Resourcing/Role assignment issue

[Lorderon]

Please help me out on this… I'm now going to put/assigning resources/roles to
my project. The overall project has an agreed/contracted total amount of WORK
of 236,000 hours having a milestone finished date for every main tasks.

- The project is a construction type having a FIFO (fly-in / fly-out)
rosters for all the resources.
- Each resource have different FIFO rosters having a 2-weeks ON and 1-week
OFF. So it means each resource has its own work calendar.
- Current total resources to be assigned are 50 electricians and 10
boilermakers.
- A task will have an assigned number of electricians or boilermaker working
or only an electrician or only a boilermaker assigned to it.
- The actual name of resource assignment is varying in reality, for example
a task has an assignment of 3 electricians and 1 boilermaker, but these 3
electrician and 1 boilermaker can be anybody (from the pool of 50
electricians and 10 boilermaker). The reason for this is that the supervisor
can call an electrician or boilermaker assigned originally to Task A then
transfer him to help on Task B. So it means a pool of resources are
dynamically being assigned to a particular task! How complicated!!
- At the end of the day each electrician or boilermaker will enter into
their timesheet (paper only) and put in the actual hours they worked and in
what particular area or task was that.

1. Problem is how to assign a resource or a role in those specific tasks???
2. Should it be assigned by just a generic role or assigned by specific
names of electricians/boilermakers! How can it be done?
3. How to review the resources? If we want to forecast how many more
electricians or boilermakers to hire in the next few months to meet the
milestone deadline, how can it be done due to this scenario?

So please help me out. Thanks.

Hi Trevor,
Thank you so much for this, I'll give it a closer look....

Alternatively, you can ignore the FIFO roster and just know that you have
minimum x electricians and y boilermakers always on site.
Then just have two resources called electricians and boilermakers set to x
and y max units repectively.
So, the total may be 10 and 50 but you may only have 5 and 35 minimum always
on site, so 500% and 3500% max units.

Then just assign numbers of electricians and boilermakers to the tasks.
eg, task electricians[200%],boilermakers[500%].
