การใช้งาน MS-Project 2007 ร่วมกับ Pert Chart Expert

As Fred was explaining that the next job of the group was to complete a fi nal version of all project plans and fi rm up the schedule of the Program, the Construction Project Manager stated that it was his turn to present his broad project plan for construction of the facility. He also added that he had a major scheduling issue to bring to the team. The Construction Project Manager presented the following broad project plan for facility construction.

The construction PM proceeded to explain that the scheduling constraints that the Board of Trustees gave the team were not feasible. The Board wanted construction to begin immediately after the elections in November and to be ready for occupants by June. The contractor did not want to begin the project at the beginning of winter. The fi rst phases of the project plan detailed work that needed to be completed outside. If the weather was bad, the construction PM knew the schedule would be affected. The construction project manager also pointed out that the schedule created by the contractor was designed around a 40 - hour, fi ve - day workweek. If the building project began in November, the estimated
project duration would be increased by one to two months, during which time some construction crewmen would have to be paid, thereby increasing the building cost. The PM recommended that construction begin in February or March of the following year, which would give the facility a shorter build time and a lower cost. The budget and project duration submitted were based on a March 1 start date. He stated that the construction phase of the project did not need to hold up the other members of the Program team — they could begin their work on their projects anytime.
