Shadowing Practice: 26. Assign Resources in Primavera P6 - Learn English Speaking with Video

Now let's assign resources.

You go to resource.

We added already the carpenter here.

So we will just go ahead and assign both steel fixer and carpenters.

So there are a couple of options.

I can go one by one.

So I opened here the resource in a separate window.

So I can click on any activity that has steel fixer resource.

I click control on my keyboard select also the slab rebar I have also this activity

and this activity and I make just one click

so it will be assigned on all activities here

so under the resources you will find that all rebar activities are signed by

but I chose the carpenter so how can I remove that

so it's a mistake so how can I remove that you can also select all

and select remove from here the X symbol so for four times I make four yeses this assign the steel fixer

I click assign now steel fixers assigned let's do for the carpenters I have here also four activities for slabs

and columns and I will assign carpenter this time okay

so for the column rebar I have the steel fixer assigned

here the resource ID name steel fixer price per unit i cannot change it

because it should have been previously identified in the resource creation

and rate type it's a price per unit you can have more units

so price per unit by default and also you can have different rates

so if you go to resources you have under the units

and prices so this is effective date for this price per unit

or the maximum units per time so from 1st of january i have maybe 12

dollar per hours and maybe by by october the same year i will hire a new subcontractor

so the same resource will have higher hourly price so you can always add the effective dates you know and

different criterias for effective dates and promovera will detect that accordingly and update your usage profile and the resources and locations

data source is resource we'll give it resource

and this is a primary resource also

so budgeted units this is the most important part

and it has to be done very accurately

because it changes everything everything on resources is based on the budgeted unit

and so it's in case of labors it's a budgeted hours

if i am having materials so it's a budgeted unit so

and we identified the steel also as a material

so let's assign it as well we have the steel rebar here

so i will select all steel repairs activities click assign for steel repair

so for a labor budget units is budgeted hours

so let's say i want to have 10 steel fixers

so 10 steel fixers are working 10 hours per day

so this means a hundred hours per day worth of labor work and i have five days

of work so this means the budget units overall hours are 500.

i will do it again

so let's it was like say it's another value

so i can also keep it from the remaining units per time

because it's a baseline so the remaining units is actually the planned work

so if i want to assign 10 labors this is my objective 10 labors per day

so 10 day 10 10 labors per day working for 10 hours per day so it's a hundred labor hours

so here remaining units per time so the number per day

so a hundred per day once i put a hundred per

day it will multiply by how many days this activity has

so five days times 100 so overall hours 500

so you can calculate it either way you can calculate it separately

and just type the overall positive units as i did the first time

or you can only calculate the daily units how many hours you will be working per day

so what if i have two labors only so maybe small activity

so two steel fixers per day

so two steel fixers per day each one works for 10 hours per day

so it means i have 20 labor hours per day

so i do here 20 and it will be 20 per day

so overall 100 20 labor hours times 5 so it's 100

actual units when we do the update so based on my update so how many units are actually consumed

so i allocated 100 but how many labors showed up at work

and how many labors are consumed up to this moment

when on data date i am updating the program

so you can put it here the remaining units also on your update

but by default in a biz line the remaining equals the budget

because there is no actual so the remaining is the same as planned work

or budgeted work for the stillery bar everything Everything is the same

but here the budget units for me is not ours it's ton the unit I identified before

So the unit for resources for labor resources, is our.

For the material, it depends on your material type.

So steady bar, I identified ton.

So let's say we have two tons. So that's it.

So overall, ten, two times.

You don't have here to mention the quantities per day.

It doesn't make sense.

You have for this activity, overall quantity to be accomplished, two tons.

maybe Promavera will calculate for you how much you need to

accomplish per day it's hard to calculate it this way to determine the quantity per day

so this number should be available for you right away you put two tons per day

and let's do for the formwork

so you should have identified the labors the planned labors you

need to assign for each activity then you go one by one and

just type the budget units or how many hours labor hours per day

so let's do the column formwork i will need five labors

so let's say like it's a realistic number

so let's say 10 steel fixers and 10 carpenters

so 10 steel fixers working for 10 hours per day

so 100 hours overall per day so 100 here

and also for carpenters the same i want also 100 per day slab form work also

so let's just say

that we have 10 labors 10 steel fixtures 10 carpenters working

for the concrete work in our project we make it also 100

okay so now we assigned the carpenters and the steel fixers in our project

and in the next video we will talk about the resources histograms and usage profiles

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
