Definition of resource levelling

Redistributing activities within project timeline to smooth resource usage without exceeding project completion time

Float of critical activities

Zero (no float)

Can non-critical activities be delayed

Yes, within their float

Key objective of resource levelling

Minimise peaks and troughs in resource usage

What resource levelling must retain

Original project duration

Formula for total float

Float=LFTESTDuration\text{Float} = \text{LFT} - \text{EST} - \text{Duration}

Resource levelling constraint

Total workersAvailable workers\text{Total workers} \leq \text{Available workers} at any time

Effect of adjusting critical activities

Delays the project

What must be preserved when adjusting activities

Order of dependencies

Max start time for adjusted non-critical activity

Latest possible start time
