Definition of Terms
Schedule
A plan of procedure for a proposed objective, characterized
by sequence and duration of activities
Sequence
It is the order of preference or occurrence of work activities
for a proposed objective
Construction Schedule
The arrangement of construction work activities in sequence
required by construction logic
Definition of Terms
Construction Logic
It is an acceptable line of reasoning in construction purview
Milestone
It is an important point in a project schedule that project
managers use as a checkpoint. It may include completion of a
major deliverable, critical activity or a merging point in
construction schedule
Definition of Terms
Activity network diagram
This shows work activities in accomplishing a project or a project component. Likewise,
this shows the critical path which is the basis of contract time/duration estimate, a
useful guide/tool in the project site as it shows job sequence, significant events, and
predictions.
Bar Chart
It is a simple visual diagram that aids in sequencing activities by representing each
activity in the form of horizontal bars which are laid out in a time-scaled chart. This
illustrates scheduled completion of a project, e.g., bars drawn horizontally and parallel
to the timeline representing project activities, the completed portions are usually
shaded/darkened, to depict item completion
S-Curve
The S-curve, means schedule curve, is a graphical representation of the cumulative
accomplishments of all activities within a project displayed over time. This is usually
superimposed on the Bar Chart.
Definition of Terms
Cash flow
The cash flow displays the physical and financial scheduled accomplishments of the
project. It is a series of scheduled payments that is required in order to perform the
project in accordance with the schedule of activities.
▪ Ensuring that the cash outflow conforms with the activity requirements.
▪ Ensuring thru timely schedule revision for a renewed projected completion date that
must be within a reasonable period, prior to contract expiration date (due to contract
claims, e.g., change order, work suspensions, time extensions, etc.)
(2) check contractor’s adherence to the latest schedule-of-record. (for Project Engineers, Project
Inspectors, Resident Engineers, etc.)
Define 3. Familiarize with the project’s locality as to entry points of materials, quarry sites,
Activities road network, celebrated tradition, climatic norms, constraints, etc.
Sequence 4. Study and evaluate the organization’s cash position and other resources
Activities (personnel asset, equipment, credit lines, etc.).

Work Breakdown WBS is an iterative tool that project managers use to progressively dissect a project
Structure into smaller and more manageable parts.
In DPWH practice, the pay item list enumerated in the contract of a project may be
Define considered as the WBS. However, in larger and more complex projects, items of work
Activities may be grouped into components (sub-projects, station limits, floor levels, etc.) where
each component can be independently managed.

Work Breakdown While the WBS is considered the foundation of constructions schedules, activities are
Structure considered as its building blocks.
An activity is a distinct, scheduled portion of work performed during the project. Since
Define activities are representative of the work to be performed, they should be in a verb-noun
Activities format.
Work Breakdown Activities must be arranged in a manner where construction logic is satisfied. In
Structure sequencing of activities, construction methodologies and standard specifications
adopted by this Department shall be the basis in determining the logical order in which
activities can be accomplished.

Work Breakdown Duration is the total number of work periods required to complete a scheduled
Structure activity, usually expressed in Calendar Days.

Define to accomplish a particular activity.
Activities
In construction, assigning resources usually comes hand in hand with estimating
Sequence activity durations since productivity is resource based. The basis for productivity
Activities output is the assigned resources utilized to perform a specific activity, including other
considerations that affects the productivity output e.g., climatic norm predictions,
celebrated traditions, etc.

Discussion Question no. 5
Bar Chart w/ The Cash Flow is derived from the Bar Chart where weighted physical accomplishments of
S-Curve individual activities are tallied per time period, usually in months. These physical
accomplishments shall also be representative of the financial accomplishment by
converting the said percent accomplishment with respect to the total project cost.
Cash Flow More importantly, inflow and outflow in the Cash Flow must be optimized as in some cases, the
Cash Flow may dictate the sequencing of activities whether the contractor has the capacity to
perform such amount of accomplishment over that period.

