Schedule Analysis Summary Module Basics
The Schedule Analysis Summary Module is useful in determining how analysis results are trending through the life of a Project. Whenever the Analysis – Include Summary option is checked, a 2-Page Summary Report is printed along with all the selected analysis reports. In addition, the Summary Report containing the resulting totals of each individual numbered analysis report is saved for later recall.
Each individual Analysis Summary is identified by a unique 6 digit “Series ID”. The prefix “SA” is used to designate a series run for Schedule Analysis. The remaining 4 digits is a unique name created from the system date and system time. Every Schedule Analysis series run can be accessed from the Schedule Analysis Summary Module.
In the illustration below, a series run for Project ID MST-BL1-UP06 designated ‘SAEII3’ was created on 27-Jun-16 at 09:31. From the History Tab, the Schedule Summary Report can be reprinted containing the totals for each analysis report printed for that Series.
Selecting the Excel Export option prints a spreadsheet format of the Series information. The Variance Tab allows any 2 analysis series to be compared. The Item History Tab allows individual reports to be printed. The Item History Tab allows a more detailed trend analysis by grouping analysis line items across multiple Analysis Series runs.
Schedule Analysis Summary History
When a specific Schedule Analysis Summary is selected, and either Printed or Previewed, the output 2 Page Summary report is the same as when the original schedule analysis was performed.
Note that the Series ID on the bottom right corner of the report matches the item selected and highlighted from the History Tab list.

Excel Export The spreadsheet option is extremely useful in copy/pasting the Summary Analysis information into almost any other PC Application.
When the Excel Export command button is selected, the highlighted Schedule Analysis data is saved as an Excel spreadsheet. In addition, a “wait window” is displayed that identifies the output location and the saved filename. The filename structure begins with “SA_” then continues with the combination of the Project ID, a dash, then the Series ID.
The output file is saved in the Zümmer/output folder as shown below:
Upon opening the Summary Analysis Summary spreadsheet, the following information is displayed below:
Schedule Analysis Summary Variance
The Schedule Analysis Summary Variance Tab allows any 2 analysis series to be compared.
In the display above, Series Analysis SA7CSI (Project ID: MH-BL1-UP33 is selected as the 1st Project. Series Analysis SAW3BU (Project ID: MH-BL1-UP34) is selected as the 2nd Project.
Use the search textbox fields to find analysis summary reports by Project ID.
When the Print or Preview command button is selected, the following report is generated.
In the Header Section, the selected Project #1 and Project #2 is displayed along with the Project Names, Total Activities and Data Date for the respective Project ID. The Analysis Variance Reports lists all Analysis Numbered reports 1 through 58.
For corresponding Item listed, the Project #1 count and Project #2 Count are shown side-by-side. The variance displays the difference between the 2 Project counts. A negative variance indicates that the Project #2 Count is less than the Project #1 Count.
Schedule Analysis Summary Item History
The Schedule Analysis Summary Item History Tab works in conjunction with the Selected EPS nodes in the History Settings Module as shown below. The Analysis Summary Item History function will limit its search through Analysis Items that were selected for Projects that exist under the Selected EPS Node.
In the Analysis Item History Selection Tab shown below, the Available Item(s) listbox displays the Analysis Reports that can be selected for reporting. A maximum of 10 Analysis Items can be selected. However, when none are selected, all Analysis Items will be printed or previewed. In the illustration below, Activity with Duplicate Name and External Relationships are selected.
In the printed Analysis Item History Report below, Activities with Duplicate Name and External Relationships which were selected are now displayed.
In the illustration above, note that Duplicate Description analysis was run seven times. The trend for this Analysis Items shows that initially, there were 40 duplicate descriptions. Over the course of the remaining 6 Analysis Series runs, the amount of Duplicate Descriptions has been generally reducing over time. The trend for External Relationships shows that the amount of External Relationship has been generally low, however during Analysis Series run 6 and 7, shows a spike in External Relationships.
