Pace of work
The "pace of work" variable
- Depends on whether the rate of production is optimized
For example
- If the target delivery date is set sooner
- Than an optimal program of work suggests
- Then the work must be accelerated
- By applying additional resources, or overtime
- Either may imply additional cost to perform
- And possibly additional risk due to increased complexity in coordination
- If the work is prolonged
- Extra costs result from idle capacity