Resources dictate how much time a specific activity can be performed. This concept is very much evident in
construction projects where physical accomplishments depend primarily on the manpower and equipment
capacities designated to perform a particular activity.
Resource Charts are made together with all other construction scheduling tools in order to properly address
resource over or under allocations.
Over-allocation Under-allocation
Resource over-allocation is the incorporation of too Resource under-allocation is the lack or insufficiency
much resource, whether manpower or equipment, in a of such resources assigned to perform an activity.

which lowers the efficiency of that resource. construction projects since resources are assigned to
perform tasks over time that is beyond its capacities.
Discussion Question no. 7
Essentially, revision can be ordered in times of significant variance or slippage to be able to produce a crash
schedule and identify which activities must be prioritized and which resources must be reinforced so that
the schedule might recover, or whether it is still realistic to expect project completion at the set date.

ANALYZING THE PDM NETWORK DIAGRAM
PRECEDENCE DIAGRAM METHOD (PDM)
Analyzing the PDM Network Diagram
PDM Network Diagram
Many software applications nowadays transitioned to PDM in presenting the activity network diagrams due to its
advantages in simplicity in showing various dependencies that most projects require.
Lead (-) – the amount of time whereby a Lag (+) – the amount of time whereby a
successor activity can be advanced successor activity is required to be
with respect to a predecessor activity delayed with respect to a predecessor
activity.
Analyzing the PDM Network Diagram
Developing the activity network diagrams would basically be to identify the critical
path of the project. In order to do so, the scheduler shall perform the “Two Pass
Method.”
A CPM technique for calculating the early A CPM technique for calculating the late
start and early finish dates by working start and late finish dates by working
forward through the schedule model from backward through the schedule model from
the project start. the project end date.

THINGS TO REMEMBER
THINGS TO REMEMBER
Calculation of the critical path requires consideration of the logical relationship of each activity.
▪ The critical path in PDM is continuous from the beginning to the end of the diagram. Just like in
PERT/CPM, the total float of an activity must be equal to zero to be considered critical. Usually
activities using F-S relationship without lag are critical.
Float (FL) = LS – ES or LF – EF
▪ In PDM, a scheduler should observe completeness and show all logical relationships among activities,
avoiding any unnecessary or redundant relationships. Too many arrows will complicate calculation of
task dates during the forward and backward passes. However, while avoiding redundancies, one must
be careful not to oversimplify the schedule
Analyzing the PDM Network Diagram
THINGS TO REMEMBER
In a comprehensive schedule, all activities, except the first and last nodes, should have at least one
preceding activity and at least one succeeding activity.
▪ Dangling activity refers to an activity that is open-ended where there are no activities connected either
on the left or right side. This activity also has no activity relationship originating either left or right side
and should be avoided as this is considered as poor scheduling practice.
▪ In a PDM diagram, more dangling activities may prevent a realistic critical path preventing the schedule
from accurately measuring the delays and any changes in the time frame

▪ Checks the completeness of documents based on checklist as per D.O. no. 11, s. 2021 (or as
amended).
▪ Checks for appropriateness, correctness, and compliance with the existing rules and latest
Department Issuances.
▪ If found not in order, prepares a return letter to the Contractor/Consultant to comply certain
requirements.
▪ If found in order, proceeds with the evaluation and prepares Executive Summary to recommend
approval in accordance with the delegated authority based on existing Department Issuances (D.O.

Most Common Findings/Observations
1. Construction Schedules (PERT/CPM and PDM Network, Bar Chart w/ S-Curve, Manpower Deployment
and Equipment Utilization Schedules) components do not conform with one another, e.g.,
▪ Bars of the Bar Chart do not agree with the corresponding activity lines in the Network Diagram
(PERT/CPM, PDM)
▪ Manpower complement, and equipment support do not conform with the activities in the Network
Diagram.
▪ Erroneous logic and sequence
▪ Inappropriate scale
▪ Wrong algorithm, wrong entry of new data, wrong pay item description, wrong format.
2. Revised Schedules include revision of the past periods or portions that were already accomplished
and reported
3. Procedural errors, e.g., inclusion of unsupported claims (i.e., unapproved variation orders, time
extensions, etc.)
