Alternative Project Portfolios for Better Planning
In the face of complex resource or time conflicts, you can create various project portfolios and simulate the effects of different planning approaches.
Shared Machines
Some tangible resources, such as scaffolding, can be temporally shared across tasks in projects, reducing resource consumption.
Types of Machines
Manufacturing Resource Planning Software Rillsoft Cloud includes all project-relevant tangible and machine resources of the company in the resource pool, classified by type and quantity.
Machine Allocation Plan
Rillsoft Cloud's machine allocation plan software predicts and plans machine requirements at a high level in the project portfolio and can align this resource demand with rough capacity data, e.g., at the machine group level.
Employee Calendar in Google Calendar
The iCalendar module transfers planned project tasks to other calendars like Outlook or Google Calendar. Employee calendars are continuously updated from project plan data maintained in Rillsoft Cloud.
Team Calendar with Project Tasks in Outlook Calendar
A team calendar is compiled at a central, virtual location using Outlook Calendar or iCalendar. This allows all team members to plan ahead and efficiently organize tasks for their most important projects.
Project Dates in iCalendar for Increased Efficiency and Transparency
Include project dates, including individual tasks, in iCalendar to provide all stakeholders with an overview of the entire project timeline, for example, in Outlook and Google Calendar, and to see when specific work steps are due.
Project templates increase planning productivity
A project template can be created from one of the completed projects and contains a project structure and order for the arrangement of the individual recurring work steps. This facilitates and speeds up the creation of new projects and increases planning productivity.
Schedule reserve time / buffer time in projectsn
Properly placed buffer and reserve time can reduce unexpected time-related project problems. The critical path calculation helps to use and manage the buffer time and reserve time intelligently, to reduce the project duration to a minimum and to reduce schedule delays.
Work breakdown structure with project phases
The work breakdown structure is created by dividing all project tasks into sub-projects or project phases. A structured project process facilitates the estimation of resource requirements and the time needed.
