This chapter contains the topic:
After you create your cost code structures, you can set up a job schedule for the tasks within each job.
You use job schedules to establish a chronological order for tasks that cannot be completed concurrently. For example, assume you are contracted to build a large regional airport. The airport is your project, and each task within it, such as the construction of the main terminal building, the automated baggage system, the airport access road, and so on, is a separate job.
The main terminal building job can be divided into a number of work items, including:
Site work
Concrete
Masonry
Metals
Thermal and moisture protection
Electrical
You must schedule the main terminal building job so that work items are completed in the correct order. For example, you must schedule the site-work work item before the concrete work item because the site must be prepared before you can lay the foundation.
When you create a job schedule, you enter the planned start and finish dates for each task within the job. Then, as the job progresses, you can update the schedule information with the actual start and finish dates for each task.
If you schedule your jobs on a PC, you can download your Job Cost information to a PC using a PC scheduling tool, such as the Primavera Project Planner.
