Part A: Development of project schedule
Part A question 1
Part A question 2
a) Explanation of the steps that are required for resolving resource allocation problem
The issue in the resource allocation has been currently available in the schedule which is
to be developed in the warehouse construction project. It has been found that the use of resource
have been maintained for over location with the help of resource levelling. The resource
levelling process is undertaken in the tasks for project initiatives have not been adjusted and nit
reflected in the separate assignments. Proper analysis of the resource levelling f the project help
in reflecting the project duration for increasing the cost with different activities to be formed in
the project.
b) Comparison between mpp files
WHA_PartAQ1.mpp WHA_PartAQ2.mpp
Total duration Total cost Total duration Total cost
177 days $657,120.00 301days $657,120.00
c) Difference between the mpp files
The table shows that the total time taken for the project in PartAQ1.mpp is 177 days
whereas the total time that is needed as per the WHA_PartAQ2.mpp is around 301 days. There
has been variation in the project duration and levelling of resources has been over allocated.
