CPM - Critical Path Method In 1957‚ DuPont developed a project management method designed to address the challenge of shutting down chemical plants for maintenance and then restarting the plants once the maintenance had been completed. Given the complexity of the process‚ they developed the Critical Path Method (CPM) for managing such projects. CPM provides the following benefits: Provides a graphical view of the project. Predicts the time required to complete the project. Shows which

CONVENTIONAL METHODS FOR SOFTWARE Software Engineering SYSTEM ENGINEERING Software engineering occurs as a consequence of a process called system engineering. Instead of concentrating solely on software‚ system engineering focuses on a variety of elements‚ analyzing‚ designing‚ and organizing those elements into a system that can be a product‚ a service‚ or a technology for the transformation of information or control. The system engineering process is called business process engineering

Using Algebraic and Graphical Methods This paper proposes an algebraic and a graphical method for finding all the performance extreme values of a three-phase induction machine when it operates as a motor or a generator. The performance extreme include maximum efficiency‚ maximum power factor‚ maximum electric power‚ maximum torque and maximum mechanical power in both motoring and generating modes. In addition to the algebraic method‚ this paper shows how an old graphical method can be used to accurately

The use of mixed methods is currently increasing in social science research since it emphasizes methodological pluralism‚ and provides a broader and more credible understanding of the research problem than the use of a single method (Tashakkori and Teddlie 2010). However‚ mixing methods for no good reason other than the sake of it can produce disjointed and unfocussed research‚ and can severely test the capabilities of researchers. I raise some cautionary issues in this paper by critiquing the methodology

Training and Development Methods 1. Classroom Lecture Method: This is the most commonly used‚ simple‚ cost effective and conventional method. It is timesaving because it covers maximum number of people in a short period of time. It involves a speech by the instructor with very limited discussions. Clear and direct methods of presentation. Weaknesses of the method are that‚ lecture time is more than the normal human attention span of fifteen minutes and the contents of the lecture could be easily
