How To Use Level Of Effort Activity In Primavera P6 To Summarize Schedules || LOE Definition



How To Use Level Of Effort Activity In Primavera P6 To Summarize Schedules || LOE Definition

Level of Effort activities are an essential component in building complete schedules, for displaying and representing supportive, non-discrete work.

Examples of Level of Effort activities include: 
Customer Meetings, Project Management, Site Management tasks, Maintenance of equipment Clerical work,

In this tutorial, let us consider a small sample project with 7 activities from Start to Finish and with 5 more activities

In this example, let us add an activity called as Project Management and put the type of activity as Level of Effort in the activity details.

And then link it with the predecessor as Start activity with Start-Start relationship and successor as Finish activity with the Finish-Finish relationship.

When you schedule by pressing F9, you will notice that the LOE activity's duration and dates change accordingly with the relationships given.

Observe one more point here, even though this LOE activity is on the longest path, this will be not on the critical path.

So, by this, you should understand that the LOE activities will not add any duration to the project, but would be helpful in summarizing the group of activities.

You can even assign resources to the LOE activity to see the resources spread over the duration.
Let me assign carpenter resource by going into the resources tab.

So, this way you can use level of effort activity to summarize activities as per your requirement in Primavera P6.
