SSUD12-112: Project Resource Management

Description

Effective decision-making in projectised environments relies on a clear understanding of time, cost, and resource constraints. This subject explores how human, material, and equipment resources are planned, acquired, and managed throughout the project lifecycle—from initiation to closure. Students will examine key topics including leadership and team dynamics, labour and plant planning, material resourcing, resource calendars, levelling techniques, and performance evaluation. The subject emphasises practical strategies to optimise productivity and ensure the efficient use of project resources.
