Importance and Use of Network Analysis

and Project Scheduling

2
 • Network Analysis is a technique for
planning, scheduling and controlling the
process of projects.
• N.A is tool of project management that aid in
carrying-out task against a time tangent.
Network • This is very useful for projects which are
Analysis complex in nature (i.e. where the activities
are subjected to a considerable degree of
uncertainty in performance time.
• A network is schematic representation of the
entire project, consisting of number of
activities.

 •   Event: An event is a specific
accomplishment that occurs at a recognizable
point of time and does not call for either the
Technical need of time or resources. It is represented by
Terms used node( ).
•   Activities: An activity is the work required
in Network to complete a specific event. An activity
Analysis consumes both time and resources. It is
represented by Arrow( ).

 • Powerful tool of planning, scheduling and
controlling.
Importance • It Minimize idle resources.
and Use of • It Minimize the total project duration.
• To minimize production delays, interruptions
Network and conflicts.
Analysis is •  Provides systematic approach in planning
because of: and scheduling.
•  It is a powerful tool for optimization of
resources by using the concept of slack.

 • Project: “A collection of linked activities,
carried out in an organized manner, with a
Project clearly defined START POINT and END
Scheduling POINT to achieve some specific results
desired to satisfy the needs of the
organization at the current time.”
