Delay Analysis by MLR

Different Delay Analysis Techniques

A number of claims analysis techniques have been introduced with varying degree of results accuracy and some often offer favorable outcome to the claims proponent, consequently, arising the difficulty for both sides to reach an agreement. The Time Impact Analysis (TIA) has been recognized by practitioners and researchers to produce the most reliable and unbiased results. The drawbacks of this method, however, are its complexity to perform and the stringent requisite of having well-maintained and relevant project documentations.

Schedule Risk Analysis With Acumen: Effects of Floats And Lags on Results

In this analysis, the effects of the schedule total floats and lags on SRA results are investigated. Four simple schedules were developed using Primavera P6 to understand how results varied when the same single risk was applied to a critical activity, non-critical activity, and to an activity whose criticality was driven by a lag.

Schedule Risk Analysis With Acumen: Different Activity Status

In this analysis, different activity status (completed, in progress, not started) are investigated on how each affects the SRA output. A simple schedule was developed using Primavera P6 for a straightforward understanding of the relationship between the inputs and the SRA results generated from Acumen.
