Creating Relationships - Constrains

There are two types of
logic:

Relationships (Dependencies
or Logic or Links between
activities), and

Imposed Constraints to
activity start or finish dates.

HEMP ENGINEERING Pty Ltd

EPCM Project Management using Primavera

Creating Relationships - Types of logic

A Lag may be applied to a relationship to
allow a successor to start before a
predecessor ends,
A Lag is a duration that is applied to a
dependency to make the successor start or
finish earlier or later,
The calendar that the lead or lag is calculated
on is selected in the Tools, Schedule,
Options tab,
This calendar is selected for all activities in a
schedule and
The calendar may be the predecessor’s, the
successor’s, 24 hour or the Project Default
calendar.

HEMP ENGINEERING Pty Ltd

Creating Relationships - Types of logic

A Lag is required because once the permit has
been submitted, there are five working days
waiting period

HEMP ENGINEERING Pty Ltd

Creating Relationships - Formatting relationships

▪ The relationships may be displayed or hidden by:

▪ Clicking on the icon on the Activity toolbar, or
▪ Checking and un-checking the Show Relationships box in

the Bar Chart Options form, General tab.

▪ The color of the relationship represents:

▪ Red - Critical and therefore a Driving relationship,
▪ Solid Black - Non-Critical Driving relationship and therefore

has Free Float,
▪ Dotted Black - Non-Critical Non-Driving relationship and has

Free Float, and
▪ Blue - a selected relationship and may be deleted.

Creating Relationships - Disolving relationships

When an activity is deleted then a chain of logical
activities may be broken,
The Edit, Dissolve command and the right-click
Dissolve command will delete an activity but join
the predecessors and successors with a Finish-to-
Start relationship.

HEMP ENGINEERING Pty Ltd

EPCM Project Management using Primavera

Creating Relationships - Circular relationships

A Circular Relationship is created when a loop is created in the logic,
When you reschedule you will be presented with the Circular Relationships
form, which identifies the loop,
If a loop is detected when scheduling a project, the Circular Loop form is
displayed identifying any loops

HEMP ENGINEERING Pty Ltd

Scheduling the Project

HEMP ENGINEERING Pty Ltd After you have your activities and the logic
in place, Primavera calculates the activities’
EPCM Project Management using Primavera dates/times.
Your Planning & Project Controls Solution

Scheduling the Project

More specifically, Primavera Schedules the
project to calculate the Early Dates, Late
Dates, Free Float and the Total Float.

This will enable you to review the Critical
Path of the project. (Microsoft Project uses
the term Slack instead of the term Float.)

To to open the Schedule form and schedule
a project:

Select Tools, Schedule…, or

Strike the F9 key, or

Click on the schedule icon.
