Redundancy Analysis

A redundant link occurs when, in addition to the link in question, there is a more detailed logic link between the same two activities.

For example, a link from Activity A to Activity C is made redundant by an existing link from Activity A to Activity B and another one from Activity B to Activity C.

The Redundancy Analysis process checks the entire schedule and sets a flag on relationships that are redundant. After you run the process, Open Plan displays the Relationship Spreadsheet view where the Redundant Flag column indicates the redundant relationships. If needed, you can filter on this flag.

After the analysis is complete, you can right-click in the view and select Redundant Logic to display the Redundant Logic dialog box. The top grid includes the redundant relationships that were identified by the analysis and the bottom grid includes the relationships that make that relationship redundant. The top grid includes a Delete button to delete the relationship. You cannot edit or change relationships in this grid.

To run the anaylsis, navigate to the Processes tab and click Redundancy Analysis in the Tools menu group.
