From: Bob on 2 Feb 2010 10:25 I am using Project 2007 and have a program where the product moves through different stations on its path final completion that I would like to track (electrical, mechanical, coating, etc.). At each station there are various staff members that will be used to complete that section of work. However each time I imput the station as a resource, it counts it as an additional staff member which throws off my costs and task hours. This is a similar question to those asking about assigning equipment as a resource that I saw on the post page. Has anything been done or discovered that would allow me to track the stations of the program. I want to show on a high level how the product moves throughout the stations (not just those individual staff members that work on it). -- Bob

Hi, A solution that worked for one of my customers is to forget about Work and Use Cost instead. Then if you use hours as the currency unit, you can give human resoruces a unit cost of 1 H/Hr, and machinery a cost of 0 H/Hr. That solves it - if you're not using Cost fields for real cost (in Europe practically nobody really uses Cost in Project) HTH -- Jan De Messemaeker Microsoft Project Most Valuable Professional +32 495 300 620 For availabliy check: http://users.online.be/prom-ade/Calendar.pdf "Bob" <Bob(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:1C98C30F-D26A-4C25-A514-9645AC0589B7(a)microsoft.com... >I am using Project 2007 and have a program where the product moves through > different stations on its path final completion that I would like to track > (electrical, mechanical, coating, etc.).
