Why More Workers Don’t Always Mean an Earlier Finish | Primavera P6 Duration Types

You add more workers in Primavera P6—but the activity duration stays the same. What controls the result? An important place to check is the activity’s Duration Type. Explore the relationship between activity duration, resource units, and units per time, and learn how to approach resource loading with a clearer understanding of what should remain fixed. The four Primavera P6 duration types: • Fixed Units • Fixed Units/Time • Fixed Duration & Units • Fixed Duration & Units/Time The key question: are you protecting the planned duration, total work effort, or resource rate? Choosing the appropriate duration type helps your resource calculations reflect your planning assumptions. However, adding resources does not automatically prove that an earlier finish is achievable. Site access, work fronts, sequencing, and productivity must also support the plan. For planners, schedulers, project controls professionals, and construction managers.
