Introduction
Project
• A project is an interrelated set of activities that has a
definite starting and ending point and that results in a
unique product or service.
Project management
• Project management is a scientific way of planning,
implementing, monitoring & controlling the various aspects
of a project such as time, money, materials, manpower &
other resources.
3
Network Analysis
Network analysis is one of the important tools for project
management.
4
Objectives of network analysis
Helpful in planning
Inter-relationship of various activities
Cost control
Minimisation of maintenance time
Reduction of time
Control on idle resources
Avoiding delays, interruptions
5
Applications of network analysis
Planning, scheduling, monitoring and control of
large and complex projects.
Construction of factories, highways, building,
bridges, cinemas etc.
Helpful to army for its missile development.
Assembly line scheduling
Installation of computers and high tech
machineries
To make marketing strategies

Methodology Involved in Network
Analysis
Describing the Project
Deterministic
estimates
Probabilistic
estimates

Classification of activities
Predecessor activity: Activities that must be completed
immediately prior to the start of another activity are called
predecessor activities.
9
Event
The beginning & end of an activities are called as events .
Events are represented by numbered circles called nodes.

Types of Events
Merge event

Path & Network
An unbroken chain of activity arrows connecting the initial event to
some other event is called a path.

Stages for project management
Project planning stages : in order to
visualize the sequencing or precedence
requirements of the activities in a project,
it is helpful to draw a network diagram.
17
PERT & CPM
PERT CPM
A probability model with A deterministic model with well
uncertainty in activity known activity times based upon the
duration . The duration of past experience.
each activity is computed
from multiple time estimates
with a view to take into
account time uncertainty.
20
Critical path
The critical path is the longest path in the network from the starting
event to ending event & defines the minimum time required to
complete the project.
21
We will see below how the network analysis diagram/picture we
construct helps us to answer this question.

CRITICAL PATH TAKES 24 DAYS FOR THE
COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT

PERT
PERT is designed for scheduling complex projects that
involve many inter-related tasks. it improves
planning process because:
26
EXPECTED TIME
The times are combined statically to develop the
expected time te .
te = to + 4tm + tp

29
Limitations of PERT /CPM
Network diagrams should have clear starting & ending points ,
which are independent of each other which may not be possible in
real life.
30
Conclusion
With the help of network diagram and by
using PERT & CPM techniques we can
optimise cost and time of a project as well
as we can efficiently use the available
resources.
