    This document discusses man-power leveling for engineering projects at Saudi Aramco. It describes leveling man-power when there is unlimited availability, which involves adjusting non-critical activity start and finish dates to reduce peaks and fill valleys while maintaining the project finish date. It also addresses leveling when there is limited man-power, which may require adjusting critical path activities and extend the project completion date to stay within man-power limits. The document provides examples of leveling project schedules using network diagrams to optimize resource usage over time.

    LEVELING MANPOWER FOR UNLIMITED MANPOWER AVAILABILITY


    Man-power leveling with unlimited man-power availability will not extend the project time when
    the man-power is leveled. Leveling of man-power reduces the peaks and fills in the valleys of the
    man-power usage curve. The non-critical activities start and finish dates are adjusted within their
    respective float times to level the project man-power. In the leveling procedure, the critical
    activities will have priority. Crew sizes may be altered within reason. One must be certain that
    the number of workers working on an activity can work efficiently. For instance, you would not
    assign 35 workers to work at the same time in an area of 200 square feet. You have to be familiar
    with the work area and requirements to accomplish the activities so as to wisely level the
    schedule.
    The ADM CPM Network in Figure 1 that follows has the man-hour requirements for each of the
    activities. Using an unlimited man-power availability and an
    8-hr. work day, the schedule is leveled within the required finish date.

    Figure 2, that follows, has the labor resource totaled by each day. By observation, one can see
    that the man-power is leveled, since the man-power varies between 3 and 6 men per day. There
    are no man-power peaks and valleys. If there were greater variations, the activities with float time
    would have their start or finish dates changed within the float time to level the man-power.

    LEVELING MAN-POWER FOR LIMITED MAN-POWER AVAILABILITY

    The previous example had unlimited man-power availability. In most cases, the man-power is
    limited. In the case of limited man-power, one must again adjust the start and completion dates of
    the activities within the float times to minimize the required man-power per day or to stay within
    the given man-power limits. In Figure 3 that follows, the man-power was limited at 4 men. The
    CPM network was then adjusted to use a maximum of 4 men per day and a minimum crew size of
    2 men. Man-power adjustment may extend the project completion date. The first activities to be
    changed are the activities with float time. After the first activities are exhausted and if the man-
    power is still too high, the critical activities must be adjusted. Adjusting the critical activities will
    delay the project completion date.
