Schedule Analyzer Pro

Schedule Analyzer Pro

Schedule Analyzer™ is a suite of programs to assist the Scheduler and Claims Analyst in performing difficult or impossible scheduling tasks. Schedule Analyzer Professional (SA Pro) works on P3 schedules and Schedule Analyzer for the Enterprise (SAe) works on Primavera P6 schedules.

PLEASE NOTE: There are two types of Schedule Analzyer, one that works with P3 and the other that works with P6 and Contractor. Although the features are the same, you must order the correct type of Schedule Analyzer to match your scheduling software.

The following modules are all included as a single package,

Baseline Checker will query your Baseline Primavera schedule and look for errors, inconsistencies, and problem areas. It will investigate 'hidden' rule settings and explain the ramifications of each. Baseline Checker will look for improper or suspicious activity and relationship coding and report each in easy-to-read reports. New is Active Reports that lets you jump from your report directly to the activity in your schedule.

Update Checker will query two schedules and analyze their similarities and differences. Update Checker tells you the story of what happened to the schedule during the update period in easy to read reports. Exclusive, 'high-level' reports are also produced which can give a quick and insightful overview to the schedule's progress. Claim Digger doesn't have Active Reports or any of the other of our "Smart Report" features.

Dashboard quickly analyzes your Baseline Checker or Update Checker report and presents a management-level overview. Review all errors, warnings, or cautions per report section. Review a quality appraisal of each report. Quickly jump to the dangerous issues and then jump directly to that activity in the schedule. If you drilled any deeper that this, you would be coming out the other side! See a short video on SA Dashboard

Longest Path Software. Longest Path Value extends the Primavera P6 concept of a Longest Path for a few, select activities to an evaluation of the measure of Longest Path for every activity in your schedule.

Logic League is an extended relationship database system designed to extend the capabilities of your Primavera P3 and P6/Contractor Schedules. With Logic League, you can finally review and control your CPM logical relationships. Maintain scenarios, accelerate schedules, manipulate soft, resource preferential logic using Logic League.

Schedule Logger lists every Baseline Checker or Update Checker report finding for the entire project for each activity in your schedule. The P3 version inserts the findings as activity logs. The enterprise version employs an interactive outlining system allows you to jump directly to the report identified and even to the actual activity in P6.

Date Calculator computes the number of days between any two dates. A built-in calendar allows for workday calculations as well.

Other Software Included. Special utilities are included in one version that are not included with the other. Please see the list below

Once the analysis is generated, use the Dashboard to encapsulate and qualify the entire schedule on just one screen. Drill-down into the section and directly to the problem report. 

An exclusive feature called ‘Active Reports’ allows you to click on any line in your report and Scheduler Analyzer will automatically launch Primavera and take you directly to the activity in question. Repeat the process; click on an interesting report item and instantly see it in the original schedule. Now you will have the knowledge, means, and time to follow-up on every item of interest in your schedule.

Built-in videos, a manual, and help-files guide you along the analysis process every step of the way. Schedule Analyzer is simple to use but full of depth and understanding about what is going on in your schedule.

Delay Claims Software

Schedule Analyzer Enterprise Forensic™ (eForensic) is entirely seperate and different from our SA Pro and SAe packages. There is no overlap in functionality. The following modules are included as a single package.

Cataloger™ summarizes and catalogs all of your available schedules. These schedules may be in XER or XML file transfer formats or they may already be installed in the enterprise database. Count and summarize all major characteristics of every schedule like this sample report

Quickly list the Critical Path of any schedule and that of all attached Baseline Schedules without the need to unattach the Baseline Schedules. Create this report in seconds. 

List all resources in the database and the schedules using them along with their committed period as in this Labor Resource report. We also produce similar reports for Nonlabor and Material resources as separate reports. Now you can be sure of getting every schedule that can possibly interact with your schedule.

Compare P3 to P6™ performs a source comparison of your P3 and P6 schedules, organizes, and reports on all technical differences. Don’t analyze a converted schedule until you understand how good the conversion really was. See this startling example of the analysis of a simple P3 import into P6v7.

Conformer™ will check to see if the dates and status in your schedule are not superseded by later changes in other schedules. Don’t perform any analyses until you are sure you are using the correct status. Here is an example of the output.

Corrupt Files Checker™ checks your schedule files for important errors that the P6 Project Integrity Check does not. Corrupt Files investigates 20 different P6 database tables for logical errors. Here is a sample report

Date Calculator™ computes the differences between any two dates in calendar days, weekdays, and workdays. Date Calculator is to a Scheduler what a ‘10-Key’ is to an Accountant.

Half-Step™ will create a half of a schedule update separating the status changes from the logic changes. Investigate what would have happened without logic changes!

Investigator™ will research any P6 schedule to identify the hidden audit information what was added to the database beginning with P5.

Out-of-Sequence Report™ documents your schedule’s out-of-sequence progress in a way that helps you to begin monitoring and documenting your delays and disruptions. We think that is illistrative to show you what P3, P6 and our Out-of-Sequence Report would look like for the same activity.

The best part of this analysis is the final statistics section where we compare the number of activities that started out-of-sequence to the total of started activities. We also present the average period of this early start. If a significant portion of the work started earlier than the schedule allowed and if this early start was of a significant amount of time, then one can reasonably assume that the schedule did not adequately describe the actual workplan. Can you think of a better, simpler way to present this argument than this?

 

Schedule Rebuilder™ changes copies of later schedules into ones that are accurately and objectively modified to reflect what the schedule would have indicated as the current status for any given data date.

 

Advanced Schedule Analysis! Adjust your new As-Planned schedule for As-Built durations and logical early starts. Now you can have it all; an un-statused schedule that reflects actual activity durations as well as mirroring the As-Built logic of actual early starts and activity overlap. Creating the As-Built Logic (hard) as well as the As-Built Durations (easy) is the secret of creating schedule that closely resemble the As-Built Schedule, only with Total Float and a Critical Path!

Related Schedules™ lists every inter-schedule relation and summarizes the extent of the overlap. It also explains how the particular issue may affect your schedule import. View a sample report here.

Trace Logic™ lists your relationships including internal data that you have never seen before. Afterwards, you can instantly trace the logic from any activity in an intuitive, interactive outline format. Here is a sample report.

Workday Calculator™ reads your schedule and builds a database of workday numbers for each day for each calendar used in your schedule. Convert dates to workday numbers and back again.
