This document provides an overview of critical path analysis (CPA) for project management. CPA aims to plan complex operations efficiently, illustrate task sequences and dependencies, identify critical activities, and optimize resource allocation. It uses network diagrams to show logical task sequences and relationships. Calculating earliest start times, latest finish times, and float times helps determine the critical path that must be strictly followed to complete the project on schedule. While CPA can maximize efficiency, reliability issues may arise from inaccurate information or judgements. Effective communication is important for its successful implementation.

The document discusses the history and concepts of Critical Path Method (CPM) and Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT), which are network analysis techniques used for project management. CPM was developed by DuPont in the 1950s for chemical plant projects, while PERT was developed by the US Navy for the Polaris missile program. Both techniques use network diagrams of activities and their dependencies to analyze the critical path and schedule of a project. CPM uses deterministic activity times while PERT uses probabilistic times to account for uncertainty. The techniques help answer questions about project completion dates, schedules, budgets, and how to finish early.
Critical path method & pert
This document discusses project management techniques like PERT and CPM. It uses an example of a construction company, Reliable, that was contracted to build a plant within a year. Key steps in PERT/CPM include identifying activities, precedence relationships, and time information to build a project network. The critical path is the longest path through the network and determines the shortest project duration. Crashing activities can reduce time but increases costs, so trade-offs must be considered. Marginal cost analysis and linear programming can help optimize crashing decisions.

Network Diagrams
A network diagram is a flow chart that maps out all the tasks in a project and how they relate to each other. It provides a logical sequence of project events and dependencies between tasks. To create a network diagram, you determine all the activities, sequence them, estimate activity durations, and identify which tasks depend on others. The diagram is drawn by linking tasks with arrows to show dependencies from one activity to the next starting with tasks that have no predecessors. Network diagrams help visualize task relationships and identify critical paths and float.

This study examined the effectiveness of communication between leaders and congregation members in the Nazarene church. Surveys were administered to congregation members and leaders to measure satisfaction with communication and familiarity with church goals. Results found that congregation members reported being satisfied with communication from their pastor and familiar with church goals. However, leaders reported that communication between pastors and district superintendents could be improved. Leaders also indicated they do not typically set goals according to what congregation members desire. There were significant differences found between how congregation members and leaders perceive upward communication, transferring communication, agreement with church goals, and goal setting practices. Correlational analyses also found relationships between congregation member satisfaction, familiarity with goals, and perception of goal alignment between leaders

This document provides an overview of project management techniques network analysis, CPM, and PERT. It discusses that CPM and PERT were developed in the 1950s, with CPM by DuPont for chemical plants and PERT by the US Navy for missile programs. CPM uses deterministic activity times and a single estimate, while PERT uses probabilistic times and multiple estimates. Both techniques use networks of interconnected activities to plan and schedule projects. The critical path is the longest path through the network and determines the minimum project time. Network analysis helps answer questions about project schedules, costs, and critical activities.

CPM and PERT are network analysis techniques used for project planning and scheduling. CPM was developed in the 1950s by DuPont for chemical plant projects and focuses on minimizing project duration. PERT was developed by the US Navy for the Polaris missile program and handles uncertain activity times using probability. Both techniques represent activities as nodes and their dependencies as arrows to build a network that identifies the critical path showing the shortest time to complete the project.

CPM and PERT are network analysis techniques used to plan, manage, and control projects. CPM was developed by DuPont in the 1950s for chemical plant projects, using deterministic activity times. PERT was developed by the US Navy for the Polaris missile program, using probabilistic time estimates to account for uncertainty. Both techniques involve representing project activities as nodes and arrows on a network diagram to show precedence relationships and calculate the critical path. CPM/PERT help answer questions about project completion dates, schedules, budgets, critical activities, and how to finish early at lowest cost. They provide mathematical simplicity but require clearly defined activities and relationships.
PERT CPM Intro
The document discusses the history and concepts of Critical Path Method (CPM) and Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT), two network analysis techniques used for project management. CPM was developed by DuPont in the 1950s for chemical plant projects, focusing on cost-time tradeoffs. PERT was developed by the US Navy for the Polaris missile program to minimize completion time given uncertain activity durations. Both techniques use network diagrams of nodes and arrows to represent activities and their dependencies. The critical path is the longest sequence of activities determining the minimum project duration.

