W3_Livinus_Use of CPM on Fabrication of Pressure vessel
1. PROBLEM RECOGNITION
Determine the need to optimize resources thereby increasing efficiency and productivity by applying CPM in the Fabrication of pressure vessel
2. ALTERNATIVE
Using CPM analysis
3. DEVELOP THE OUTCOME OF THE ALTERNATIVE
- To encourage project team to graphically draw and identify various activities that need to be accomplished for project completion
- To evaluate and identify the requirements of the project in a critical and logical fashion
4. SELECTION OF CRITERIA
In order to determine what criteria should be used, the followings should be considered:
- Identify the critical path
- Optimize the time-cost relationship
- Identify slack and float time in the project
5. ANALYSIS FOR THE ALTERNATIVES
- It determines the start and end of the project and the path may change during the project
- Task start and finishes are carefully tracked
- People are evaluated in terms of whether their tasks are late relative to their committed calendar date for task completion.
6. SELECT THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVES
Based on the above, CPM is the best alternatives for critical projects.
7. PERFORMANCE MONITORING & EVALUATION
Increase monitoring to ensure compliance

Hi Livinus,
ReplyDeleteWhile you picked a good case study topic, you still are not understanding what I am looking for using our 7 step method.
For feasible alternatives, you should have listed the following:
ADM Method
PDM Method
GERT
PERT
Systems Dynamics
Then using multi atribute decision making or any of the other decision making tools such as affinity diagrams or force field analysis, you would then compare which one of these methods is "best" or "most appropriate" for your application.
Also, the specifications require a MINIMUM of 3 references. You only provided 2.
Sorry, but I have no choice but to REJECT this posting and ask that you redo it as W3.1, but this time, I suggest you seek out help from Reginald or anyone else who has gotten an AWESOME comment.
