Analysis of Nagpur Metro Rail Project using CPM, PERT and Crashing

Abstract

Network analytical tools like CPM/PERT are used for project scheduling and to determine the optimum project completion time.  A network diagram is the first thing to sketch an arrow diagram which shows inter-dependencies and the precedence relationship among activities of the project. In most of the situation the duration of the project can be reduced by assigning more resources to many of the activities. The additional resources or even labor, increase the cost of the project. Crashing method is used to analyze the balance between the time duration and the project cost.
