Resource Group Buffer Scale

During planning, the system multiplies this value by the Buffer In and Buffer Out values defined on every resource group. Increasing or decreasing the buffer times through this global parameter will allow you to uniformly adjust the slack in the plan without manually adjusting the buffer times on individual operations (resource group buffer time is added to the operation's Finish and Move hours). A value of 1.0 indicates no buffer scale.

For example, suppose a resource group's Buffer In is 1.0 hours and Buffer Out is 2.0 hours. If you enter 2.0 in the Resource Group Buffer Scale field, the Buffer In becomes 2 hours and the Buffer Out value becomes 4 hours.

Default: 1
