Scheduling day/night resources during shutdown.
I have a MS Project task to which I want to assign both dayshift and nightshift resources. The project has a 24hr calender, the dayshift resource have a 6a-6p calendar, and nights use a 6p-6a cal...
Not sure how you have the resource assigned. Do you have the max units set correctly for each group of resources? Are 600% of the day shift and 200% of the night shift assigned? If I have an autoscheduled Effort Driven task and assign 600% of the Day shift and enter the 100 hours of work, the task duration is 2.08 days with 48 hours on day 1 and day 2 and then 4 hours on day 3. If I then assign 200% of the night shift, the night shift gets 25 of the 100 hours of work (25% based upon 2 out of a total of 8 resources) working. The task duration drops to 1.56 days.
