About this simulation

Owner just demanded 6-week-earlier delivery on a baselined 38-week construction CPM, while a Week-12 progress shock has eaten the float. Diagnose the schedule, absorb the variance, rank fast-tracking and crashing options by cost-per-week, and defend a go / counter-offer / decline recommendation that survives the owner CFO and the bank covenant.

Who it is for

An advanced simulation for participants used to working with the main frameworks and trade-offs of the subject, designed for executive education and experienced professionals.

How a session runs

  1. The instructor creates a session from the Eureka dashboard and invites the participants.
  2. Participants play 4 rounds. In each one they submit their decisions and the simulation calculates the results.
  3. The simulation can be run in English, Español.
  4. The instructor follows each participant's progress and results from the dashboard, and uses the class results for the debrief.

Decisions participants make

The decisions participants make during the simulation:

  • Critical-path total duration (weeks)
  • Average total float on non-critical chains (days)
  • WBS coding errors detected
  • Number of near-critical chains identified
  • EAC at current CPI (COP M, rounded)
  • New critical chain after the slip
  • Disclose the Week-12 slip to the owner
  • Formwork crew — being poached, decide in 4 minutes
  • Target completion week
  • Compression menu — select all you intend to apply
