What are the limitations of using Bar Chart?

Show relationships between project activities

Does not identify activities which control a project's total duration (i.e., critical activities comprising critical path)

Does not relate delay or change of one activity to the entire project

Can be used for large projects

Network analysis

is a method of project planning done on activities so that it is connected to each other

is used to optimized the usage of resources and also for monitoring and controlling

the purpose of network analysis is to ascertain the critical path for a certain project.

has a number of techniques for planning and control of projects

Objectives of Network Analysis are:

to minimize project cost

To minimize project time

To ensure optimum utilization of human and other resources

To ensure minimum conflicts and unnecessary delay

To minimize wastage of resources

Activity on Arrow (AOA) are:

Arrow represents activity

start or end of each activity is represented by a node.

existence of dummy activities

Node represents activity

Select the type of Network Analysis shown in the given figure

AOA - Activities on Arrow

AON - Activities on Nodes

11.

Multiple Select

45 sec

1 pt

The followings are information on AOA

Show Finish to start relationships

It is not possible to show lead or lag time. This makes project tracking difficult

There are instances where "dummy activities" can occur in AOA diagram.

AOA networks are not supported by many software tools , thus it is not widely used.

PERT

13.

Multiple Select

45 sec

1 pt

select the relevant information related to AON - Precedence Diagram Network

does not have dummy activities as the arrows represents only dependencies

can accommodate any types of relationship ( Finish to Start, Finish to Finish, Start to Start, Start to finish, Lead and Lag)

widely as it is supported by almost all the project management software tools

14.

Multiple Select

45 sec

1 pt

Select the following statement on dummies which are sometimes needed in AOA

The relationship that exist among activities cannot always be shown

is usually drawn as a dotted line but assigned no duration

are required for unique activity designation

are required to maintain proper logic of various construction activities

The followings are the advantages of CPM

Identify critical tasks

Easier to plan, schedule and control project

Determine the resource required

Improve productivity
