Handle resources in Aras Project Management possible?

Hi, We have Parts/Products in the PLM, that require additional testing until the product is ready for production. We currently evaluate, what´s the best way to organize these tests. The Aras Project Management feature might be a suitable solution, as it can easily be used to schedule and define certain Activities. In our case, some of the Activities require additional resources to be completed. These can be special measurement equipment or personal to handle the tests. Some of these resources are limited and can not be used more than once at the same time (e.g. heat chamber). I have to admit, that resource planning may not be something, that is typically done by a PLM system. But in our case it would be a helpful feature, as people don´t have to leave the PLM environment for creating and planning new products. Managing tests in the PLM would also help to insure the traceability back to the requirements that are used as basis for the test plans. Is it currently possible to do some basic resource planning in the current Project Management release? Or are there any other options in Aras available that can be used for this task? Thanks again!

  • Hi Angela, I went througt your solution and you defined well the basic for the Resource Management in ARAS. Good job. You added also some visualization, which is very important in my case. My use case should support the visualization as an overview of the Resource planning/spending through the projects (active or/and pending) including several filters (like: by project, by team (defined from multiple Resources), by resource, by date range, etc.). To support this use case I checked the "Resource Chart" control (Dojox.Gantt control). link: archive.dojotoolkit.org/.../test_Gantt.html Is that kind of the visualization relevant for your use case? Regards, Primož
