Theory
The Project Network
The tool used for planning, scheduling, and monitoring
project progress.
The network is developed from the information collected for
the WBS and is a graphic flow chart of the project job plan.
Theory
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
A key project deliverable that organizes the team's work into
manageable sections
Project networks are developed from the WBS
Work package from the WBS are used to build the activities
found in the project network
Theory

Gantt Chart
Theory
Gantt Chart
Bar charts are popular because they present an easy-to-understand,
clear picture on a time-scaled horizon.
They are used during planning, resource scheduling, and status
reporting.
The format is a two-dimensional representation of the project
schedule, with activities down the rows and time across the
horizontal axis
Theory
Lags
A lag is the minimum amount of time a dependent activity
must be delayed to
begin or end
The use of lags has been developed to offer greater
flexibility in network construction
Theory
Finish-to-Start Relationship :
The next activity in a sequence must be delayed even when
the preceding activity is complete
Used when ordering materials
Useful to depict transportation, legal, and mail lags
Theory

Start-to-Start
Relationship
An alternative to
segmenting the activities
as we did earlier is to use
a start-to-start
relationship
Theory
Slack (or Float)
The amount of time that an activity can be delayed after
the start of a longer parallel activity or activities.
Total slack
The amount of time an activity can be delayed without
delaying the entire project.
The critical path is the network path(s) that has (have) the
least slack in common.
Case
Winter Olympics in Vancouver and Whistler, BC, Canada in 2010.
Construction of ski lodge and ski complex
The first stage : a day lodge, chair lift, rope tow, generator house (for
electricity), and a parking lot designed to accommodate 400 cars and
30 buses
The second and third stages will include a hotel, ice rink, pool, shops,
two additional chair lifts, and other attractions

Case- General relationship
Road:
1. Main Road
1. Build the Main Entrance Road (6 days)
2.Clearing on the sites can begin concurrently of the day lodge(6
days), generator house(3 days),chair lift (36 days), rope tow(6
days)
clearing of the main ski slopes (84 days)
construction of a permanent road (24 days)
 Case- General relationship
3. Construct foundation

1. BEFORE construct foundation , must ordering material : ( order take 1 day )

Receive Lumber for the day lodge, generator hut, and foundations (9 days)

Receive Materials for the Chair lift (30 days), rope tow (12 days), Receive generator(12 days)

Receive Materials for the Chair lift tower (6 days),, electrical and plumbing materials (12
days)
Case
Day lodge
1. Foundation (12 days)
2.Main framework (18 days)
3.Electrical wiring (24 days) and plumbing (30 days)
4.The finishing construction on the day lodge (36 days)
Case
Chair lift
1. Chair Lift Tower Foundation
2. Chair lift Towers
1. Clear the Chair lift tower (36 days)
2. - Installation of the chair lift towers (67 days) after the site is cleared,
lumber delivered, and the foundation completed.
- While the towers are being installed, the electric motor to drive the chair lift
can be installed (24 days).
3. Install the cable (3 days), install the chairs (12 days) ( after the towers,
motor are installed ).
3. Chair Lift Completed
Case
Rope tow
1. Rope tow Foundation
2. Rope Tow Tower
1. Clear sites for Rope Tow (6 days)
2. -Install the Towers for the Rope tow (20 days) (after the site is cleared the
site is cleared, the foundation is built and poured)
-installation of the electric motor (24 days)
3. the rope tow can be strung in 1 day
3. Rope Tow Completed
4. Clearing the parking lot once the rope tow is finished (18 days)
Case
Generator house
1. Generator house Foundation (6 days) ( begin at the same time as
the foundation for the lodge )
2.Generator House Main Framework (12 days)
3.Diesel Generator (18 days)
4.Generator House completed (12 days)
