RESOURCE SCHEDULING STEPS
RESOURCE ESTIMATION: ESTIMATE
RESOURCES REQUIRED TO ACCOMPLISH
INDIVIDUAL TASKS
RESOURCE LOADING: ASSESS RESOURCES TO
BE ORGANIZED FROM PERIOD TO PERIOD
RESOURCE SMOOTHING: RESCHEDULE TASKS
TO MINIMISE PERIOD TO PERIOD VARIATION IN
RESOURCES WITHOUT AFFECTING COMPLETION
DATE
RESOURCE LEVELLING: RESCHEDULE TASKS
TO REMAIN WITHIN RESOURCE CONSTRAINTS WITH
OR WITHOUT PROJECT DELAY

PRIORITY RULES FOR RESOURCE LEVELLING
MINIMUM SLACK FIRST: ALLOCATE
RESOURCES TO CRITICAL & NEAR- CRITICAL
ACTIVITIES ON PRIORITY.
SHORTEST TASK FIRST: ENSURES THAT
MAXIMISES NUMBER OF TASKS CAN BE
COMPLETED IN CERTAIN TIME PERIOD.
MOST RESOURCES FIRST: ON PRESUMPTION
THAT MORE IMPORTANT TASKS DEMAND MORE
RESOURCES
MOST CRITICAL FOLLOWERS: TASKS
PRECEDING MAXIMUM NUMBERS OF CRITICAL
TASKS WILL GET PRIORITY FOR RESOURCES.

Example:
Given below are the manpower requirement for each activity in a Project.
a) Draw the network and find out Total Float and Free Float for every activity.
b) The contractor stipulates that during the 1
st
26 days only 4 to 5 men and during
the remaining days 8 to 11 men can be made available. Rearrange the activities
suitably for Leveling the manpower resource, satisfying the above condition.
