    Chapter 2 Part 2 PERT Critical Path Method

    Uploaded by

    Zaki Wasit
    PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) is a network analysis technique used to estimate project schedules when there is uncertainty in activity durations. It involves 1) tabulating tasks with estimated optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic durations, 2) identifying task prerequisites, 3) laying out a flowchart of tasks, 4) calculating earliest and latest completion times, 5) determining slack times, and 6) identifying the critical path with zero slack as the longest duration determining project completion. An example PERT chart is provided to demonstrate the technique.

    PERT

    Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)


    Activity times are probabilistic
    Network analysis technique to estimate
    project when there is uncertainty in activity
    duration
    How to schedule project using PERT
    1. Tabulate Project Tasks
    1. Title and ID Number for Each Task
    2. Estimate Duration for Each Task
    te = (a + 4m + b)/6
    • a = Optimistic
    • m = Most Likely
    • b = Pessimistic
    3. Estimate Resource Requirements for Each Task
    (May Need Dummy Tasks for Critical Resources)
    How to schedule project using PERT
    2. Identify Prerequisite Tasks for Each Task
    3. Layout Flowchart of Tasks Based on
    Dependencies NOT Time
    4. Indicate Performance Milestones on
    Flowchart
    How to schedule project using PERT
    5. Calculate Earliest Completion Time (ECT) and Latest
    Completion Time (LCT)
    – Beginning at start of project, ECT for task = ECT for
    preceding node + duration
    – Beginning at end of project, LCT for task = LCT for
    following node - duration
    6. Calculate Slack Time for Each Task
    – Slack for Task= ECT - LCT
    7. Determine Critical Path
    – Longest Time Path
    – Zero Slack
