Network Planning Diagram

1. There are two conventions for network diagrams: activity on arrow (AOA) which uses arrows to designate activities, and activity on node (AON) which uses nodes to designate activities. 2. For a network diagram, every element must have meaning - activities represent work and are dependent on preceding activities being completed, and events mark the start and end of activities. 3. The network diagram shows dependency relationships between activities but not time relationships - it does not specify when activities will occur.

THE NETWORK
FUNDAMANTALS,
PLANNIG AND
SCHEDULING
THE NETWORK FUNDAMENTALS

 There are 2 slightly different conventions for


making a network diagram. They are:
1. Activity on Arrow (AOA)- that is using arrows to
designate activities.
2. Activity on Node (AON)- using nodes to
designate activities.

ELEMENTS OF NETWORK DIAGRAMMING
A B
• Work B cannot start until after work A is completed

A
C
• C cannot start until both A and B are completed.

A B
• A must be completed before either B or C can start

• Both A and C must be completed before
either B or D can start.

• Both A and B must be completed before C can start.
D depends only an B and A. X is called a dummy.

Principle in
Networking or Arrow
Diagram
Principle No. 1
That everything in the network or arrow diagram must have meaning.

a) Every arrow represents and item of work and is


called Activity.

Excavation

b) An event is the starting point of an activity


represented by a circle, square or any geometrical
form.
Excavation
c) An Activity is dependent upon and cannot begin
until after the completion of all preceding
Activities.

d) All activities that start with the same event cannot


begin until the completion of all activities that
enter that event.

Making Forms

Figure 5-5
In figure 5-5, pouring of footing slab and pedestal,
depends upon the completion of the two activities that
enter into their common starting point. Hence, it is
impossible to pour concrete on footing slab or pedestal
until after making both forms and delivery of cement
have been completed.

Figure 5-6
Principle No. 2
That an Activity has a single definite starting point and a single definite ending point.

 What Activities must be completed before this one can start?


 What activities cannot be started if this one is not completed?

 That the network (arrow diagram) is hardly ever


down by a single person.
FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS

 Activity-Actual work between events


 Events- 1 1

 Dummy Activity
 Duration of an Activity- time it takes an activity to be
finished.
 Path- 1-2-4-6 or 1-3-5-6

WHAT IS PLANNING & SCHEDULING

 Following Considerations
 The Logic of its sequence must be reviewed for correctness.

 A further review should be entertained to ascertain that all


phases of works should appear.
 That the scope of work is correctly interpreted.
PLANNING OBJECTIVES

 To represent graphically the specific job and the


proper sequence of the job.
 To establish a medium for estimating the time,
Manpower or other resources necessary for each job.
 To have available sequential arrangement of the jobs,
an accurate estimate of resources and the alternative
plans based on the scope of work.
