Total Float Consumption (TFC) generally\napplies to Projects that have a fixed end date. For these Projects, consumption\nof Total Float (TF) is a real commodity that should be monitored just as\nzealously as the Critical Path. Most Project Specifications classify TF as a\n\u201cshared resource\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if the TF of an early\nactivity is consumed, the TF values of its successor activities can be consumed\naccordingly. This effect can result in placing a disproportionate burden upon\nother later activities along a common TF path. In addition, TFC can also\nincrease the risk of completing the Project on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the illustration below, the overall Project is completing \u201cOn Schedule\u201d. However, activity \u201cPR1150 \u2013 Roadway Design 90% – Prepare & Submit\u201d is completing later when compared to the baseline schedule causing its TF value to decrease from 35 to 25 days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This causes a cascading effect\nwhere other activities along the same TF path have decreasing TF values as\nwell. For Example, activity \u201cPR1100 \u2013 Area Roadway Construction\u201d which happens\nto be the last activity along the same TF path experiences an equal reduction\nin TF value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Z\u00fcmmer\u2019s Comparison Report, shown below, \u201cTotal Float Consumption\u201d calculates the Gross TF between the Control and Modified selected Projects. In addition, the net Gained\/Loss Gross TF is calculated along with the Gained\/Loss TF Percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
