    PERT/CPM Principle and Application

    Introduction
    CPM/PERT or Network Analysis as the technique is sometimes called, developed along two
    parallel streams, one industrial and the other military.
     PERT and CPM are basically time-oriented methods in the sense that they both lead to
    determination of a time schedule for the project. These techniques are referred as
    project scheduling techniques.
    PERT (Project (Program) Evaluation and Review Technique) is a
    technique use to plan and control large scale project.
    CPM (Critical Path Method) is a network analysis technique used in
    planning, scheduling, and controlling of complex but routine
    activities.

    Brief History of PERT/CPM


    PERT (Project Evaluation and Review Technique) was devised in 1958 for the POLARIS missile
    program by the Program Evaluation Branch of the Special Projects office of the U.S.Navy,
    helped by the Lockheed Missile Systems division and the Consultant firm of Booz-Allen &
    Hamilton. The calculations were so arranged so that they could be carried out on the IBM Naval
    Ordinance Research Computer (NORC) at Dahlgren, Virginia
    CPM (Critical Path Method) is a project modeling technique discovery of Morgan R.Walker of
    E.I.Du Pont de Nemours & Co. and James E.Kelly of Remington Rand, circa 1957. The
    computation was designed for the UNIVAC-I computer. 4] Kelley attributed the term "critical
    path" to the developers of the PERT, which was developed at about the same time by Booz
    Allen Hamilton and the U.S. Navy. [5] The precursors of what came to be known as Critical Path
    were developed and put into practice by DuPont between 1940 and 1943 and contributed to
    the success of the Manhattan Project.[6] The first test was made in 1958, when CPM was
    applied to the construction of a new chemical plant. In March 1959, the method was applied to
    maintenance shut-down at the Du Pont works in Louisville, Kentucky. Unproductive time was
    reduced from 125 to 93 hours.

    Planning
     The Planning phase is started by splitting the total project into small projecs. These
    smaller projects, in turn, are divided into activities and are analysed by the department
    or a section. The relationship of each activity with respect to other activities are defined
    and established and the corresponding responsibilities and the authority are also stated.
    Thus, the possibility of over- looking any task necessary for the completion of the
    project is reduced substantially.

    Scheduling
     The ultimate objective of the scheduling phase is to prepare a time chart showing the
    start and finish time for each activity as well as its relationship to other activities of the
    project. Moreover, the schedule must pinpoint the critical path activities which require
    special attention if the project is to be completed in time.
     For non- critical activities, the schedule must show the amount of slack or float times
    which can be used advantageously when such activities are delayed or when limited
    resources are to be utilized effectively. In this phase, it is possible to resource
    requirements such as time, manpower, money, machines etc.

    Controlling
     The final phase in project management is controlling. Critical path method facilitates the
    application of the principle of management by exception to identify areas that are
    critical to the completion of the project.
