The program evaluation and review technique (PERT) is a statistical tool used in project management, which was designed to analyze and represent the tasks involved in completing a given project. PERT was originally developed by Charles E. Clark for the United States Navy in 1958; it is commonly used in conjunction with the Critical Path Method ...
These results, including the drag computations, allow managers to prioritize activities for the effective management of project, and to shorten the planned critical path of a project by pruning critical path activities, by "fast tracking" (i.e., performing more activities in parallel), and/or by "crashing the critical path" (i.e., shortening ...
HERMES 5 is a project management method which has been reduced to the essential elements and can be adapted to individual projects and organisations. [ 2 ] It provides full support with scenarios for concrete project processes, a web tool for methodical support, checklists and templates for efficient project management.
The precedence diagram method (PDM) is a tool for scheduling activities in a project plan. It is a method of constructing a project schedule network diagram that uses boxes, referred to as nodes, to represent activities and connects them with arrows that show the dependencies. It is also called the activity-on-node (AON) method.
Project production management: the application of the analytical tools and techniques developed for operations management, as described in Factory Physics to the activities within major capital projects such as encountered in oil and gas and civil infrastructure delivery.
Project production management (PPM) [1] [2] is the application of operations management [2] [3] to the delivery of capital projects. The PPM framework is based on a project as a production system view, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] in which a project transforms inputs (raw materials, information, labor, plant & machinery) into outputs (goods and services).
Project management is the process of supervising the work of a team to achieve all project goals within the given constraints. [1] This information is usually described in project documentation, created at the beginning of the development process.
