Inhaltsangabe

The object of this book is to develop the subject of project planning and control with examples of real situations showing the short cuts and pitfalls. Critical path methods were first developed in 1958 almost simultaneously by the CEGB in England and the US Navy and Du Ponts in the United States of America. Since then, critical path methods under the name of CPM, CPA and PERT have been further developed and used successfully as planning aids in a large number of construction and manufacturing organizations for diverse purposes, all over the world. As a management tool, especially in project management of large capital construction projects, network techniques are unsurpassed, provided - and this is a very important proviso - the activities have been arranged in a logical, practical and easily identifiable manner by people who know the disciplines and problems involved.
