Gantt Charts / Bar Charts * The biggest limitation is relationships are missing. * Three major components in Planning and Scheduling * List of Activities * Activity Duration * Activity Relationships Networks in scheduling * Logical * Chronologicall * Graphical representation * Two types of networks * Activity on Arrow * Activity on NodeActivity on arrow networks * Very popular in 60’s and 70’s * This class is the only place you will be using Activity on Arrow networks in this course. * Also called Arrow Diagramming Method (ADM), activity on arrow (AOA) network or the I-J method Basics of AOA networks * Each activity is represented by an arrow —_————= > * Each activity connects two nodes from node to node * Nodes represent events * MilestonesExample #1 ian ipa® A = Ais 10-20 B A Bis 20-30 c A Cis 20-40 D B Dis 30-40 Es c,D Eis 40-50 Immediately preceding activity.

Form the concrete column. . Install the steel reinforcement (commonly known as rebar). wre . Place the concrete. . Wait for the concrete to set (attain sufficient strength). nop . Strip the forms. [oe] 3 Strip Forms 2 Lead is a negative lag Pointers to proper node diagrams * Squares for nodes * Connect only from sides * Left to right in chronological order * Do not combine relationship lines + Line crossings * Start with one node and finish with one node * Redraw your networksScheduling softwares and networks * Try setting this network in software * The network it shows is usually a time scaled bar chart with logical relationships * Not very easy to understand the relationships * Color code sometimes useful
