Re: Just in Time levelling

These guys used to have an addin that would invert the dates
http://www.prochain.com

start BEFORE the project start data (sp? date)
yes this happens really frequently, it shows that what
you are trying to accomplish is impossible but only as you have modelled
and estimated it though.

Hi All,

Thanks for the responses.

I am perservering, and have had a measure of success. If I turn the
predeccesors around, so that the last task is the first in the chain of
predecessors, and then make the links start to finish, I ma getting close.
The only issue with this is that when I set the tasks to start as soon as
possible, it is making the start of the chain, ie now the last task, start on
the project start date. This then has the effect of making all the tasks
after it (in realty before, becuase we have start to finish) start BEFORE the
project start data. So, project is putting the tasks in the correct order,
but the dates now don't work. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi,

Project is very poor at that. As you may see, many claim it is not necessary
(whereas it is a generally accepted practice in production environments);
maybe that is why the requests to develop it aren't honored.

Let's be positive: if you can fix the date at the end of the chain you can
use As Late As Possible constraints; if not you'll be condemned to make
manual adjustments, sorry:-(

Hi,

Project is doing a great job of levelling teh resources, but I cannot
figure
out how to get project to just in time various tasks. It is currently
moveing
tasks with a start as soon as possible, but it I want to delay these tasks
until they are closer to the last task in a group of tasks. Ie, task 1 is
followed by task2 which is followed on by task 4 and so on. How can I
level
so that the start of task 1 minimises time between task 1 and task 4?

Thanks,

Mike
