allocated to an activity whose duration types is Fixed Unit, decreases the activity duration.

It is
best to use this activity duration type where the duration is “resource dependent” (and not “task
dependent”). If in a project, the budget is set and it is difficult to get additional cost increases
approved, the Fixed Units activity duration type is the right choice assuming the other above‐
mentioned requirements are also satisfied.
4‐ Fixed Units/Time: Primavera P6 users need to use this type of activity duration if the activity
has fixed productivity output per time period (regardless of activity duration). In other words, this
duration type is supposed to be used when the user would like the resource units per time to
remain unchanged while the activity duration or units change. For example, if a piece of
equipment requires two workers to operate, the Fixed Units/Time duration type might be the right
choice. When the duration of an activity whose duration type is Fixed Units/Time increases, the
amount of budgeted labor units also increases while resource Units/Time remains unchanged. This
activity duration type is most often used if the user uses resource‐dependent activities.
