Piping Control Level Schedule (CLS)

Warning - This Excel Worksheet or Workbook "Tool" is locked and password protected. The user may only enter date in the "yellow" cells. Other cells on this "Tool" includes locked "cells" that contain complex math formulas. Care should be taken to learn where these cells are and if the spreadsheet is ever unlocked that the cells with the formulas are not disturbed. Disturbing or altering these cells may render the "Tool" unable to function properly. Introduction This WorkBook "Tool" is part of a suite of 6 "Tools" that are intended to aid the Piping Engineering Lead (Senior Supervisor or whatever he or she is called) who has the responsibility to make estimates, schedules, control the work, the hours, report the progress and prepare & files the Final Job Report. These "Tools" are: (1) Piping Engineering & Design Scope of Work, (3) Piping Labor Hour Estimating Forms, (3) Piping Control Level Schedule, (4) Physical Percent Complete Status Report, (5) Design Change Notice and (6) "Janus" Historical Data Log. These 5 WorkBook Tools are intended to be used as a "Set" and will bring value to your effort only if you in fact use all of them. Help Line Study these instructions and all three of the Worksheets of this WorkBook. If you have any questions about anything here please contact me via E-mail (jopennock@netscape.net) and I will help you.

Staffing Plan
The "Staffing Plan" is an optional tool that may be used before you are ready to do a full Detailed Control Level Schedule (CLS). You only need the estimated number of weeks for the project, the estimated number of lines and the historical number of all-in piping hours per line. The Staffing should be a curve with a gentle sloping start , a reasonable long flat peak and a tapering finish. The number entered in cell F7 is the number of hours in the standard work week. The number 40 is the number of hours per person per week (in the USA). If your standard work week is different, then you will need to change the value in the cell "F7".

Control Level Schedule


#1 The "Control Level Schedule" form - The "CLS" is the Piping Lead's (Supervisor) primary tool for managing the work activities and the people. You cannot create a CLS without doing certain other steps first. #2 Prerequisite #1 for the use of this tool is a completed and approved Piping Labor Hour Estimate (Estimate). Without an approved Estimate it is not possible to develop a meaningful CLS. #3 Prerequisite #2 for the use of this tool is the key Project Milestones from Project and the Client. The Milestone area is located in rows 7 to 12 starting at Column "R". The 6 cells are divided so three milestones may be noted for each week. #4 This form is made to show two full years (4 twenty-six week segments). To enter the dates for the full two years you only need to fill in two dates. See the instructions at the top of the CLS Form. #5 Note: the information currently shown (in the yellow cells) on the CLS is simply to show an example of how to fill out the form. The copy included here is fully locked. Use the companion File with a "clean" form for your CLS. #6 The CLS form has four basic sections. There is (a) the Title Block (located in the upper left), there is (b) the Organizational Data breakdown of the piping groups and the data fields for the work activity grouping along with the hours from the Labor Hour Estimate and other input and automatic data columns and then there is (c) the Calendar Field where the hours will be spread by work activity groupings. Lastly there is (d) the Automatic Tally (totals) at the bottom of the calendar field.

Title Block
Fill in the title block data as required. The second thing you must do is set the number of hours for the standard work week. Just as you did for the "Staffing Plan" form you must change the number in cell "K10" (for the CLS form) to match your standard work week.

Organizational Data
This is a large field stretching horizontally from column A to column O and vertically from row 13 down to row 94. However, there are only 4 columns that you need to input data if you keep the form as created. These columns are as follows: "D" (Quan. Orig) This is the number of hours for each of the work categories from the labor hour estimate. "F" (Physical % Complete) this is a place to subjectively record the percent complete status for each work activity grouping. "J" (Approved DCN) this is the approved hours from the DCN Log used in the Change management phase. "K" (Un-Approved DCN) this is the hours that were listed on a DCN and rejected but your group will spend anyway.

