GANTT CHART

 Henry L. Gantt was the one who first established the Gantt Chart

 It is used for showing activities displayed against time

 There are list of activities on the left hand side & a suitable time scale along the top.

 Each activity is represented by a bar. The position & length of the bar reflecting the start date, duration & end date of the
activity
A Gantt chart is a bar chart that displays a detailed schedule of tasks related to a single project. The
two defining elements of Gantt charts are:
1.    They represent a linear schedule.
2.    They capture task dependencies.

In other words, Gantt charts help show cross-functional teams what work they must complete, in what
order, before they can move on to the next stage of a project.

Another way to understand this: A Gantt chart can help a team set a plan that details how they will
complete a project.
Below table gives the activity schedule & resource requirements for a project. Draw a Gantt Chart representing the
schedule & resources loading chart . What is the peak requirement of the source & on which day does it occur

No. of workers
Activity Duration Start Finish
required
A 3 1 3 30
B 2 2 3 20
C 4 4 7 40
D 5 4 8 50
E 3 7 9 30
F 2 8 9 20
G 2 10 11 60
H 3 10 12 30
I 2 12 13 20
J 3 12 14 50
K 1 15 15 30
Q. For the problem given below in the table, identify the days of maximum requirement of manpower . Plot a Gantt Chart for
resource requirements & a resource graph overtime. If the available manpower is limited to 20, find out the days of overall
location.

A - 8 4
B - 7 8
C A 6 5
D B 8 4
E B 4 8
F B 8 6
G C,D 5 5
H E 6 4
I F 6 5
J G,H,I 10 6
