GANTT charts are a type of bar chart used to illustrate project schedules. They show the start and end dates of tasks, their duration, and dependencies between tasks. To construct a GANTT chart, critical tasks are scheduled first followed by non-critical tasks within their time windows. Staff and resources are then allocated to tasks based on availability. The chart can be re-scheduled if needed due to changes in staffing or equipment availability. Project management software helps automate GANTT chart creation and resource smoothing but decisions still require human judgment.
The document discusses critical path method (CPM) network computation and provides examples of activity-on-arrow and activity-on-node network diagrams. It also explains the different relationship types used to define dependencies between activities, including finish-to-start, start-to-start, finish-to-finish, start-to-finish, and start-to-start/finish-to-finish relationships. Lead and lag times are discussed as constraints that can be applied to relationships.
The document discusses critical path method (CPM) and program evaluation and review technique (PERT) for planning and scheduling large projects. It explains that a project consists of various activities connected logically in a network. CPM and PERT help estimate project completion time, control resources, and reduce completion time. The key differences between CPM and PERT are that PERT uses probabilistic activity times and three estimates while CPM uses fixed times and is activity-oriented rather than event-oriented. The document also outlines the steps for writing a project network.
The Critical Path Method (CPM) is a technique for scheduling a set of project activities. It identifies the longest continuous chain of activities from start to finish required to complete the project on time. This longest chain is called the critical path. CPM calculates the earliest and latest times each activity can start and finish without making the project longer. Activities on the critical path have no scheduling flexibility, while other activities have "float" or slack time that can be used for scheduling flexibility. CPM is useful for determining the minimum project duration and identifying which activities must be carefully managed and monitored to avoid project delays.
Project planning is an important part of any project that involves setting objectives, identifying deliverables, scheduling tasks, and planning resources. It lays out the scope, objectives, goals, schedule, and defines roles for stakeholders. The key components of a project plan are the scope, budget, and timeline. Project planning follows 10 steps including defining stakeholders and their roles, setting goals, prioritizing and scheduling tasks, assessing risks, and communicating the plan. Commonly used tools for project planning are Gantt charts, problem tree analysis, SWOT analysis, logical framework analysis, and project management software.
The document discusses the Critical Path Method (CPM) for project planning and scheduling. CPM involves identifying all project activities, determining their duration and sequence, and identifying the critical path which determines the shortest project duration. It describes drawing network diagrams to show activity dependencies and establishing time and cost estimates for each activity under normal and crash schedules. CPM helps optimize resource allocation and monitoring to ensure the project stays on schedule.
The document discusses baseline scheduling basics and the critical path method (CPM) of scheduling. It covers why schedules are important, different types of schedules and scheduling methodologies.

Current liabilities management involves spontaneous sources of financing like trade credit and accrued expenses. Trade credit is automatically obtained when purchasing goods on credit from suppliers and is more readily available than other short-term credit. Stretching payments beyond the credit period can eventually damage supplier relationships. Accrued expenses represent liabilities for services provided but not yet paid, like accrued wages and taxes. Deferred income involves advance payments or deposits from customers for future deliveries.
This document discusses managing current liabilities to fund working capital. It explains that short-term assets like working capital should be funded by current liabilities like trade creditors and bank overdrafts. Trade creditors are preferable to fund working capital before relying on expensive bank overdrafts. The business can negotiate longer payment terms with suppliers to increase trade creditor funding. However, suppliers may increase prices or refuse further supply if payment terms are extended without approval.
This document discusses sources of current liabilities for businesses, including accounts payable and accruals which arise from normal business operations. It also discusses strategies for managing accounts payable, such as taking advantage of cash discounts and stretching payment terms.

It provides examples to illustrate work breakdown structures, critical path diagrams, expected time calculations, and probability calculations for project duration. The document outlines assumptions and limitations of critical path methodology for project scheduling.
The document discusses project scheduling techniques like the Critical Path Method (CPM) and Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT). It explains how a network diagram shows the logical dependencies and sequence of tasks in a project. Calculating earliest and latest start/finish times helps identify the critical path and float for activities. PERT is useful for projects with uncertain durations, using 3 time estimates. The critical path determines the minimum project duration, and monitoring it helps complete the project on schedule.
Project management involves three key phases: planning, scheduling, and controlling. Planning involves setting objectives, identifying activities, and estimating resources and costs. Scheduling determines the start and finish times of activities using techniques like CPM and PERT to identify the critical path. Controlling monitors progress against the plan and allows for revisions if needed. Effective project management requires thorough planning, scheduling of activities and resources, and ongoing controlling to ensure projects are completed on time and on budget.

