PROGRAMMING AND SCHEDULING TECHNIQUES
Planning is an important management function and its effective
execution is a condition precedent for successful project out-
comes. This book addresses operational rather than strategic
aspects of planning of construction projects. It describes specific
scheduling techniques and processes commonly used in the con-
struction industry. While used mainly at the construction stage,
the described techniques and processes are suitable for applica-
tion across all the stages of the project life cycle.

The bulk of the book describes deterministic scheduling tech-
niques, but the last two chapters introduce the concept of proba-
bility scheduling using Monte Carlo simulation and PERT. The
book examines scheduling techniques such as the bar chart, criti-
cal path method, multiple activity chart and line of balance. It
includes a brief chapter on critical chain scheduling and describes
its main features. Although not a scheduling technique, work
study has nevertheless been included since it assists planners and
project managers in developing efficient production methods.
