Using Multiple Calendars
Hi,
I'm scheduling a project that used resources from 3 locations, each working different hours. I have made up 3 calendars as follows: 1) Operates 2 shifts (each of 7.5hrs) 6 days a week, hours for each shift, days of work and holidays have been entered 2) Operates 1 shift (8 hours) 6 days a week, hours for each day, days of work and holidays (different to no 1) have been entered 3) Operates 1 shift (8 hours) 5 days a week, hours for each day, days of work and holidays (same as no 2) have been entered. I have allocated the correct calendar against each resouce. When setting up the working time, is there only one set of parameters for the whole project? If I set this to 15hr/day, 90hrs/wk, 24 day/mnth, as per calendar 1, most tasks work out the correct dates based on time. However if I allocate a task to calendar 3, I need to specify half that actual time that I expect it to take, in order for it to calculate the correct timescale. eg If I enter 6 days for a task, and use the correct calendar for the task, it actually allocates 12 working days in the schedule. In order to get the correct no of working days, I'd need to allocate 3 days for the task duration. If I enter 6 days for the duration but use calendar 1, it allocates the correct number of days in the Gantt chart. I assume this is related to me entering 15 hrs/day etc. However if I modify calendar 2 and specify 8hr/day, 48hr/wk, 24d/mth, it messes up the duration of all the tasks which use calendar 1. Hope I've explained this ok...but does anyone have any ideas!? Many thanks |
