RepOne offers full project life-cycle CPM scheduling services to construction managers, general contractors, planners, design professionals, owners, and subcontractors, including baselines, progress updates, Time Impact Analysis, Recovery Schedules, and Claim Schedules. CPM scheduling criteria can be developed independently, or as a collaborative effort with your team.

Once this criteria is established, the project logic is developed through due diligence design documentation review, and team resource coordination. Having team input and consensus is central to making the most of your investment in  CPM scheduling both as a planning, forecasting, and forensic tool.

CPM baseline scheduling is the central nervous system for development of primary planning and project logic. It represents that to which all subsequent progress will be measured – including the basis for Time Impact Analysis, delay and disruption claims, and recovery schedules. It determines when resources, material, and equipment will be needed, and the order in which they must be prosecuted.

RepOne develops full-scope Level V Oracle Primavera CPM scheduling networks that represent the highest possible level of detail at the activity level. Highly developed WBS facilitate filtering that makes possible executive level roll-ups for the big picture, as well as individualized programs sorted by trade, area, floor, and resources.

Liquid flexibility in CPM scheduling is crucial to providing the ability to engage the project team to resequence work that has strayed from the baseline – a ubiquitous circumstance that is often ignored – much to the chagrin of project executives. A serviceable baseline allows big picture changes, as well as drill-down to the smallest details of resequencing, change order work, and project delays.

Resource loading of the baseline makes it possible to assign trades and personnel, and to detect over-allocation in the forward-pass, or look-ahead. RepOne offers a proprietary approach to resource loading that facilitates earned value analysis (EVA) studies that track work-in-place in real time.

RepOne is one of the rare CPM scheduling services that utilisees the Deltek Acumen Fuse platform to measure and validate project performance according to industry benchmarks, and which meet rigorous government standards. No other CPM scheduling platform performs this function far in excess of the boilerplate DCMA 14 Defense Contract Management Agency, one of several metric assessment groups used by Acumen Fuse.  Fuse has an unlimited number of database comparisons that meausre trending throughout a project’s full lifecylce.

Investment in the baseline is critical to the CPM scheduling effort. If the baseline is flawed, it will be difficult to use it as a point of reference for forecasting the forward-pass. A faulty or insufficiently detailed baseline will preclude the ability to make a solid delay or disruption claim schedule, should the time come, as they are subject to be predicated on false premises.
