tasks requiring specialized skills
¨The project is temporary but critical to the
organization

Purposes of Project Scheduling
¨Shows the relationship of each activity to
others and to the project as a whole
¨Identifies the precedence relationships
among activities
¨Encourages the setting of realistic time and
cost estimates for each activity
¨Helps make better use of people, money, and
material resources by identifying critical
bottlenecks

PERT and CPM
¨ Network techniques
¨ Developed in 1950’s
¨ CPM by DuPont for chemical plants
¨ PERT by U.S. Navy for Polaris missile
¨ Consider precedence relationships and
interdependencies
¨ Each uses a different estimate of activity
times

Management, 6E (Heizer & Render) 16-33
Questions Which May Be Addressed by
PERT & CPM
¨ Is the project on schedule, ahead of schedule,
or behind schedule?
¨ Is the project over or under cost budget?
¨ Are there enough resources available to finish
the project on time?
¨ If the project must be finished in less than the
scheduled amount of time, what is the way to
accomplish this at least cost?
PowerPoint presentation to accompany Operations © 2001 by Prentice Hall, Inc., Upper Saddle River, N.J. 07458
Management, 6E (Heizer & Render) 16-34
The Six Steps Common to PERT &
CPM
➀ Define the project and all of its significant activities
or tasks
➁ Develop relationships among the activities. (Decide
which activities must precede and which must
follow others.)
➂ Draw the network connecting all of the activities
➃ Assign time and cost estimates to each activity
➄ Compute the longest time path through the network.
This is called the critical path
➅ Use the network to help plan, schedule, monitor, and
control the project
