PROGRAM EVALUATION AND REVIEW TECHNIQUE (PERT)

Program (Project) Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) (G) 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. PERT planning involves the following steps:  Identify the specific activities and milestones.  Determine the proper sequence of the activities.  Construct a network diagram.  Estimate the time required for each activity.  Determine the critical path.  Update the PERT chart as the project progresses. OBJECTIVE The main objective of PERT is to facilitate decision making and to reduce both the time and cost required to complete a project. FIELD OF APPLICATION PERT is intended for very large-scale, one-time, non-routine, complex projects with a high degree of intertask dependency, projects which require a series of activities, some of which must be performed sequentially and others that can be performed in parallel with other activities.

The project evaluation and review technique (PERT) and critical path method (CPM) were applied in a building construction company. Different activities involved in the house construction project were described. The earliest events, latest commencement and completion of activities were determined using Forward and Backward pass computations in CPM. Critical paths were determined using both CPM and PERT. Based on the analysis, it was shown that the completion of the house project using CPM was almost the same with that of PERT such that the difference between both techniques was only one day. The probability that the house construction project could be completed in 151 days was 99.87%. This implies that the house construction project could be completed on time using both techniques. However, the results showed that the implementation of both CPM and PERT methods are effective and efficient in a house construction project.

In order to complete a project in time, companies must deter mine both the duration of the entire project as well as each of i ts individual tasks. Very often less experienced companies do not collect data affecting time limit for project completion. Then time required to perform specified activities are determined based on estimation and companies own experience. To mini mize the risk error arising as a result of using incomplete historical data and simu ltaneously increasing the effectiveness of estimating the duration of the pro ject, most project managers with pleasure use the PERT method (Program Evaluation an d Review Technique) to estimate the duration of individual tasks of the pr oject on the basis of three intermediate estimation values: optimistic, realist ic and pessimistic. This paper will set the duration of an IT (Information Technology) project implementation tasks, determine both critical tasks as well as critical p th of the project. Based on estimates deadlines ev.

Construction development in Indonesia is being intensively carried out as a characteristic that Indonesia is a developing country. CV. X is a construction company that has a project in the form of ten shophouses with three floors. The project is planned to start in August 2020 and be completed in December 2021 or for 68 weeks. The change of seasons becomes an obstacle in the work of the project that causes delays. Progress expected by CV. X in 2 months of project work is 8%, but the reality on the project progress field is only 6%. Therefore, this study aims to optimize existing work time so that the delay can be overcome. The method used in this study is Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) with rainfall as the probability. The results of the study found that the project work time can be optimized by 3% and delays can be overcome because the project completion time becomes 66 weeks. The project is still ongoing, so there is still a possibility of error, therefore effectiv.

Now a day's mass housing construction projects are common in India. There are so many approaches have been used for repetitive construction projects towards optimizing time and cost. In this project we have implemented a proposed theoretical model for effective utilization of labour to get optimum duration and cost. Generally critical path method is used for repetitive type of construction but in this project we use programme evaluation review technique to find the duration of project. There are many resources which affect the project time and cost like material, money, machinery, space etc. But from the literature survey it is observed that now a day's the labour is major resource which affects the productivity of project. Labour absenteeism rate is about 5% to 25% in construction projects, which is vary according to the size of projects. There are so many factors affecting the labour absenteeism. The study of these factors is necessary because by studying these factors we get an idea about the labours problems. Once we know about the labour problems we can solve their problems, we can provide a various facilities by which labours get satisfied. So in this way we can reduce the absenteeism rate of labours by solving their problems and by providing good facilities to them. The goal of any construction project is to complete the project within the estimated time and with minimum cost. The delay in a construction projects affects both owner and contractor. The main goal of this study is to find out the optimum duration for the completion of project. Because we know that if the project duration is minimum then project cost is automatically reduces. In this project the data is collected from the mass housing construction project. The expected time for the completion of project is finding out by using the programme evaluation review technique. Now the collected data is analysed and find out the optimum duration and cost. We know that the construction industry is a second largest industry in a world. The development of such industry plays an important role in a developing country like India. So for that it is necessary to improve the productivity of construction industry
