 Planning Schedule Programming

Planning – is the function of coordinating in a

logical order all the activities, persons,
machines, and materials necessary to complete
the project.

Scheduling – is the placing of the plan on a

calendar timetable and showing the allocation of
the equipment and manpower that will put the
plan into effect.

Methods of Planning:
1. Bar Chart Method
2. Critical Path Method
 Planning Schedule Programming

1. Bar Chart Method

Traditional Bar Chart – shows both functions

simultaneously with the result that the answer is
too often incomplete. They show a schedule for a
plan that has been accepted without first
establishing that the plan is the most economical
plan.

2. Critical Path Method CPM – is a technique that

separates planning & scheduling. It also clarifies
the inter-relationship between time and cost.

CPM – began with a study initiated by E.I duPont

Nemours in 1956 in conjunction with the Ubivac
applications Research Center of Remington
Rand.

PERT – Program Evaluation and Review

Technique, had its inception in the Navy for its
ballistic Missile Program dated 1958.

6- Event Number, 25 Activity Duration (Dummy activity – finish and

clean-up cannot start until the wall have been insulated)

Crirical Path Activities shown will take 51 days to

complete the building

INPUTS PRODUCED IN CPM

A. A network ( Arrow Diagram)

B. Duration (Estimates of Activities)
C. Cost (Estimates of activities)
D. Resource Estimates –
E. Trade (responsibility)
 Planning Schedule Programming

The Network – (or arrow diagram) is usually

arrived at by all persons who have anything to
do with the project.

1. Event – is a point in time signaling the beginning or

end of one or more activities. It is the point which
denotes the completion of all preceding activities and
the beginning for all succeding depending activities

2. Dummy Activity “ Not more than one activity have the

same number” – the use of activity bthat doesn’t really
represent work (no duration and no cost)
