QUALITY
Prepare WBS using project documents Solve the network Field input
- Break the activities to desired lvl of monitoring - Total project duration, floats. - Measure actual work done, etc.,
Calculate and assign basic resources Time-Cost adjustment Schedule updation & Cost accounting
- Men, Material, Equipment - Crashing for least cost, optimum time
- Re-do network solving, time cost adjustment &
resource levelling
Prepare a network Resource levelling Documentation (Reports)
- Duration, dependency relationship - Shifting of activities - Document for future use (claims, knowledge)
Schedule plan (i.e., Rev. network)
- Shifting of activities (schedule)
PLAN SCHEDULE MONITOR
PROJECT EXECUTION
- Break the activities to desired lvl of monitoring
Example :
WBS Code Task description
A Construction of..
A.1 Substructure works
A.1.1 Excavation works

A.2 Superstructure works
A.2.1 Columns

Back to Abstract
WBS - WORK BREAK DOWN STRUCTURE
- Use bill of quantities/ (Arrive in case of non availability)
- Use base plan (produced / committed during award of contract) to calculate the duration of individual activities
- Use productivity calculations/ for men and equipment
- Calculate the basic resources required like men, materials & equipment
Example :
WBS Task Description Qty Unit Duration
Code
Skilled Unskilled Cement Bricks . Excavator .
A Construction of..
A.1 Substructure works
A.1.1 Excavation works 500 Cum 10 dys

A.2 Superstructure works
A.2.1 Columns 50 Cum 8 dys

BASIC RESOURCES
Men Materials Equipment
Resources
- Calculate the Inter-dependency relationships of the activities
- Prepare a network plan (in Microsoft project)
- Assign the resources calculated in the previous section
Example :
WBS Task Description Qty Unit Duration Start Finish Predecessor Resources
Code
A Construction of..
A.1 Substructure works
A.1.1 Excavation works 500 Cum 10 dys 24/2/2009 8/3/2009

A.2 Superstructure works
A.2.1 Columns 50 Cum 8 dys 15/4/2009 25/4/2009

PROJECT NETWORK
- Calculate the Critical path of network
- Calculate the ES, EF, LS, LF and Floats of the activities respectively
Example :
WBS Task Description Qty Unit Duration
ES EF LS LF TF FF Int.F Ind.F
Code
A Construction of..
A.1 Substructure works
A.1.1 Excavation works 500 Cum 10 dys

A.2 Superstructure works
A.2.1 Columns 50 Cum 8 dys

NOTE: Back to Abstract
ES = Early Start (How early an activity can be started)
EF = Early Finish (How early an activity can be finished)
LS = Late Start (How latest an activity can be started)
LF = Late Finish (How latest an activity can be finished)
TF = Total Float (How much float is available for a path so not to delay the project end date)
FF = Free Float (Available float for an activity so not to delay the project end date & ES of succedding activity)
Int.F = Interferring Float (Difference b/w TF and FF)
Ind.F = Independent Float (Available float of an activity, so not to delay project end, ES of succeeding activity and
preceeding activity's LF had not delayed)
SOLVING THE PROJECT NETWORK
Floats Start Finish
- Calculate the Normal duration & Crash duration of all the activities (use proper logic and physical constraints)
- Calculate the Normal cost & Crash cost of all the activities
- Calculate the Slope of all the activities (ie., C / D = cost per day)
- Follow proper sequence & crashing rules and crash the project activities, plot the least cost curve
Example :
WBS Task Description Qty Unit Duration Slope
Normal Crash Normal Crash C/D D1 C1 Dur. Cost D
L
Code
A Construction of..
A.1 Substructure works
A.1.1 Excavation works 500 Cum 10 dys

A.2 Superstructure works
A.2.1 Columns 50 Cum 8 dys

NOTE: Back to Abstract
C = Diff b/w crash cost (CC) and normal cost (NC)
D = Diff b/w normal duration (ND) and crash duration (CD)
D1 = "Reduced by" duration of the concerned activity
C1 = "Increase in cost" of the concerned activity due to crashing
D
L
= "Balance" duration available for an activity to crash
CRASHING THE PROJECT
Duration Cost Revised
- Calculate the Critical path(s), Floats, Resources of network acticities (Res. of critical activities should not be disturbed)
- Carryout the res. levelling technique with proper sequence (usually from the end)
- Calculate the Revised schedule of all the activities
Example :
WBS Task Description Qty Unit Duration Resources
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Code
A Construction of..
A.1 Substructure works
A.1.1 Excavation works 500 Cum 10 dys
