How to calculate project progress?

The total project duration (from the design phase to the completion of the machinery) is usually determined by management based on past project experience. As for the duration of each phase, I have developed a template that can be used to calculate it; just provide me with the total project duration (start date and end date).

Could the person upstairs please contribute the template?

Different measurement systems are used for different projects. The calculation methods share certain similarities, but they cannot be applied universally; it is necessary to analyze each specific situation individually. Refer to others’ good methods and develop one that suits the particular circumstances of your own project.

The original poster is funny – there’s no formula at all; this depends on many factors such as the availability of personnel, equipment, and materials

I strongly agree with the suggestion from above; there can be no formula for this. It’s all based on past experience and the characteristics of the construction work, to provide an approximate estimate of the construction timeline. To put it simply, this is just a reference; it’s generally better to allow more time, as construction quality is also very important. Don’t neglect quality in an attempt to meet deadlines, as that would be counterproductive

There can be no formula for this; generally, it is developed based on past experience. The availability of personnel, equipment, and materials for each project, as well as climate conditions, are constantly changing, which affects the project schedule. Even if none of these factors present problems, if the owner fails to pay the required funds on time, the project schedule will still have to be delayed. Based on the above points, this cannot be a formula at all ； If there is any, it is merely a theoretical calculation or adjustments made based on experience!

Experience + Power + Scientific and rational scheduling and coordination + Construction capabilities

Everyone has strayed from the topic; what he needs to know is how to calculate progress. Design, procurement, construction – list all tasks; divide each task into milestones; assign a weight to each milestone. This way, the specific progress can be determined. The formula is basically similar to simple multiplication; the key is to properly divide the milestones, which we call STEP. For example, in the case of equipment procurement: AAA Equipment → REQ – REQ ISSUE – BID LIST APP. – RFQ ISSUE – BID CLOSE – TBE – COMMERCIAL EVA – APP. – PO ISSUE – FAB – DELIVER TO SITE. This represents the monitoring process for completing an equipment procurement process, with calculations being carried out step by step. If any process fails to be completed or is delayed, it is possible to find the relevant personnel to ask for the reasons, identify those causes, and coordinate efforts to move things forward. Design, construction, and procurement work together to form a concrete control system, which prevents progress from becoming merely nominal; issues can be addressed promptly, avoiding the situation where delays are discovered only at the end, leading to regret.

Process operation time = Process workload / (Experience time per work group * Number of workable areas on site). Number of workers for a process = Number of workable areas on site * Workers per group (can be calculated separately by job type). Finally, the time required for that specific task is determined； Single-task time ； Time per unit project. That is, the entire project duration. Theoretically, other on-site factors must be taken into account, such as weather, materials, equipment, construction methods, changes in tools used, traffic conditions, and any issues with the construction workers, as these can all affect the overall project timeline.

I agree with what was said on floor 9. As far as I know, in projects like those carried out by CNPC’s Refining and Chemical Engineering Construction Department, management is divided into tasks related to design, procurement, and construction; weights are assigned to each WBS element, and progress is calculated based on these weighted percentages, thereby enabling monitoring of progress. If there is a delay in progress, it will be detected in a timely manner and coordinated to resolve it.
