Description
Welcome to 'Advanced Project Planning and Scheduling with Primavera P6' online training course. This course is brought to you by CEM Solutions, who are providing construction engineering and management services worldwide for about 10 years. This course is an ultimate solution for the people who want to learn advanced planning & scheduling concepts, together with their implementation on Primavera P6.
This course is uniquely designed to meet the requirements of an advanced-level planning engineer. Emphasis has been given to understanding the core planning concepts, rather than just developing a schedule. A schedule with no planning sense, will not only cause trouble in project controlling, but it's also a question mark on the integrity of the planning engineer. This course is particularly beneficial for the 'Engineering & Construction' industry, but others can also use the concepts to schedule their projects.
This course is based on extensive research, real-world challenges, the experience of industry experts, and exercises based on actual projects. We have also included an extensive practice of using Microsoft Excel together with Primavera P6. This will not only speed up the scheduling process but will also aid in the management and accuracy of schedule data. The course also includes many templates, samples, tools, and other useful resources, which will help you a lot in your projects.
Some of the learning outcomes include
Understand the basics of successful project planning & scheduling, and learn how to plan & design a project schedule
Understand the basics of effective scope planning. Such as, how to use CSI formats for project scope planning, importance and types of 'Work Break Down Structure', Standard WBS used on large scale construction projects, Generating a project WBS in Primavera P6, Generating a project WBS in MS Excel & then import it to Primavera P6, and publishing a project WBS, etc.
Understand some advanced concepts related to Calendars in Primavera P6. Such as the concept of 'Time Periods', 'Global & Default Project Calendar', and 'Using Multiple Calendars in Primavera P6'.
Understand the basics of risk management in project planning & scheduling. This includes a basic understanding of risk management, how to perform risk management in Primavera P6, and how to incorporate weather and other uncertainties in a project schedule.
Understand the basics of project engineering & procurement management. This includes the understanding of the engineering & procurement processes, how to incorporate engineering & procurements in a project schedule, and procurement strategies for long-lead items.
Understand how to develop smart activity IDs and names. A smart schedule is one, which not only reduces the effort in project scheduling but also helps in effective monitoring & controlling of the project. You will also learn to identify and list activities in MS Excel, and how to import them in Primavera P6.
Understand how to break down the quantities and cost of items using a project 'Bill of Quantities'. This is also called 'BOQ Mapping'. This information will then be used to estimate activity durations and activity resource requirements.
Understand some important concepts related to resources, such as the concept of a crew, crew productivities, manhours, and machine hours.
Understand and learn to use different kinds of published data to estimate crew productivities and develop a resource database
Understand how to estimate activity durations and activity resource requirements
Learn to import cost, resources, and quantities from MS Excel to Primavera P6
Learn how to manage schedule data using 'Activity Codes' & 'Cost Accounts'
Learn to develop an integrated network logic. This includes the concepts such as avoiding missing logic, the concept of lags, leads, relationship ratio, soft constraints, hard constraints, high float, negative float, and high durations, etc.
Learn to connect different phases of a project, such as enabling, engineering, procurement, execution, testing & commissioning, and closing
Learn to interconnect multiple scope elements in a large schedule and import relationships from MS Excel to Primavera P6
Learn to carry out resource optimization using resource leveling & resource smoothing
Carry out formwork analysis in building construction projects
Understand the concepts of critical path, longest path, multiple float paths, and float ownership
Carry out 'Project Schedule Assessment' using DCMA's guidelines and learn to use different tools for schedule assessment
Develop 'Schedule Review Checklist'
Address 'Resource Overallocation' & develop project resource requirements. This includes developing of 'Cumulative Resource Requirements', 'Individual Resource Requirements' and 'Stacked Histograms'
Develop project cost requirements. This includes 'Monthly Cash Flow', 'Cost S-Curve', 'Early & Late Cash Flow' etc.
Develop 'KPI Charts' for key material resources
Understand and develop other components of a 'Planning Package', such as, 'Engineering & Procurement Logs', 'Formwork Utilization Plan', 'Lag Justification Report' and 'Schedule Narrative' etc.
