History of CPM
Critical Path Method (CPM)
– E I Du Pont de Nemours & Co. (1957) for constructio
n of new chemical plant and maintenance shut-down
– Deterministic task times
– Activity-on-node network construction
– Repetitive nature of jobs
CPM calculation
Path
– A connected sequence of activities leading from th
e starting event to the ending event
Critical Path
– The longest path (time); determines the project dur
ation
Critical Activities
– All of the activities that make up the critical path
Procedure of PERT/CPM
Develop a list of activities that make up project
.
Estimate the completion time for each activity.
Draw a project network and t
