This document discusses production control techniques including network analysis and PERT/CPM. It defines network analysis as a pictorial representation of activities and their relationships that helps with planning, scheduling, and controlling projects. PERT is described as a technique used for planning, scheduling, organizing, coordinating, and controlling uncertain activities, especially for research and development projects. CPM is a statistical technique used for construction project management that helps control costs and time. A critical path is identified as the longest sequence of critical activities in a network from start to finish. Network techniques help translate complex projects into simple activities and allow for detailed future analysis and division of responsibilities.

2. Production Control
• Production control is the updating and revising procedure
where, according to the requirements of implementation, the
labour assignments, the machine assignments, the job
priorities, the line speeds, the production routes, etc.
Control Techniques : Gantt charts, line of balance, Network
analysis PERT/CPM etc.

3. Network Analysis
• Network techniques are the pictorial representation of the
activities and their interrelationship to help in the following
aspects.
> Planning
> Scheduling
> Controlling

4. PERT & CPM
• In both the techniques critical path is identified based on the
network of activities and their scheduling .
• Pert was given by US Navy and CPM by Du-pond
company.
• CPM : CPM is a statistical technique of project
management in which planning, scheduling, organising,
coordination and control of well-defined activities take
place.
>Helps to control of costs & time.
> used for construction projects.

5. PERT:
PERT is a project management technique, whereby
planning, scheduling, organising, coordinating and
controlling uncertain activities are done.
 It identify least time for completition of task.
 It a tool for planning& control of time.
Helps in identifying the critical areas in a project.
Used for research and development of projects.

6. • Critical Path: Critical Path is the sequence of critical activities
and is the longest path which begins from starting events to
ending event.

7. Significance
• Helps to translate highly complex projects into a set of
simple and logical activities
• Detailed analysis of network helps a project incharge to go
deep into the future.
• It helps in the division of responsibilities in an
organization.
• its helps in timely allocation of resources to various
activities.
• Planning, scheduling and controlling.