Ch 5.pptx
This document provides an overview of network models and summarizes key concepts related to PERT and CPM techniques. Some key points:
- Network models consist of nodes and connecting lines that can be used to model a variety of problems. PERT and CPM are two widely used network techniques.
- PERT was developed for project planning under uncertainty. CPM focuses on tradeoffs between time and cost. Both use the same calculations but differ in time estimation approaches.
- Critical paths identify the minimum time needed to complete a project. Activities on the critical path must be carefully managed to avoid delays. Non-critical activities have slack time and can be delayed without impacting the project completion date.

basic information on Pert And CPM
cpmpertmy (1)
Critical Path Method (CPM) and Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) are network analysis techniques used for project scheduling. CPM is deterministic and used for projects with predictable time estimates, while PERT is probabilistic and used for complex projects with uncertain time estimates. The key steps for both techniques include identifying activities, constructing a network diagram, estimating activity times, and determining the critical path which has zero slack time. PERT additionally calculates variability and probability of completion using a normal distribution curve based on the mean and standard deviation of activity times.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.

- 3. • As mentioned in the video critical path analysis contributes to lean production. • It is also aimed at reducing wastage and trying to do things in the most efficient way Explanation of the aims: 1. To plan complex operations - used in the London Olympics and and other large events 2. To illustrate the order of activities - in what sequence do we need to do things 3. To identify when an activity can commence - when can a business start projects and continue certain tasks 4. To identify critical activities - which activities are critical and need to be done as soon as possible 5. To identify opportunities to reallocate resources - If we know certain activities are critical we can reallocate the resources from activities that are less critical such as machinery, labour and working capital. It may shorten the activity time and make it more efficient.

- 5. Network diagrams: The diagram used in critical path analysis that shows logical sequence of activities and the logical dependencies between them - and the critical path can be identified. There are 3 reasons as to why we need to know these network diagrams: 1. We may be asked to construct a network diagram. 2. We may be asked to make changes to an existing network diagram. 3. We may be asked to interpret the information on a network diagram.
- 6. H OW TO C O N S T RU C T A N E TWO R K D I AG RA M -
- 7. • A = Activity reference letter • Number at the bottom is how long the activity will last (generally days or weeks) • Nodes are start point and finish points • 0 means no delay • EST - earliest start time = the earliest an activity can begin • LFT - latest finish time = the latest an activity will end
- 8. H OW TA S KS A R E L I N KED
- 9. • 1 - starting point • A & B = simultaneously • All activities need to be finished to be able to start activity D • Node at the end to show that it is the finished point of the project

- 11. Earliest start time: refers to the earliest possible time an activity can begin without reducing the duration of any of the preceding activities. Calculate? EST of next activity = EST from previous activity + duration Rule 1 - left to right

- 13. Latest finish time: The time by which a portion of a project must end Calculate? LFT of last activity = LFT of activity - activity duration Golden rule - right to left
- 14. WH AT I S F LOAT T I M E ?
- 15. Float time: Float is any spare time that we might have in our network Example: For a business, we want to think about how we use resources during those activities that have float. So we could take resources away and put them elsewhere to actually reduce the length of the whole project.
- 16. H OW D O WE CA LC U LATE F LOAT T I M E ?
- 17. Float time = Last finished time of activity — activity duration — Earliest start time • If there is float time then this shows that those certain activities are not critical. However if there is no float time then this is a critical activity.

- 19. • Any delay on any of the critical activities will alter that latest finish time. • These red lines show us that none of these activities can be delayed. If there were any changes in any of these activities the whole project would fall behind.

- 21. Advantages: 1. Minimise our loss of time to maximise efficiency and use of time. We can work out which activities happen simultaneously and again which activities we can actually do simultaneously or move resources around from to improve our use of time. Disadvantages: 1. So if you have a number of factors that your trying to account for. It may lose accuracy. If one or two activities aren’t aren’t calculated properly then it can throw the whole project out of time 2. Reliability may be an issue and biased judgements 3. Good communication in making sure it will work. All functions need to make sure they work together properly 4. A project which was seven years in advance or a project that has never been undertaken by a business before are likely to have less reliable information. Also thinking about who is making the CPA should be taken into consideration as there may be some biased
- 22. Overall, critical path analysis is a widely-used project management tool that uses network analysis to help project managers to handle complex and time-sensitive operations. This analysis can be a big advantage to businesses that have large operations. Thank you.
