submission: Introduction to project management Program Evaluation and Review Technique This is simply the project managing method which in turn gives the time used by each factor of a project, and the amount of time needed for it to be finished. PERT tends to divide the project keen on activities and events that should be done. It comes up with a sequence which revolves around associations, and period in a structure of network. Basically the lines that are used in the link of the events are called

SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN (PERT) AND (CPM) Critical Path Analysis and PERT are powerful tools that help you to schedule and manage complex projects. They were developed in the 1950s to control large defense projects, and have been used routinely since then. Program (Project) Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) is a project management tool used to schedule, organize, and coordinate tasks within a project. It is basically a method to analyze the tasks involved in completing a given

of University of Zabol, is carried out by CPM (Critical Path Method) and PERT (Program Evaluation Review Technique) methods. Results show that the minimum completion time of this project, based on using Normal time and PERT method is 390 days and 364.67 days, respectively. Also the results obtained from employing CPM method indicate that the cost of reducing the project completion time to 365 days is 23643530 Rials.

ANALYSIS (PERT & CPM) It is a technique through which large projects are broken down to individual jobs or events and arranged in a logical network. PERT and CPM are two such network-based techniques designed to assist in the planning, scheduling, and control of projects. A project is defined as a collection of interrelated activities with each activity consuming time and resources. PERT: Program Evaluation and Review Technique CPM : Critical Path Method. Framework of PERT and CPM There are

THE IMPORTANCE OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT Globalization has changed the way business organizations work. Modern organizations face bigger and harder challenges as competitions and technology grow. Growing project complexity and collapsing product/service life cycle has made businesses have to adapt to sustain their profitability and competitiveness. Hard Rock Cafe and Bechtel Group are two examples of firms that manage to adapt to these changes using their strength in managing projects. Bechtel uses

with PERT/CPM One of the most challenging jobs that any manager can take on is the management of a large-scale project that requires coordinating numerous activities throughout the organization. A myriad of details must be considered in planning how to coordinate all these activities, in developing a realistic schedule, and then in monitoring the progress of the project. Fortunately, two closely related operations research techniques, PERT (program evaluation and review technique) and CPM (critical

longer than scheduled. It can lead to cost risks, as longer projects always cost more, and to performance risk, if the project is completed too late to perform its intended tasks fully. Apart from the cost estimation and resource allocation used in CPM, most of the techniques used in quantitative cost risk analysis are different from those used in schedule risk analysis. The earliest technique used for schedule risk analysis was the Gantt chart, developed by Henry Gantt in 1917. A Gantt chart gives

1) Please identify the critical path using the activity letter provided and explain the significance of the critical path. The QSB output below shows the critical path. The path is significant because it demonstrates the path that is the most time consuming (longest to finish), as the activities on the critical path have no slack. The completion of each activity in this sequence is critical to the start of the next activity in the sequence. There is likely a “bottle neck” with one or more of these

[14] In the United States, prior to the 1950s, projects were managed on an ad-hoc basis, using mostly Gantt charts and informal techniques and tools. At that time, two mathematical project-scheduling models were developed. The "Critical Path Method" (CPM) was developed as a joint venture between DuPont Corporation and Remington Rand Corporation