The document provides examples of constructing critical path networks and calculating key timing metrics to schedule and control a project.
PERT (Program (or Project) Evaluation and Review Technique) is a model for project management designed to analyze and represent the tasks involved in completing a given project. It was developed in the 1950s to schedule large, complex US government projects. PERT uses network diagrams and calculations to determine the critical path of tasks, expected task durations, and slack time to optimize schedules and identify risks. Key aspects of PERT include defining tasks as events with durations, determining early and late start/finish times, identifying the critical path, and calculating float to determine which tasks have scheduling flexibility.
The document discusses project evaluation and review technique (PERT). It begins by explaining that PERT was developed in the 1950s for the Polaris submarine missile program to reduce time and costs of projects. PERT breaks projects down into activities, events, and relationships between them in a network diagram. It estimates optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic durations for activities to account for uncertainty. The critical path showing the longest sequence of activities determining the project duration is identified. PERT is useful for planning resources, reviewing progress, and evaluating performance. Limitations include not directly considering costs and variable activity times.
The Gantt chart is a bar chart that illustrates the timing of project activities and their relationships. It displays activities on one chart against time to provide a simple representation of project scheduling. Gantt charts are useful for planning and overview but have limitations like difficulty updating and lack of cost/resource data. Alternatives for project planning include PERT, WBS, critical path and resource leveling.
The document discusses critical path calculations and Gantt charts for project scheduling. It defines key terms like critical path, critical activities, and float. It describes the two phases of critical path calculations - the forward pass and backward pass. The forward pass calculates earliest occurrence times while the backward pass calculates latest occurrence times. It provides an example problem calculating the minimum time and identifying critical path activities. Finally, it outlines the benefits of Gantt charts for illustrating time-based activities on a horizontal timescale and monitoring project progress.
This document provides an overview of project management techniques including PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) and CPM (Critical Path Method). It defines key project management terms and explains the steps to create a PERT chart including identifying activities, sequencing activities, estimating activity times, determining critical paths, and updating the chart over time. The document also discusses calculating early start/finish and late start/finish times using forward and backward passes. Overall, it serves as a comprehensive introduction to project scheduling tools PERT and CPM.
This document discusses scheduling techniques for projects including network diagrams, PERT charts, and critical path analysis. It provides examples of how to construct network diagrams showing the logical dependencies and precedence relationships between tasks. It also demonstrates how to determine the critical path of a project by calculating the earliest and latest start/finish times for each task and identifying which tasks have zero slack and must be completed on schedule for the project to finish on time. Key terms discussed include activities, events, slack, critical path, and the importance of focusing resources on critical path tasks.
This document discusses scheduling techniques for projects including PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) and CPM (Critical Path Method). It provides examples of how to create network diagrams for projects showing the logical dependencies and precedence relationships between tasks. The network diagrams are then used to calculate the earliest and latest start and finish times for each task, identify the critical path, and determine the float or slack time for non-critical tasks. The critical path identifies the minimum time needed to complete the project and any delays to critical path tasks will delay the overall project completion.

Gas agency management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The project entitled "Gas Agency" is done to make the manual process easier by making it a computerized system for billing and maintaining stock. The Gas Agencies get the order request through phone calls or by personal from their customers and deliver the gas cylinders to their address based on their demand and previous delivery date. This process is made computerized and the customer's name, address and stock details are stored in a database. Based on this the billing for a customer is made simple and easier, since a customer order for gas can be accepted only after completing a certain period from the previous delivery. This can be calculated and billed easily through this. There are two types of delivery like domestic purpose use delivery and commercial purpose use delivery. The bill rate and capacity differs for both. This can be easily maintained and charged accordingly.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELijaia
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

PERT Diagram & Gantt Chart
PERT- Program Evaluation and Review Technique.
PERT has been in usage since the 1950s and PERT
diagrams are popular project management tools
and it also most popular in the fields of business
management and quality control. PERT was -
developed primarily to simplify the planning and
scheduling of large and complex projects. It was
developed for the U.S. Navy Special Projects
Office in 1957 to support the U.S. Navy's Polaris
nuclear submarine project.
Basically;
PERT diagrams show precedence, activities
that mustbe completed before the next activities
may be started.
Used to calculate the critical path or the longest
path through the activities.
This is the shortest time to complete the project.
2. PERT Diagram Example:
Start
End
Activity Time(day) Require Predecessor
A 4 None
B 3 None
C 2 A
D 1 A
E 1 B
F 2 B
G 3 C
H 2 D, E
I 2 F
J 2 G
We have four (4) way to find critical path.
1. A+C+G+J = 11
2. A+D+H = 7
3. B+E+H = 6
4. B+F+I = 7
So critical path is, A+C+G+J = 11
And time of complete the project is 11 days.
Free slack is = Value of start point of critical path –
value of start point of others non critical path.
