15. 3 - 15© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Six Steps PERT & CPM 1.Define the project and prepare the work breakdown structure 2.Develop relationships among the activities - decide which activities must precede and which must follow others 3.Draw the network connecting all of the activities

16. 3 - 16© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Six Steps PERT & CPM 4.Assign time and/or cost estimates to each activity 5.Compute the longest time path through the network – this is called the critical path 6.Use the network to help plan, schedule, monitor, and control the project

17. 3 - 17© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall 1.When will the entire project be completed? 2.What are the critical activities or tasks in the project? 3.Which are the noncritical activities? 4.What is the probability the project will be completed by a specific date? Questions PERT & CPM Can Answer

18. 3 - 18© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall 5.Is the project on schedule, behind schedule, or ahead of schedule? 6.Is the money spent equal to, less than, or greater than the budget? 7.Are there enough resources available to finish the project on time? 8.If the project must be finished in a shorter time, what is the way to accomplish this at least cost? Questions PERT & CPM Can Answer

61. 3 - 61© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Variability of Completion Time for Noncritical Paths  Variability of times for activities on noncritical paths must be considered when finding the probability of finishing in a specified time  Variation in noncritical activity may cause change in critical path

62. 3 - 62© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall What Project Management Has Provided So Far 1.The project’s expected completion time is 15 weeks 2.There is a 71.57% chance the equipment will be in place by the 16 week deadline 3.Five activities (A, C, E, G, and H) are on the critical path 4.Three activities (B, D, F) are not on the critical path and have slack time 5.A detailed schedule is available

63. 3 - 63© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Trade-Offs and Project Crashing  The project is behind schedule  The completion time has been moved forward It is not uncommon to face the following situations: Shortening the duration of the project is called project crashing

64. 3 - 64© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Factors to Consider When Crashing a Project  The amount by which an activity is crashed is, in fact, permissible  Taken together, the shortened activity durations will enable us to finish the project by the due date  The total cost of crashing is as small as possible

65. 3 - 65© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Steps in Project Crashing 1.Compute the crash cost per time period. If crash costs are linear over time: Crash cost per period = (Crash cost – Normal cost) (Normal time – Crash time) 2.Using current activity times, find the critical path and identify the critical activities

66. 3 - 66© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Steps in Project Crashing 3.If there is only one critical path, then select the activity on this critical path that (a) can still be crashed, and (b) has the smallest crash cost per period. If there is more than one critical path, then select one activity from each critical path such that (a) each selected activity can still be crashed, and (b) the total crash cost of all selected activities is the smallest. Note that the same activity may be common to more than one critical path.

67. 3 - 67© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Steps in Project Crashing 4.Update all activity times. If the desired due date has been reached, stop. If not, return to Step 2.

71. 3 - 71© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Advantages of PERT/CPM 1.Especially useful when scheduling and controlling large projects 2.Straightforward concept and not mathematically complex 3.Graphical networks help highlight relationships among project activities 4.Critical path and slack time analyses help pinpoint activities that need to be closely watched

72. 3 - 72© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Advantages of PERT/CPM 5.Project documentation and graphics point out who is responsible for various activities 6.Applicable to a wide variety of projects 7.Useful in monitoring not only schedules but costs as well

73. 3 - 73© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall 1.Project activities have to be clearly defined, independent, and stable in their relationships 2.Precedence relationships must be specified and networked together 3.Time estimates tend to be subjective and are subject to fudging by managers 4.There is an inherent danger of too much emphasis being placed on the longest, or critical, path Limitations of PERT/CPM
