When is the world going to arrive at the realization of the truth?

Project Controls Consultant @ L | Certified Guild Fellow of Planning & Scheduling
A real scheduler is not simply an artist who paints horizontal lines on a page.
True scheduling is a science wherein E.V.M. Earned Value Management, Actual Project Duration, and Actual Costs capture all material as only a world expert can perform. When dealing with this author and asking for a timely cost and duration of your project, that’s what you’ll receive.
How many Superintendents or Project Managers are supposed to manage and control the productivity and costs within a project? ?
Do you know there is a world-class planner/scheduler here in Southwest Louisiana? A person whose integrity and knowledge are only matched by that of a U.S.A. P.E.
Abstract
Owners and new and even older schedulers have eased into the fallacy of non-realistic scheduling for so long that long-term errors have become accepted as “Standard practice” over time.
?
It’s a quandary; engineers analyze material stress, clearances, and chemical reactions with the data they can access. A competent P.C.E., such as us from the Guild of Project Controls, has codes of ethics not to share the customer’s information with anyone. However, we require complete cost information to perform our science.
?
Did Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project Professional simply take a stab at designing great functionality into their scheduling software systems, or was this through the request and a response to professional needs? Probably both.
?
This is why we need a center of excellence here in Southwest Louisiana. Everyone needs retraining; owners and schedulers.

To explore this in-depth, I’ll begin with the following questions:
?????? i. How do you execute a valid 50-million-dollar bid?
???? ii. How do you manage a valid 500-million-dollar bid?
?? iii. How do you achieve a valid 30-billion-dollar bid?
?? iv. How do you manage a valid 1-trillion-dollar bid?
???? v. Can they take a set of drawings and specifications and then determine all materials, labor, and equipment needed for the concept to come together as a finished product?
?? vi.Do they know how to utilize calendars in the resource worksheet to capture complete accounting?
? vii.How long will we be left behind by the EUROPEANS, the Orient and Australians with real expertise available, here and now?

How is this degree of accuracy accomplished?
1st.????? You must utilize a Professional.
1st.??? A professional who knows the work of every person on a construction job site to a degree where he could instruct them how to perform their work.
2nd. A professional knows the complete functionality of the scheduling software and why it was designed in that manner to generate reports as needed/wanted by shareholders. Too many attend classes for P6 and other software systems and only paint these horizontal lines.
3rd.? I am Certified by a Guild only matched in integrity like a U.S.A. P.E.
4th.?? A Time/Motion Specialist.
5th.?? A Risk Analysis Specialist.
6th.?? A person who knows how to utilize the resource tables and its calenders to achieve an accurate cost.
7th.?? A person with 20+ years of industrial experience
8th.?? A person with 12+ years of commercial Construction.
9th.?? A person who can perform Cash flow reports?
10th.? Performs weather research for accurate project cost and timeline.
11th.? Can you archive every cost associated with a project? Including the fuel, fabricators, subcontractors, power, and rentals?
12th.? Determine the cost of work performed.

?A genuine scheduler is an Oracle who can foretell the future, the exact cost, and the performance of all workers. This functionality includes the remaining work, the cost of work performed, and the work reports for shareholders and owners. In other words, we are super accountants. ?
