    The document discusses Gantt charts, which are used to plan and schedule projects by showing tasks, durations, dependencies, and critical paths. It provides examples of drawing Gantt charts for small engineering projects, specifying tasks, durations, predecessors, and start and end dates. The final example involves drawing a Gantt chart for a library project to purchase new materials over 12 weeks.

    TUTORIAL # 1
    GANTT BAR CHART

    GE 404 (Engineering Management) December 18, 2023


    GANTT CHART
    2

     Attributed to Henry Gantt

     Graphical way of showing:


    o task durations,
    o project schedule,
    o Predecessor tasks on which the task depends before it
    o Critical activities
     Easy to understand

    Example3: The library at KSU has just received authorization to spend up to SR40,000
    on new journal subscriptions and book purchases. Accordingly, the librarian has
    developed the following small project.

    Task Predecessors Time (weeks)


    A Solicit Input from employee - 4
    B Identify obsolete material in library - 3
    C Clear out space for new purchases B 2
    D Hold sale/discard obsolete material B 3
    Review input from employee given budget
    E A, C 2
    and space requirements
    F Order/receive new material E 5

    a) Draw Gantt bar chart for the library at KSU and use this representation to
    determine the expected number of weeks it will take before the new
    materials are in the library
    b) Draw Gantt bar chart for this project based on the calendar days : (Use
    activity duration in days instead of weeks ) Starts on = start date 16/9/2018.
    Holidays= Friday and Saturday
