ACOS Plus 1 is a project management software for planning, controlling and monitoring projects . It was developed in the 1980s and is still being adapted and improved today. The current version is version 9.

General

The software is an industry-neutral, network- based project management or multi- project management system in accordance with DIN 69901 and is primarily used in professional areas, for example in construction, shipbuilding, power plant and plant construction. It provides the project manager and all parties involved in the planning with the information they need to coordinate all planning-relevant parameters. All those involved are always informed about the overall status of the project and can optimize their schedule, cost and capacity planning. The program is currently available in English, German and Portuguese.

Essential functions

The project management client enables

  • Scheduling, capacity and cost planning, order planning
  • Optimization and smoothing of projects
  • Confirmation of dates, capacities and costs
  • Update scheduling, variable target / actual comparison, deviation reports
  • Milestone trend (see milestone (project management) )
  • Multiproject pool, data import / export, network / terminal server
  • Multiuser / multisession
  • Microsoft Access database (ODBC)

user interface

ACOS Plus 1 uses the familiar Windows graphical user interface to map the projects. You can work in many project views from the structure plan to the network plan. It also offers the user little-known functions such as diagrams for milestone and cost trend analysis or compressed bar charts in which several bars are in one line.

distribution

The use of ACOS Plus 1 was required in individual project tenders (e.g. for the expansion of Munich Airport).

The program is taught in individual vocational schools and also in a few general schools from grade 9 and is made available using didactic teaching materials. The company Tampier-Software also provides a free demo version which, with 50 possible processes, enables more than simple exercise examples.

The software is used, for example, by the following companies (selection): Alexandria Shipyard, Bilfinger & Berger, BMW , British Aerospace , CPTM (Companhia Paulista de Trens Metropolitanos), DB ProjektBau , Deutsche Bahn , EADS , E.ON , Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft , Hochtief , Hofmann Modellbau, KPMG , Miele , Royal Australian Air Force , Strabag , Volkswerft Stralsund , Wittfeld.
