Level 3 schedules are the most used in planning. Level of schedule is usually
decomposed into 5. The intention of decomposing schedule level is to manage and control the
project or task to the manageable level.
Level 1 Schedule is the highest level, called overall project summary level.
It includes major milestones or achievements, highlights major activities and key
deliverables. Especially, it is also used in progress reporting.
Established by the client as an initial plan and can be integrated into level 2 and level 3
schedules which involved sub contractor and vendors in puts (commitments). Examples of
level 1 element are
(a) Engineering, Procurement and Construction (For Oil refinery plant expansion project )
(b) Engineering, Procurement and Construction (For Chemical Plant Shutdown Work)
Level 2 Schedule
Level 4 Schedule is a low level schedule. It consists of the task or work categories
to be carried out. Level 3 schedule is further broken down into level 4 as an execution
schedule (working schedule). The detail task lists and work sequence are shown in this level.
Depending on the nature of project, the level 4 schedule may be level 1 schedule of
subcontractor (and/or) vendors. For example, we have a new project that required the new
pump no- P28 to be purchased and installed. Purchasing of pump materials and
manufacturing steps are apart of pump vendors level 4 element. When the pump vendors
schedule is roll-up into the highest level , the time frame from the purchased order issued date
to deliver date at site, is level 1 element of vendors schedule. That information becomes
main contractors level 4 schedule input. 6 week look-ahead schedule, 3 week look-ahead
schedule are frequently produced form this schedule by filtering the time frame, and
distribute the responsible engineer or manger to plan ahead before getting close to the
targeted
date.
Level 5 schedule is the lowest level of schedule. The task list and work sequence is
usually developed by the task supervisor or engineer and incorporated into level 4 schedule to
monitor day to day work.
