Most students enjoy watching live performance such as concert specifically musical events. Just like the Programs and Arts Committee of the student Government Association, they really want the band so they will do anything to get the Bloodless Coup.
To solve this problem, they need to accomplish all of these in 18 days or shorter. Using PERT or Project Evaluation and Review Technique method, we are required to show the solution regarding this case.
Program evaluation and review technique (PERT) is a technique adopted by organizations to analyze and represent the activity in a project, and to illustrate the flow of events in a project. PERT is a method to evaluate and estimate the time required to complete a task within deadlines.
PERT serves as an management tool to analyze, define and integrate events. PERT also illustrates the activities and interdependencies in a project. The main goal of PERT is to reduce the cost and time needed to complete a project.
ERT was developed in 1950 by the U.S. Navy during the Cold War and is intended for large projects, which are:
Complex
Require a series of sequential tasks
Performed in parallel with other projects
PERT planning usually involves the following steps:
1. Identifying Tasks and Milestones: Every project involves a series of required tasks. These tasks are listed in a table allowing additional information on sequence and timing to be added later.
2. Placing the Tasks in a Proper Sequence: The tasks are analyzed and placed in a sequence to get the desired results.
3. Network Diagramming: A network diagram is drawn using the activity sequence data showing the sequence of serial and parallel activities.
4. Time Estimating: This is the time required to carry out each activity, in three parts:
