Fine-Tuning Resources Lesson 12 Part 1 Skills Matrix Skill Enter material resource consumption rates Enter a variable consumption rate for a material resource Enter costs per use for resources Enter a cost per use for a resource Skills Matrix Skills Matrix Skill Assign multiple pay rates for a resource Assign multiple pay rates for a resource Apply different cost rates to assignments Apply a different cost rate to an assignment Skills Matrix Skills Matrix Skill Specify resource availability at different times Specify a resource’s availability over time Resolve resource overallocations manually Manually resolve a resource overallocation Level overallocated resources Use resource leveling to resolve an overallocation Skills Matrix Enter a Variable Consumption Rate for a Material Resource Click Edit Click Go To Key 34 in the ID box Click OK Entering Material Resource Rates Enter a Variable Consumption Rate for a Material Resource (cont.) Click the Assign Resources button Click the Units field for DVD Key 0.25/h in the Units field Press Enter Entering Material Resource Rates Enter a Variable Consumption Rate for a Material Resource (cont.) Double-click the column divider between the Units and the Cost columns to expand the Units column Variable rate for DVDs Click Close when finished Entering Material Resource Rates Enter a Variable Consumption Rate for a Material Resource (cont.) Click View Click Task Usage Click the DVD assignment under task 34 Click the Assignment Information button Select the General tab Entering Material Resource Rates Enter a Variable Consumption Rate for a Material Resource (cont.) You cannot edit the assignment cost directly because it is a calculated cost Click OK when finished Entering Material Resource Rates Enter a Variable Consumption Rate for a Material Resource (cont.)  There are two types of consumption rates Fixed consumption rate Variable consumption rate Entering Material Resource Rates Enter a Variable Consumption Rate for a Material Resource (cont.)  Variable consumption rate — The amount of the material resource consumed is dependent upon the duration of the task  After you enter a variable consumption rate for a material resource’s assignment, Project calculates the total quantity and cost of the resource consumed based on the task’s duration Entering Material Resource Rates Enter a Variable Consumption Rate for a Material Resource (cont.)  An advantage to using a variable rate of consumption is that as the duration of the task changes, so do the calculated amount and cost of the material resource Entering Material Resource Rates Enter a Cost per Use for a Resource Click Resources Click the Specify people and equipment for the project link in the Resources pane Select resource 11 on the Simple Resource Sheet Click the Resource Information button Entering Costs per Use for Resources Enter a Cost per Use for a Resource (cont.) Select the Costs tab Select the A(Default) tab under Cost Rate Tables Key 100 in the first row of the Per Use Cost column Entering Costs per Use for Resources Enter a Cost per Use for a Resource (cont.) Select End from the Cost Accrual drop-down box Press Tab Entering Costs per Use for Resources Enter a Cost per Use for a Resource (cont.) Cost Rate Table A $100 maintenance fee for each use Entering Costs per Use for Resources Enter a Cost per Use for a Resource (cont.) Click OK Click Done in the Specify Resources pane Entering Costs per Use for Resources Enter a Cost per Use for a Resource (cont.)  Any resource can have a cost per use  This may be in place of or in addition to the costs derived from their pay rates or consumption rates  You can specify whether per-use cost should accrue at the beginning or end of the task to which it is assigned Entering Costs per Use for Resources
