PROPLAN is a comprehensive Project Planning, Networking, and Scheduling Software tailored specifically for Mega EPC Projects. It enables efficient creation, monitoring, and management of project plans, enhancing productivity through detailed tracking and accurate forecasting.

Features

Project Planning & Scheduling

• Create detailed Project Baseline Plans.
• Track and monitor actual project progress against the baseline.
• Provision for creating Revised Plans and comparing them with Baseline or other Revision Plans at activity and parameter levels (Start Date, End Date, Duration, Quantity, Dependencies, etc.).

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

• Hierarchical creation and management of WBS structures and associated activities.

Activity Quantification

• Quantify each activity with customizable Units of Measurement (UOM), such as Inch-Diameter for piping and Metric Tonnes (MT) for structural fabrication.

Activity Duration and Dependencies

• Define durations and dependencies (predecessors & successors) to accurately generate Network Schedules.

Weightage & Quantity-Based Planning

• Assign weightage and Standard Manhours (SMH) to each activity.
• Track progress based on actual quantities completed.

Distribution Methods

• Automatic distribution of activity quantities based on:
  • Normal Distribution Logic (S-Curve)
  • Linear Distribution Logic
  • Manual Distribution (Planner-driven)

S-Curve Generation & Tracking

• Automatic generation of S-Curves at Project, WBS, and Activity levels.
• Comparison and tracking against actual progress.

Resource Management

• Define and associate resources such as manpower, machinery, consumables, and expenses.
• Establish crews/gangs with specific production rates, controlling resource engagement and associated costs through master settings.

Critical Path Analysis

• Perform critical path analysis to identify and report critical and near-critical activities.

Progress Monitoring & Reporting

• Generate detailed Planned vs. Actual S-Curves.
• Forecast trends based on current, scheduled, or desired progress rates.
• Effort-based progress calculation using individual activity quantities and SMH.

Resource Estimation & Reporting

• Comprehensive project-level resource estimation.
• Generate overall manpower and machinery requirements reports on daily, weekly, or monthly intervals.

Progress and Resource Utilization Tracking

• Record actual progress and resource usage (daily, weekly, monthly).
• Generate detailed reports highlighting additional resources required to address delays.

Data Integration & Refinement

• Import data in *.xer format from other planning software.
• Facilitate activity breakdown into finer details for comprehensive monitoring.

Access Control

• Activity-level access controls to ensure users update and interact only with assigned discipline-specific activities (e.g., Piping Discipline User).

Benefits

• Improved accuracy in project planning and forecasting.
• Enhanced project control through detailed monitoring.
• Optimized resource allocation and utilization.
• Efficient identification of critical paths and delay mitigation strategies.
• Reduced risk of delays and cost overruns
• Enhanced visibility and control over project progress
• Improved communication and collaboration between team members
• Integration with : Oracle Primavera® via XER file Import/Export, Microsoft Project® via XML Import/Export, Microsoft Excel® Import/Export
