121001 - Schedule is prepared on Microsoft Project.
121003 -  ..
121004 - It is a CPM, but the printed version does not show dependencies.
121006 -  ..
121007 - Current schedule is dated 940817 (Aug 17, 1994)

121011 - Questions on Schedule
121012 -
121013 - Impacts of weather?
121014 -
121015 -            labor strikes
121016 -
121017 -            materials
121019 -  ..
121020 - The schedule shows some critical Right of Way constraints that appear
121021 - to control start of PG&E construction (e.g. 1.1.8), however, Bill was
121022 - thinking about ALSO showing pipeline and/or other construction for
121023 - which CDWR is responsible, as controlling the start and pace of PG&E
121024 - transmission line construction, ref SDS 3 line 69.
121025 -       ..
121026 -       These considerations are not clear from the schedule.
121028 -        ..
121029 -       [Bill and I reviewed this when the Schedule was updated on
121030 -       940907, and decided we need to meet with CDWR planning staff to
121031 -       interpret their schedule relative to impact on PG&E work, ref
121032 -       SDS 5 line 93; later we modified PG&E's schedule to reflect
121033 -       "Operational" completion dates for CDWR tasks, per ref SDS 8
121034 -       line 71.]
121036 -  ..
121037 - Where is the engineering and construction of grounding work, that may
121038 - result from Maria's study?
121039 -
121040 -       Actually, her study should be in the schedule, and an interface
121041 -       to something.
121042 -
121043 -       [Bill and I reviewed this when the Schedule was updated on
121044 -       940907, and decided there is no need for an activity for this,
121045 -       ref SDS 7 line 59.]
121046 -
121048 -  ..
121049 - What controls Maria's grounding study, and what does it control?
121050 - Should there be an interface in the schedule?
121051 -
121052 -       She indicated in the meeting at Cordellia last week, that she
121053 -       needs information from CDWR, ref SDS 4 line 82. This constraint
121054 -       could be included in the schedule.
121056 -        ..
121057 -       [Bill and I reviewed this when the Schedule was updated on
121058 -       940907, and decided there is no need for an activity for this,
121059 -       ref SDS 7 line 59.]
121061 -  ..
121062 - The 70 KV line from Arco substation to Polonio Pass, is there any
121063 - sequencing that needs to be thought about for the steel tower work in
121064 - relation to the wood pole work, and the construction of the pipeline?
121065 -
121066 -       [Bill and I reviewed this when the Schedule was updated on
121067 -       940907, and decided there is no need for an activity for this,
121068 -       ref SDS 7 line 59.]
121070 -  ..
121071 - There is a desire to finish before the end of 1996, in order to avoid
121072 - significant delay from statutory mandate for additional environmental
121073 - impact review, commonly referred to as General Order 131-D.  How is
121074 - this reflected in the schedule?
121075 -
121076 -    Right now it is not reflected.  PG&E is investigating on behalf of
121077 -    CDWR, to see if delay can be avoided.

170701 -  ..
170702 - Subject Index for CDWR Requires Multiple Associations Common Patterns
170703 -
170704 - Follow up ref SDS 5 0000.
170705 -
170706 - I feel a little better this evening about getting the subject index
170707 - for the CDWR project at PG&E to fall out logically and not wind up
170708 - with an unweildly, complicated mess.
170710 -  ..
170711 - The section created for Policy and Procedures simply duplicates all of
170712 - the other primary sections, since each of them could be the subject of
170713 - activity for various contexts to determine management procedures,
170714 - methods, etc.
170716 -  ..
170717 - Duplication of organic structure applies the biological process of
170718 - using common patterns to build multiple forms and levels for strength
170719 - through diversity.  So, too, human knowledge, meaning, and thought
170720 - arise from granular diversity of alternate associations.  Common
170721 - patterns assembled in multiple ways and levels more accurately
170722 - represents real world complexity, reviewed on 890523. ref SDS 1 XT6O
170724 -  ..
170725 - Alternatively, we could have under the "General" subject for each main
170726 - Subject, another subject for "Policy & Procedures."  We'll just have
170727 - to work with it for awhile to see if a trend develops that shows the
170728 - most common way of viewing common associations of daily work with
170729 - requirements, objectives, and commitments.
170731 -  ..
170732 - Representing complexity in the subject index with multiple views takes
170733 - time to create a physical rendering of associations that are currently
170734 - accomplished subconsciously on "automatic pilot." Experience doing
170735 - detailed indexing will suggest tools that make creating connections
170736 - faster and easier.  In any case, connecting common patterns in the
170737 - subject index may be the level of effort required to save time and
170738 - money performing rework to correct mistakes, and to save lives
170739 - preventing failure.  On 921127 Morris complained that correlations,
170740 - implications and nuance conceal complications and consequences until
170741 - major problems explode on the scene from details overlooked by the fog
170742 - of confusion due to limited span of attention. ref SDS 2 0674
170743 -
170744 -    [On 970707 USAFIT entropic model posits that management large
170745 -    projects degrades toward failure, ref SDS 9 628M, because
170746 -    everybody is talking and nobody is listening. ref SDS 9 0108
170748 -     ..
170749 -    [On 040312 subject index makes complexity productive by managing
170750 -    connections of cause and effect, ref SDS 11 5P9I, under the
170751 -    locality principle, also, explained on 040312. ref SDS 10 L22S

190502 - There is a difference at least in form between the Controls Scope for
190503 - the SLO 115 KV line, and the Schedule for the same thing. The Schedule
190504 - has considerable detail that is lacking under scope, including FAA
190505 - notification.
