one. Try working through different predecessor/successor/lag/lead time scenarios (if you haven't already) and see how this work out. Sorry I can't be of further help. :-(

+Victor Verboom I think this could be as simple as using the percentage 11.25% on both the resource and materials that you assign to the production/installation of the panels. i.e. Set up the panel production task on your project. Then create a materials resource with the number of units 9000 and the delivery resource who is delivering them being available 11.25% /day for that task. It should calculate out to approximately 8.89 days. If you need precision, you can work with the values separately. Hope this helps!

Thanks for your quick answer :), but I don't think that you understand my question. My duration = 11.25 days. 9000 pcs / 800pcs/day = 11.25, but it seems impossible to fill in a formula where my duration is calculated in this way. So I can not fill in a columm were stand pcs and a colum were stands pcs/day and then divede pcs / pcs/day and have a duration
