Please discuss the situations when resource leveling is needed?

Resource leveling is normally applied in the project scheduling to accommodate the resources to resolve conflict that would arise if there was an over-allocation. Leveling is considered of utter importance to provide the appropriate allocation of the resources in the project. The proper and efficient accommodation of the resources can save the project from falling into a financial risk. Leveling is needed if for instance, there is a requirement of more people or machines than there are available in a project. Another situation where leveling would be required if a specific person is assigned for two tasks in a simultaneous manner. With the use of resource leveling the previous conflicts would be resolved.

I believe with the use of resource leveling conflicts could be avoided and therefore resolved. As previously mentioned in question 1, it is common for a resource to be scheduled in a simultaneous manner to make the project shorter or more efficient. When a project manager assigns a person for two tasks in a simultaneous manner, the use of resource leveling the tasks would be rescheduled concurrently or in a sequential manner to manage the constraints. With resource leveling, the workload can be balanced over the project period over the expense of one of the three constraints of time, cost, and scope.

Resource smoothing is used when the time constraint takes priority. The objective is to complete the work by the required date while avoiding peaks and troughs of resources demand. Resource leveling is used when limits on the availability of resources are paramount.

Resources leveling allows project managers to balance resources over the course of a project and try to resolve conflicts between resources. Often tasks need to be done for the project to be on time. A delay in one task could deeply affect the rest of the project.

Can leave resource overallocation even after leveling has been executed: shared scenarios such as:

Priority 100 tasks; conflicts with other priority 100 or manual tasks.

Manual tasks; conflicts with other manual or priority 100 tasks.

Not allowing “split in-progress tasks” with tasks starting out of sequence.

Resource leveling is a technique that is best used along with CPM schedule when there are resource constraints. This may include labor, equipment, cost, and materials and it refers to the limitations on the start and end times of a project. To use this technique, these resources should be tied to the project activities to estimate the resources available for each activity. Some of the situations that call for resource leveling include but are not limited to; when there is a maximum allocated budget per month, when there is a need for more equipment than what is available, when material demand exceeds supplies, or when the labor force exceeds the manpower required.

Resource leveling can help resolving conflicts by comparing available resources with the demands of the project. For example, two activities might need the same equipment at the same time, however the project must use only the available equipment. This is a conflict that resource leveling can help resolve by changing the date when each activity can start and finish using the same equipment.
