Schedule Warnings

Schedule Warnings

Schedule Warnings provides information on your schedule quality and pays particular attention to any areas that could present an issue when running a risk analysis. You can use the schedule warning to assess your schedule's integrity and credibility.

Whenever you open up a new schedule, Safran Risk automatically prepares a Schedule Warning report by analyzing the schedule and looking for the following items:

• Constraints:
  • As Late As Possible
  • Finish On
  • Finish On Or After
  • Finish On Or Before
  • Must Finish On
  • Must Start On
  • Start On
  • Start On Or After
  • Start On Or Before
• Out of Sequence Activities
• Negative Lags
• Start to Finish Links
• Open-Ended Activities
• Lags Over 10 Percent

These warnings should be assessed within the context of the schedule. Some will have a more detrimental effect than others; for example, a 'Must Finish On' constraint will prevent the schedule from moving freely and can cause misleading results.

You can go to the activity in the schedule by right-clicking on an activity.
