Linear Scheduling in Tilos
Proove Academy provides a three-day Tilos Training – Time Distance Diagrams. This training elaborates on the overall Tilos tool usage. Participants are introduced to what are the possibilities of Time- Distance Diagrams, followed by a step-by-step guide on how to configure the Tilos layout and formatting the Time, Distance and Integrated Cells. Task Templates and Calendars are configured.
The graphical layout of Tilos is set up and continues with an import action of existing data from the planning tool of preference. During part 2 we fine-tune this project using resource work rate simulations and mass haulage diagrams added to the Time Distance Diagram. At the end of this training, the participants will be able to create a Time Distance Diagram using the sample data, but also on their own projects. Participants are requested to bring their own data. The trainer will be at your disposal to answer your queries.

Why this training
Studies show that different minds require different representations of data, and furthermore that a graphical representation is the most effective one. Tilos offers a solution where the timeline is interfaced with a linear representation of your project. The resulting drawing is a one page representation of (a part of) your project where phases and locations are coupled. Equipment movement is clearly shown, alongside the (in)availability of locations in certain timepoints.
Tilos has an integrated scheduling engine, integrates with Primavera P6 and Excel, and offers tools to optimize mass haulage calculations.
Learning Goals

- Plan work following resource efficiencies
- Simulate Mass Haulage
Sections
Part 1
- Time Distance Diagrams (TDD): an introduction
- TDD: Practical Examples

- Mass Haulage simulation in Tilos
- Printing Time Distance Diagrams in Tilos
Learning method
The first part of the training is mainly focusing on the tool configuration and not on scheduling in Tilos. The overall idea is to keep the planning tool (Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project) as a leading tool. The TDD created is the build of a tunnel with several linear activities and only contains time and distance data.
For part two, we require the users to have been trained in scheduling best practices or have extensive scheduling experience. Proove provides Scheduling best practices, Primavera P6 basic, and MSP training to facilitate this. Having followed one of the former training courses or day-to-day experience is required to enroll in this part of the training. The second part can be left out of the training with a one-day discount.
Target audience
Project planners or project managers looking for a different way to visualize their project phase planning.
