Explanation:
Estimating Activity Resources is “the process of estimating the type and quantities
of material, people, equipment, or supplies to perform each activity.”
If the contract documents require resource and/or cost loading, the
Scheduler must assign resources to the activities. Even if the contract does not require resource /
cost loading, it is
good practice; “by assigning (i.e. loading) resources for each activity, available resources can be
scheduled in
accordance with resource consumption limitations (i.e., money, labor hours, etc) by resource
leveling or balancing”
