Calculations<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

Until now, it was necessary to obtain the impact of modification in the scope of work (“time required”), utilisation of resources, duration etc. on project execution by means of recalculation after the allocation of resources. Since the launch of the 2009 version, in fact, there was also the option of automating this, however, with the disadvantage that you had to define a certain procedure by default and changes in the execution were not always noticed. In order to enhance the effectiveness when creating projects and while entering changes considerably<\/b>, with the 2010 version or higher, you can specify directly when entering the data<\/b>, how A-Plan should respond to the changes. Since the calculation mode last selected is stored for each individual task, no extra action is required in most cases.<\/p>\n

A few examples:<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

1. Allocating a Resource<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Obtain the end (= Duration) of a task<\/b>, if a resource has been allocated with 100% of its capacity<\/b> and 100 working hours (WH) are required. Result<\/b>: Duration = 100 hours (in this case, it is indeed mundane)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Allocating<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

2. Reducing the Utilisation<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Obtain the end (= Duration) of the task<\/b>, if the resource needs to be deployed with only 80% of its capacity<\/b>. Result<\/b>: Duration = 125 hours<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Reducing<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

3. Allocating other Resources<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Obtain the end (= Duration) of the task<\/b>, if the resource needs to be deployed with only 80% of its capacity<\/b>. Result<\/b>: Duration = 63 hours<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Allocating<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

4. Setting the Utilisation of all Resources to a Specific Value<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Obtain the end (= Duration) of the task<\/b>, if both resources need to be deployed with only 50% of their capacity<\/b>. Result<\/b>: Duration = 100 hours<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Setting<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

5. Changing the Duration of the Task<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Reduce the duration of the task<\/b> to 80 hours and obtain the new utilisation of the resources<\/b>. Result<\/b>: Utilisation of both resources = 63%<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

6. Changing the Utilisation of ONE Resource, Adjusting the Other<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Increase the utilisation of the first resource to 80%<\/b> and obtain the utilisation of the second resource<\/b>, if the duration needs to remain unchanged. Result<\/b>: Utilisation of the second resource = 45%<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

7. Changing the Duration Required<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Increase the duration required to 120 WH<\/b> and adjust the utilisation in such a manner that the duration remains unchanged<\/b>. Result<\/b>: Utilisation of resource 1 = 96%, of resource 2 = 54 % (Ratio of the utilisation remains the same)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Changing<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

8. Changing the Duration with the Mouse in the Gantt chart<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Increase the duration<\/b> with the left mouse button pressed to 100 hours and reduce the utilisation<\/b> accordingly. Result<\/b>: Utilisation of resource 1 = 77%, of resource 2 = 43 % (Ratio of the utilisation remains the same)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Changing<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Note:<\/b>
\nFor changes in the Gantt chart, the default value is configured in the Create\/Edit <\/b>menu in the Adjustment<\/b> block of commands. When the Adjustment<\/b> button is kept pressed (clicking with the Ctrl button pressed), the adjustment takes place immediately after making a change. The examples illustrate only a few of the options that A-Plan 2010 provides to be able to now respond to every situation and requirement in a considerably faster and more flexible manner<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
