FORWARD PASS
A FORWARD PASS through the network determines

the EARLIEST TIME each activity can START and
FINISH.
It also determines the TOTAL DURATION of the

Project

FORWARD PASS
General Rule in Calculating Early Start Time (EST) &
Early Finish Time (EFT) (F-S):
Begin from Start Event and move towards the
End Event
The EST for the starting activity = 0
The EST of an activity = latest (or maximum)
EFT of the activities directly preceding it
The EFT of an activity = its Early Start +
Duration required to perform the current
activity

FORWARD PASS WITH LEAD TIME AND LAG TIME
WITH LEAD OR LAG TIMES

If there is a Lead Time (-) between two activities; ES of
the Current Activity = EF of the Preceding Activity + (-
LEAD TIME) and EF will still be equal to ES+ its
Duration
For Lag Time (+); ES of the Current Activity = EF of the

Preceding Activity + (Lag Time)

BACKWARD PASS
A BACKWARD PASS through the network

determines the LATEST TIME each activity can
START and FINISH without delaying completion
of the project.
It also helps determine the activities that can
be DELAYED or not.

BACKWARD PASS
General Rule in Calculating Late Start Time (LST) & Late Finish
Time (LFT) (F-S):
Begin from End Event and move towards the Start
Event. Assume reverse direction of arrows.
The LFT for the final activity = its EFT as determined
by forward pass.
The LFT for an activity = earliest (or minimum) LST of
the activities directly following (succeeding) it
The LST of an activity = its LFT - Duration required to
perform the current activity

of the Current Activity = LS of the Previous Activity -
(-LEAD TIME) and LS will still be equal to LF –
Duration
For Lag Time (+); LF of the Current Activity = LS of the

Previous Activity - (Lag Time)

LIMITATIONS of PERT/CPM
ONLY ALLOW FINISH-TO-START RELATIONSHIP
In PERT/CPM, since it only uses a F-S relationship,

the presentation of activity relationship shows that
succeeding activity CANNOT START until its preceding
ACTIVITY HAS BEEN COMPLETED.

If there are overlapping of activities, sometimes the

approach used is through REPETITION OF ACTIVITIES.

L A G R E L AT I O N S H I P C A N N OT B E S H O W N
Lag is always ZERO
PRESENCE of DUMMY ACTIVITIES.

ADVANTAGES OF PDM
PDM is very USEFUL when representing

REPETITIVE CONSTRUCTION activities, e.g.,
highways construction & multi-storey buildings.

ADVANTAGES OF PDM
The ability to show relationships

other than finish-to-start.

ADVANTAGES OF PDM
The technique is more

VERSATILE as
compared to other network
planning.

ADVANTAGES OF PDM
Availability of lag has

made this
technique more
ADAPTABLE
to the planner’s needs.

ADVANTAGES OF PDM
This tool can guide managers in
MAKING CRITICAL DECISIONS
such as to DEPLOY RESOURCES
based on priority.

ADVANTAGES OF PDM
PDM allows complex CPM schedules to be created
with fewer activities.

ADVANTAGES OF PDM?
Most Software use PDM in generating the
Network Diagram

DISADVANTAGES Of PDM
 Manual Calculation is more complicated

 May produce different dates on different
software
 Updating and Managing change can be
challenging

THINGS TO REMEMBER
In PDM, the RELATIONSHIP between the

current and previous activities CAN BE
BETTER CALCULATED by using TWO OR
MORE of the four possible logical
relationships than by using only one
relationship

THINGS TO REMEMBER
Calculation of the critical path requires

consideration of the logical relationship of
each activity

THINGS TO REMEMBER
Usually activities with a START-TO-START

RELATIONSHIP will also have a FINISH-TO-
FINISH RELATIONSHIP

THINGS TO REMEMBER
In a comprehensive schedule all activities

except the first and last nodes should have at
least ONE PRECEDING ACTIVITY and at
least ONE SUCCEEDING ACTIVITY