Column "J" & "K" All hours fron "DCNs" are to be entered into these two columns. The only exception is a DCN that was Rejected or Cancelled. DCNs that are Change Orders or Trends effect the total hours. You must post these added (or deleted) hours for the appropreate activity and in the appropreate column. You must also enter the hours in the week(s) as an update of the Forecast to complete. See Step #6" at the bottom of these instructions. Calendar The first action for the calendar part of this tool is to enter the calendar "Month/Year" and the "Week starting /Week ending" dates. The form is made to show two full years (4 twenty-six week segments). To enter the dates for the full two years you only need to fill in two dates. See the instructions at the top of the CLS Form at "R-2 to "AA-5. The next step is to post the "Milestones in the proper place date wise. Milestones may include: Project Kick-off meeting, Project Completion Date, 1st P&ID Review, Last P&ID Review, Critical Vendor Drawings due, 1st Model Review, Last Model Review, Pipe Fabrication Shop selected, First Isometric Issue, Last Isometric Issue, 1st Construction Work Package (CWP) due, Last CWP due, Critical Tie-In dates, Scheduled Plant Shut-Down (if revamp project), Shut-Down duration, etc Note: The milestone area allows you to enter 3 milestones for each week of the project duration. Choose your words with care and they will fit. Next is the largest area of the CLS. This is where you will spread the hours you have estimated for the work. It is actually simpler than what may first appear. When filling out the Control Level Schedule Starting at Column "R" you enter the "Hours" from the estimate for the different activities for the piping groups. Example: if one activity has 40 hours (in the estimate) then you would enter 40 hours on the P (plan) line for the week where you want to do that activity. This 40 hours will automatically reflect the need for one person. If you have an activity that has 400 hours in the estimate, you could enter all 400 hours in the same week (requiring 10 people) or you could enter 200 hours in each of two weeks (requiring 5 people in each week) or you could enter 40 hours in each week for 10 weeks (requiring 1 person for 10 weeks).

Page 3

Below is a sample of what you see on each Operational Number/Activity Code "Line" on the CLS. Each "Line" is made up of 3 rows. These Rows are P= Plan, A= Actual & F= Forecast. You will fill in and use each where required. Week 1 P A 120 Week 2 20 Week 3 40 Week 4 40 Week 5 20

Step #1, Take the total hours for each "Line" (see column "D") and distribute the hours.

F Step #1
Week 1 P A 120 Week 2 20 Week 3 40 Week 4 40 Week 5 20
Step #2, Do this for every "Line from the top of the page to the bottom and from the start of the job to the finish of the job.

F Step #2
Week 1 P A 120 Week 2 20 Week 3 40 Week 4 40 Week 5 20

F Step #3
Week 1 P A 120 Week 2 20 Week 3 40 Week 4 40 Week 5 20

Step #3, Check row 100 at the bottom of the page. Is the "Staffing" a smooth curve? If not, move some hours to fix it.

F Step #4
Week 1 P A 120 Week 2 20 Week 3 40 Week 4 40 Week 5 20

Step #4, When satisfied with the staffing curve and the hours in the gray box is the same as in column "D" you can go to the next step.

Step #5, Now copy the "P" line hours and paste them into the "F" line.

F
Week 1 P A 120

20 Step #5
Week 2 20 0

40
Week 3 40 20

40
Week 4 40

20
Week 5 20

F Step #6

50

50

Step #6, Now as each week passes, post the actual hours used on the "A" line for the correct week & delete the hours on the "F" line

In this example the total hours required are 120. The work was planned to start in week 2 and finish week 5. The activity was not started on time, possibly because the person or the information was not available. So the worked shifted as shown by the "Actual" hours and the new forecast. That is about it. The maintenance is just a couple of hours once a week to plug in the "Actual" from the past week and adjust the forecast as required. The form and the imbedded formulas do the rest for you. I hope you find it useful and easy to use once you learn how it is done.
