SPS Product ManualPerformance ImprovementDecision-Support Mechanisms

Decision-Support Mechanisms are not a type of Performance Indicator, but rather tools in SPS|PM that enable teams to make better decisions about how to optimize work.

SPS|PM provides access to and enables better decision making through the following Decision-Support Mechanisms.

Man-Days by Day

Understanding labor capacity requirements (knowledge or craft) for upcoming work and determining if the available labor capacity is enough to...

Progress by Man Days

As labor capacity is clearly defined across workflows and work completed on a regular basis, progress can be measured based...

Progress by Work Structure

Based on the same calculation of progress as in the Progress by Man-Days report, SPS|PM enables the definition of progress...

Progress by Task Count

As tasks are added to Production Schedules and completed on a regular basis, progress can be measured by comparing the...

LRM Driver

Depending on the complexity of Production Schedules, two or more competing Milestones with different LRM dates may drive a single...

Forecast Driver

Optimization efforts include making sure work is completed as per agreed targets. However, as work is planned and executed, variability...

Constraint Network Analysis

The completion of a single Milestone / Task depends on a series of predecessor tasks or constraints that must be...

Impact Network Analysis

When managing project production, there are many circumstances that will constrain a task from being completed, impacting work downstream in...

Constraints Network History Log

Understanding how Production Schedules behave over time is important to expose opportunities for performance improvement right at the time of...
