Question

You create person loading charts for the three members of a research team you’re managing for the next month. For this project, a full-time commitment is 40 hours a week. However, you find that team member #1 is committed 40, 45, 60, and 30 hours per week; team member #2 is committed 40, 40, 20 and 20 hours per week; team member #3 is committed 60, 40, 60 and 20 hours per week. Assuming your team members are similarly qualified, what are some options you have for resource leveling to avoid over committing resources?

Explanation / Answer

A full-time commitment for a month 40 hours a week * 4 weeks = 160 hours

1st member working hours for 4 weeks = 40 + 45+ 60 + 30 = 175   hours

2nd member working hours for 4 weeks= 40 + 40 + 20 + 20 = 120 hours

3rd member working hours for 4 weeks= 60 + 40+ 60 + 20=180 hours

To avoid over committing resources project manager reduce the hours whoever working as over load:

Total working hours    for 1st member is 175 - 160(needed working hours) =15 hours overloaded

Total working hours for 3rd member is 180 - 160(needed working hours) =20 hours overloaded

To avoid over committing resources project manager increase the hours whoever working as under committed

2nd member working hours is 120-160( needed working hours) = 40 hours should be increased for 2nd member lead to avoid the over committing resources
