Most users are generating Z\u00fcmmer CPM Analysis &amp; Comparison reports minutes after installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simply identify the 1) \u201cControl\u201d Schedule and 2) the \u201cModified\u201d Schedule and you\u2019re ready to run an Analysis Series and\/or a Comparison Series of reports. It\u2019s that simple. Each Analysis\/Comparison report is well defined and many are numbered to match a line item in an optional 2-Page Summary Report. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Streamlines\nand standardizes technical review time<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"832\" height=\"467\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foxquestsystems.net\/foxblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/T04-Figure-2-Analysis-Selection-Screen.jpg?resize=832%2C467\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1144\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foxquestsystems.net\/foxblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/T04-Figure-2-Analysis-Selection-Screen.jpg?w=832&amp;ssl=1 832w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foxquestsystems.net\/foxblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/T04-Figure-2-Analysis-Selection-Screen.jpg?resize=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foxquestsystems.net\/foxblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/T04-Figure-2-Analysis-Selection-Screen.jpg?resize=768%2C431&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Running a schedule analysis or schedule comparison is easy\nand takes just a few minutes. The result is a series of professional grade\nreports, graphics and optional 2-Page summary that provides a complete profile\nof the CPM Schedule changes, status, quality and overall content. By performing\na consistent analysis\/comparison on a regular basis, you can be sure that each\nschedule update is of the highest quality keeping you and the project team\nup-to-date with the best possible and most reliable schedule information\navailable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Flexibility\nin Series Analysis\/Comparison Report Content<\/strong>. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"832\" height=\"466\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foxquestsystems.net\/foxblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/T04-Figure-3-Analysis-Selection-Screen.jpg?resize=832%2C466\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foxquestsystems.net\/foxblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/T04-Figure-3-Analysis-Selection-Screen.jpg?w=832&amp;ssl=1 832w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foxquestsystems.net\/foxblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/T04-Figure-3-Analysis-Selection-Screen.jpg?resize=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foxquestsystems.net\/foxblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/T04-Figure-3-Analysis-Selection-Screen.jpg?resize=768%2C430&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have complete control over the number of reports\ngenerated with each Analysis or Comparison Series.

When it comes to schedule updates, the Scheduler is typically the last link in the update process. It is vital that the Scheduler prepare and deliver CPM schedule updates with the highest level of confidence that all activities and activity changes are checked prior to delivery. The Scheduler\u2019s as well as the Corporate\u2019s reputation is at stake every time a product changes hands. Why take chances? When the Scheduler complete a schedule update, an attached Z\u00fcmmer schedule analysis and comparison report not only demonstrates a high-level professionalism, but also provides the reviewer with a level of confidence that the update was performed with the highest level of care and concern for accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Identifies\ncost anomalies relative to activity status.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1153\" height=\"897\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.foxquestsystems.net\/foxblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/T227-Analysis-Report-Chapter-6-Expense-Profile-with-Actuals.jpg?fit=840%2C654&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foxquestsystems.net\/foxblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/T227-Analysis-Report-Chapter-6-Expense-Profile-with-Actuals.jpg?w=1153&amp;ssl=1 1153w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foxquestsystems.net\/foxblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/T227-Analysis-Report-Chapter-6-Expense-Profile-with-Actuals.jpg?resize=300%2C233&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foxquestsystems.net\/foxblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/T227-Analysis-Report-Chapter-6-Expense-Profile-with-Actuals.jpg?resize=1024%2C797&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foxquestsystems.net\/foxblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/T227-Analysis-Report-Chapter-6-Expense-Profile-with-Actuals.jpg?resize=768%2C597&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to large schedule networks that are resource loaded, it doesn\u2019t take long before tasks and cost get out of whack.
