Resource Allocation

[tough1857]

I have to allocate a resource which is different that the normal ones.

Slab forms - This is a set of forms which:
1. Required 3 days for installation
2. Beyond these 3 days, other activities like reinf binding & casting
needs to be done
3. After the casting activity, the concrete cast needs to attain
strength - 7 days after casting
4. Then these forms can be dismanatelled and reused

I need to allocate resource for this - say a set of 1500 sqm.

How do i do this by having a single task

Here's one method, but it is not recommended.

You would need to put a long duration task on one line implying all the
activities in the name:

Create 1500 sq m concrete Module

duration 20 days (or whatever). Assign resources as needed. Open the Task
Usage View and manually re-key the worker effort to the days desired. You
may need to use fixed duration as the task type.

Suggestion: Make a "module" of the tasks. Indent all the subtasks needed
under a heading which will make it a summary. Assign resources as required
to appropriate subtasks
