#Project Scheduling - Network Diagrams : PERT & CPM# By SN Panigrahi
A PROJECT is Combination of interrelated activities Executed in logical sequence for Accomplishment of a desired objective
As per PMBOK of PMI “Project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service or result”. A project is temporary in that it has a defined beginning and end in time, and therefore defined scope and resources.
Project management can be understood as a systematic way of planning, scheduling, executing, monitoring, controlling the different aspects of the project, so as to attain the goal made at the time of project formulation.
Network Analysis is one of the important tools for project management.
Whether major or minor a project has to be completed in a definite time & at a definite cost.
The necessary information of any particular data can be represented as a project network.
PERT and CPM are the two network-based project management techniques, which exhibit the flow and sequence of the activities and events.
These techniques are very useful for planning, scheduling and executing large-time bound projects involving careful co-ordination of variety of complex and interrelated activities

According to a recent survey (2012) by the American Psychological Association (APA), when it comes to stress management and wellness, there is a gap between what Americans want from their health-care system and what they actually get.
Critical Path Method, or CPM, is a project modeling technique that helps project managers plan, schedule, and execute their projects effectively. It pinpoints the crucial tasks — the ones that, if delayed, would push back the project's entire timeline.
PERT is a project management tool used to schedule, organize, and coordinate tasks within a project. It is basically a method to analyze the tasks involved in completing a given project, especially the time needed to complete each task, and to identify the minimum time needed to complete the total project.
Introduction 1
Network is a technique used for planning and scheduling of large projects in the fields of construction, maintenance, fabrication, purchasing, computer system instantiation, research and development planning etc. There is multitude of operations research situations that can be modeled and solved as network. Some recent surveys reports that as much as 70% of the real-world mathematical programming problems can be represented by network related models. Network analysis is known by many names _PERT (Programme Evaluation and Review Technique), CPM (Critical Path Method), PEP (Programme Evaluation Procedure), LCES (Least Cost Estimating and Scheduling), SCANS (Scheduling and Control by Automated Network System), etc
This chapter will present three of algorithms.
1. PERT & CPM
2. Shortest- route algorithms
3. Maximum-flow algorithms
Program (Project) Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT): is a project management tool used to schedule, organize, and coordinate tasks within a project.

Supply Chain Management vs Logistics ManagementAnupam Kumar
This presentation explores the difference between logistics and supply chain management while tracking the development of the subject of distribution management, its progression to logistics management and its overall integration leading to the development of the subject of supply chain management. This presentation is aimed at explaining the transition of an organization from one stage of operations management to the next. It also explains the increase in the scope of operations management with the advent of the concept of supply chain management or simply SCM.
This presentation is suited for MBA, PGDM or BBA level students of business management and can be used for class lectures, class notes or class discussions. It will also give an idea to the budding entrepreneurs from taking their businesses from one stage of operations management to the next.
The current document is a presentation hand-out for the notes on the Socio-Economic Analysis of a Project. While starting an entrepreneurial project, various analysis are undertaken of which this present analysis tries to evaluate the social impact and economic worth of the project. This presentation gives an introduction to the topic for students of business management and even others.
Analyzing Tourism through the 4-A FrameworkAnupam Kumar
In the study ‘Matching Product Initiatives with Customer
Expectations: Analyzing Tourism through the 4-A Framework’ it has been argued that the time has come to have a re-look at the basic tourism products that one has to offer.
The paper highlights some of the options which became blatant in light of the 4-A framework. This study puts forth the view that as a viable tourism product, one must look at both the accessibility and affordability aspects in tandem.
Strategic management in different business contextAnupam Kumar
Strategic management operates differently in different business conditions and the priorities and expectations of the stakeholders also change accordingly. This presentation is a comparative description of five different types of strategic business contexts.
Strategy talks about the concept of fit with the environment and yet it also talks about developing resources and competences to manage future scenarios. This presentation talks about the concept of fit and stretch which is essential for an organization's well being.
This presentation is about the basic model of strategic management. It talks about the three basic components and the parts that constitute those components.
Dynamics and Dimensions Pertaining to the Purchase of Capital GoodsAnupam Kumar
This paper tries to explore the nuances of the purchase process of modular office equipments and tries to draw a distinction from all the other types of business to business sales/purchase processes. This is an exploratory study and the paper is based on the scientific observations been made by the author over his past 10 years of work experience with the modular office equipment industry in India. The detail gaps have been filled with the help of depth interviews with sales team members of modular office equipment manufacturers and architects from Delhi NCR. The paper explains that most businesses are largely dependent on their partner organizations, like the project management consultants, the architects and even to their vendors themselves, for adoption of a formal purchase process, citing the lack of knowledge and understanding as the basic reason for such a behavior. This paper tries to imply that all types of businesses, whether established or emerging, are adopting the use of partner organizations for their modular office equipment purchase decisions. It further likes to encourage researchers to explore a similar phenomenon in the human resource recruitment processes through campus placements or recruitment agencies. This paper tries to explain the increasing trend of outsourcing in the purchase processes by organizations to their partner organizations.
Indian Furniture Industry: Is It Time to Commoditize?Anupam Kumar
This paper charts out the growth of modular furniture in India and the various influences and imports of furniture from Malaysian, Chinese and other international shores. It further tries to evaluate the strategy of Indian furniture manufacturers, on one side, vis a vis the Chinese and Malaysian players, on the other, and tried to understand the basic difference between the approach of the two.
With the possibility of IKEA opening its operations in India, the paper tries to explore the possibility of having a large branded furniture set-up by an Indian organization to be able to take on the world.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
