PROGRAMME EVALUATION REVIEW TECHNIQUE(PERT). The activities are tasks require to complete the project. The events marking the beginning & end of one or more activities. It is helpful to list the tasks in a table that in later steps can be expanded to include on sequence is duration.
2. INTRODUCTION
• PERT was developed in the late 1950 by the US Navy submarine missile
programme and was applied in 1958.
• PERT shows the time taken by each component of project & the total time
required for its completion.
• PERT breaks down the project into events, activity& lays down their proper
sequence relationship & duration in the form of network.
• PERT is a technique of representing project plan in network.
• This is represented in a graphic form known as network diagram.
3. DEFINITION
The programme or project evaluation and review technique commonly
abbreviated as PERT, is a statistical tool, used in project management,
which was designed to analyse and represent the tasks involved in
completing a given project & to illustrate the flow of events in a project.
4. TYPES
• There are two types of network diagram,
Activity On Arrow(AOA):
In the first variant the duration is denoted on arrow
connecting diagram nodes, such diagram type called AOA.
Activity On Node (AON):
In such diagram the information about the task
duration is denoted in the diagram node & each task is
represented in the form of rectangle with definite set of fields.
5. NEED OF PERT
Prediction of deliverables
Planning resource requirement
Controlling resource allocation
Internal programme review
Performance evaluation
Uniform wide acceptance
Reduction in cost
Saving time
Determination of activities
Elimination of risk in complex
activities
Flexibility
Evaluation of alternatives
Useful effective control
Useful decision making
Useful research work
7. 1. Identity Activities & Events:
• The activities are tasks require to complete the project.
• The events marking the beginning & end of one or more
activities.
• It is helpful to list the tasks in a table that in later steps can be
expanded to include on sequence is duration.
