MS Project allocation of resources
Hi, When using ms project, is there any way I can have a maximum work time for a people resource. My issue is this: I am planning a diving job using welders. We have 6 welders but only 1 can dive ...
Thanks John,
I'll give this a go. It looks like it should work. The real problem for me is that the max unit for a resource is a variable that changes with each task. So I was hoping to find a way that would weight or load the resource for each task.
I'll give your way a go though.
Thanks again,
Adrian
Adrian,
Ordinarily the max units for a resource would determine the availability of the resource but yours is a unique case. Each resource is 100% available, assuming divers are full time and no off-days/vacation are in play. So in your case the defining time period is the duration of the dive (Duration field), and NOT the resource availability.
