BOQ and Resource productivity rate

Question

hi there everyone i am so honored to share information with you guys...
i have project with the following given information::
project BOQs
Resources productivity.
my approach at least "theoretically" with this project was as following:
getting the "Project Cost" from BOQ
and getting "Activities Duration" based on productivity of the resources assigned .
so i rolled up my sleeves ..and opened up Primavera p6 and did the following:
Duration type =fixed units.. to go with the fixed BOQ that i have "although i feel like even fixed units/time works as well" ..but whatever ...
i defined the BOQ as material resources.
and i defined resources (labor &non labor) units/time as per productivity requirements not calendar requirements which is 8h/d
for example:
for my steel fixer team i assigned thier units/time=225h/d
as if 225kg/d
Now my questions:
is this a good practice.
how does that affect my resource usage profile in terms of overallocation units.
your prompt response will be very highly appreciated
best regards

Answer 1

But why aren't you loading Labor and Material Resources separately into the same Task? And if you want to show productivity rates, you can use a custom curve to show the gradual increase in output. The labor still has to work the same hours/day, so that can be a straight curve.
