Linear Scheduling in Tilos

Why this training

Studies show that different minds require different representations of data, and furthermore that a graphical representation is the most effective one. Tilos offers a solution where the timeline is interfaced with a linear representation of your project. The resulting drawing is a one page representation of (a part of) your project where phases and locations are coupled. Equipment movement is clearly shown, alongside the (in)availability of locations in certain timepoints.

Tilos has an integrated scheduling engine, integrates with Primavera P6 and Excel, and offers tools to optimize mass haulage calculations.

Learning Goals

Part 1

• Plan work following resource efficiencies
• Simulate Mass Haulage
  

Sections

Part 1

• Time Distance Diagrams (TDD): an introduction
• TDD: Practical Examples
• How to make a TDD?
• TDD workshop
• A step-by-step guide to using Tilos
• Primavera P6 (or Microsoft Project) to Tilos

Part 2

• Scheduling in Tilos using CPM
• Resouce work efficiency configuration
• Mass Haulage simulation in Tilos
• Printing Time Distance Diagrams in Tilos

Learning method

The first part of the training is mainly focusing on the tool configuration and not on scheduling in Tilos. The overall idea is to keep the planning tool (Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project) as a leading tool. The TDD created is the build of a tunnel with several linear activities and only contains time and distance data.

For part two, we require the users to have been trained in scheduling best practices or have extensive scheduling experience. Proove provides Scheduling best practices, Primavera P6 basic, and MSP training to facilitate this. Having followed one of the former training courses or day-to-day experience is required to enroll in this part of the training. The second part can be left out of the training with a one-day discount.

Target audience

Project planners or project managers looking for a different way to visualize their project phase planning.
