Timescale - Whole Project

A2 Production Planning Schedule

I did this to show that I have good use of time management and can use the time to its full advantage and be organised. This has helped me see what and when things need to be done and helps me organise between my practical and written work.

I have learnt from this that sometimes things take longer or a shorter time that I originally thought and I had to change some of the above. It just proves to me that to keep on top of things time management is very important.

I have not filled in the rest of this as the time scales on this were quite unpredictable and some tasks were on and off due to people being away so I have not stuck to this but this shows what the times a though they would take and that things take a lot more time than originally though. However, everything is still on track and this just shows that I am planning and thinking about time and what I need to do within the time.
