Abstract: This book is a unfied treatise on the technology of project planning and execution. It provides a systematic understanding of the different methodological approaches to the development and supervision of project plans. Readers are given a technical introduction to the main methodologies, such as graphs, active networks, CPM, PERT, GERT, and Petri nets, and given guidance as to when and why to apply one technique rather than another. The book emphasizes those techniques which are particularly suitable to exploiting the power of computation. The book also introduces ODM, a methodology based on the theory of fuzzy sets.
Keywords: project engineering; computer-oriented planning (and) operational decision making; active network; CPM; PERT; GERT; ODM; fuzzy set.
