Weightage Configuration

Overview

Every quality check in Kazinex carries a weight that determines how much it affects the overall quality score. The Weightage Configuration panel lets you raise or lower the importance of individual checks so the score reflects your project's priorities.

For example, a project that relies heavily on resource loading might increase the weight of resource checks while reducing the weight of constraint checks.

Prerequisites

• A schedule loaded in Kazinex.
• Access to the Quality tab.

How Weights Work

Kazinex calculates the quality score using a weighted average:

Quality Score = Σ(Check Scoreᵢ × Weightᵢ) / Σ Weightᵢ

Each check has a score from 0 to 100 and a weight from 0 to 10. Higher-weighted checks have more influence on the final score.

Default Weights

The system ships with four presets that assign weights automatically:

Preset	Description
DCMA Standard	Balanced weights aligned with the DCMA 14-Point Assessment. Best for US government and defence contracts.
Logic-Heavy	Increases weight on logic, relationship, and critical-path checks. Best for complex, relationship-dense schedules.
Progress-Focused	Increases weight on progress, status, and earned value checks. Best for schedules in the execution phase.
Equal Weight	Every check receives the same weight. Best for general-purpose analysis.

Step-by-Step: Adjust Weights

1. Open the Quality tab.
2. Click the Settings gear icon to open Quality Settings.
3. Select the Weightage tab in the settings panel.
4. Choose a preset from the dropdown, or leave it on Custom to set weights manually.
5. For each check category, drag the slider or type a number between 0 and 10.
6. Set a weight to 0 to exclude a check entirely from the score calculation.
7. Click Apply to recalculate the quality score with the new weights.

Weight Categories

Weights are grouped by check category:

Category	Checks	Default Weight
Logic Checks	Missing predecessors, missing successors, open-ended activities	8
Duration Checks	Zero-duration tasks, excessive durations, remaining duration	7
Constraint Checks	Hard constraints, mandatory constraints, date constraints	6
Critical Path Checks	Critical path length, negative float, high float	8
Resource Checks	Missing resources, over-allocation, resource calendars	5
Progress Checks	Status date consistency, out-of-sequence progress, percent complete	7
Configuration Checks	Calendar assignments, WBS structure, project settings	4
Best Practice Checks	Naming conventions, activity codes, relationship types	3
Regional Checks	Region-specific standards and conventions	2

Tips

• Start with the DCMA Standard preset and adjust from there.
• Set resource check weights to 0 if your schedule does not include resource assignments.
• Weights are saved per project. Different projects can have different weight configurations.
• Export your custom weight profile to reuse it across projects.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Solution
Score did not change after adjusting weights	Click Apply to trigger a recalculation.
All weights reset after reopening	Ensure you clicked Save in the settings panel.
Cannot set weight above 10	10 is the maximum. Use relative differences between checks to express priority.
