Hi Richard, Thanks for reminding me about the "productivity"! I have read the book "The Goal", which is very illustrative in terms of what is the real...
Hello Richard Could you give me some insights on how to use SPC to evaluate buffer status? Thanks in advance, ... -- __________________________________ ...
We are experimenting with using milestones to manage float in our CPM schedules. We developed this before our knowledge of CC, but now find some synergy...
I´m a brazilian student in CCPM and i´m having difficulties do understand the meaning of this: "As with the above method for feeding chains with upstream...
Mitch, This is essentially how a feeding buffer would work - more accurately, it is how a project buffer works. Depending on the implementation, a feeding...
Mitch, Let me take a guess... your organisation uses Primavera/TeamPlay as the Enterprise Project Management Tool? I have also been using a "2-milestone"...
Hi, Paulo I sent you a graphic. The idea is that sometimes multiple paths merge before they join into the critical chain (requiring a feeding buffer) or a...
Hi, Folks Yes, you can use float to monitor feeding and project buffer penetration with Primavera. We have had great success doing so with ship repair projects...
Larry, I surely need (and intend) to read your book, but still don't understand how the buffers work differently. I assume you mean "resource" synchronization...
Hi, All Thought I'd try a CCPM WIKI. If interested, go to: http://seedwiki.com/wiki/Critical%20Chain%20Project%20Management/? wpid= Once there, I'd copy it to...

Larry, I wouldn't post emails to it. It's more of a topic thing. I've got your page up and am looking at it now. BTW, I think it's a great idea. Best...

It's not just Teamplay. Any CPM-based system will need you to create a dummy task (ooh - shades of PERT) that will serve as your buffer, and you will have to ...
Group, I apologize in advance if such postings are not allowed... I am currently looking for a software project manager with strong experience in CCPM. The...
Hi, I think it is an absolutely wonderful idea. Lots of the same questions get asked again and again. I would like a RSS feed though ... Enjoy, Michael...
Hi, Selection of a topic for a Masters Thesis in a conservative field like Industrial Engineering should be done very carefully. If your professors and...

Hi, Richard I am sorry, but you are giving very bad advice below. I know you choose not to get this, so I am not going to enter another dialogue with you on...
Hi, Mike Ahhhhh...I wrote a long reply, and then managed to hit my thumb on a key and it went away. Here's a shorter version. Float is a result of a...
