What is Z\u00fcmmer?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Z\u00fcmmer (pronounced [zoo-mer]) is a tool developed by FoxQuest Systems, Inc.<\/a> to analyze and compare Critical Path Method (CPM) Schedules created using Primavera P6.<\/p>\n\n\n

History of Z\u00fcmmer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The development of Z\u00fcmmer began in 2007 and was created to analyze the multitude of CPM schedules involved in the Miami International Airports $3 Billion North Terminal Development Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some modules have roots that can be traced as far back as the early 1990’s where data from Primavera P3 was exported into a database file and then reports and graphs were generated from data records across multiple projects and project updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Z\u00fcmmer Features<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although there are many analysis and comparison tools in the market today, Z\u00fcmmer has many benefits and features that make it an excellent choice over other options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Z\u00fcmmer allows the user to pick and choose reports to either preview or print. This is an important consideration since most other options force you to generate a mountain of reports from which you then must wade through and select reports you really need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Z\u00fcmmer reads data in real time. There’s no need to import XER files to print reports then re-import after changes are made. Z\u00fcmmer uses SQL Connection Strings to connect to the data source. Once the connection is established, Z\u00fcmmer reads from the same data source as P6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) Z\u00fcmmer generates reports and graphs in a presentable, easy-to-read format that can be directly inserted into a presentation package or displayed on screen in a visual presentation scenario. None of the Z\u00fcmmer Reports or Graphs appears like hard-to-read computer-lab generated lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) For Schedulers submitting P6 Schedules to clients, Z\u00fcmmer helps to ensure that your deliverables are the best quality schedules compliant with typical scheduling specifications. Z\u00fcmmer can help you avoid common scheduling miscues such as “Open Ends”, “Non-Overlapping Lags” or “Duplicate Descriptions”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5) For Clients receiving P6 Schedules, Z\u00fcmmer ensures that you are receiving the best possible specification compliant schedules. By producing and returning Z\u00fcmmer reports to your submitter, you can demonstrate your commitment to high quality schedules throughout the life of the Project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6) Z\u00fcmmer allows you to generate graphs of Task Count Histograms, Float Distribution, Cash Flow, and others that are simply not possible in P6. Furthermore, the graphical reports are generated using Microsoft’s “Office Automation” capabilities. This means that the graphs are generated from the same high-quality graphing engine found in Microsoft Excel. Z\u00fcmmer automatically generates a copy of the graph along with the source data, saved and output to a distinct Excel spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is stored in Z\u00fcmmer’s “output” folder which allows for further customization and pasting into other file formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7) Z\u00fcmmer contains a unique and powerful module named ‘Activity History’. This module allows the user to report and graph the historical status and Start\/Finish date of any activity for all Projects maintained in up to 10 different Enterprise Project Structure (EPS) nodes. Given an activity’s progress over multiple Project updates, Z\u00fcmmer can even generate a trend analysis projection that predicts a forecasted activity completion date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8) Z\u00fcmmer even performs maintenance analysis at the “Enterprise” level. Z\u00fcmmer check for anomalous Enterprise level usage relating to Global Calendar & inheritance usage and Global Activity Code usage. Z\u00fcmmer also facilitates the review of Baseline usage and assignments and helps maintain a ‘lean & mean” database file size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9) Z\u00fcmmer has 3 coding management modules (Level 2 Projects, Work Orders and Issues) that allow users to track and report Subproject information based on User maintained Activity Coding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10) Z\u00fcmmer also keeps track of your Analysis & Comparison reporting efforts. By maintaining a record of each Analysis\/Comparison run known as a ‘Series’, users can analyze historical submittal results and compare the quality of each submittal. This step allows users to determine if the quality of schedule submittals are improving or getting worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11) For larger construction Projects and Programs, consultation and customization is possible for additional reports that can be stored in the Monthly or Other Reports module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
