    Project Planning: Network Analysis

    Uploaded by

    Simmi Khurana
    This document discusses network analysis techniques for project planning. It introduces Critical Path Method (CPM) and Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT), which were developed independently but use similar techniques. CPM was developed by DuPont, while PERT was used for the Polaris submarine system by the US Department of Defense. The document provides examples of how to construct a network diagram for activities and calculate earliest and latest start/finish times, and includes a sample PERT network.

    Network Analysis (CPM/PERT)


    Network Analysis plays an important role
    in project management. By analyzing a
    network, which is a graphic depiction of
    activities and event, the planning,
    scheduling and control of a project
    become much easier.
    Program Evaluation & Review Technique
    Critical Path Method

    Network Analysis (CPM/PERT)


    Both the techniques use similar
    technique, but they were developed
    independently of each other.
    PERT>> Polaris Submarine System
    Dept of Defense (USA)
    CPM>> Du Pont

    Rules for constructing network


    Each activity is represented by only one
    arrow.
    The arrow indicate logical precedence
    The direction of arrow is important
    An activity can start only after previous
    activity finishes
    Looping is not permitted
    Network should be neat & Clear however,
    a network may take any shape.
