Cpm in Construction Management

Critical Path Method (CPM) is a powerful technique for achieving speed, accuracy, and flexibility in planning and scheduling for project design and construction. This book describes fully the concept of CPM and its practical use in the construction industry. Included are details of specific project applications, as well as discussions of how CPM can be used in the areas of cost control and resource management. The fourth edition features a new chapter on computer programs and systems, and evaluates the impact of personal computers on calculating CPM schedules. This edition contains a number of informative case studies, but one comprehensive case study is used throughout the book to exemplify the versatility of CPM-from project preparation and monthly construction reviews, to claims evaluation.
