E.E. Douglas

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Computers and critical path method (CPM) software are the tools employed by project planning and scheduling teams to rapidly develop project schedules. It is the analysis of the CPM schedule and the follow-up actions that result in the successful completion of a project. A short duration field construction project is presented in this article which presented an opportunity for a project control engineer to apply a variety of project controls tools and techniques to the total project management effort. 1 ref., 2 figs., 1 tab.
