REVIEW THESE NOTES BEFORE :

To begin DRAWING your Network (for PERT 1): Draw a POINT on the left of your paper: Look at 2nd Column - How many DASHES do you see? There are 3 ... next to A, B and C Draw 3 line segments connected form the point. Label them A, B C. A D B E In the second column, Look for A. Now read from that A to the left. You see D. At the end of the segment you labeled A, draw a connecting segment and label it D (See top of this network.) From the chart, once again, look for B on the second column. To the left of D on the first column, you see E. Draw a segment after B and label it E. Follow the same process for C. (The dashes just mean that YOU were suppose to do it without looking. It is a solid line segment. You should label C and F (not labeled in the diagram above.) On that second column, you will see at the end that you have D,E,F all together. (Make sure that you bring your segments together ...) That means that they meet at a point ... do you see how D, E and G converge? From that common endpoint, then we get G. Notice that if you read the second column (D,E,G), and look to the right on the first column, you see path G Now use the formula to fine Te.

To begin DRAWING your Network (Sample): Draw a POINT on the left of your paper: Look at 2nd Column (Preconditions) How many DASHES do you see? There is only 1... next to A Draw 1-line segment connected form the point. Label it A. In the second column, Look for A. Now read from that A - in the second column - to the left. You see B. At the end of the segment you labeled A, draw a connecting segment and label it B From the chart, once again, look for B on the second column. You see two B's. To the left of B on the first column, you see C and D. Draw two segment after B and label them appropriately - (notice the branches in purple) E Follow the same process for C. (The dashes just mean that YOU were suppose to do it without looking. It is a solid line segment. You should label E and you must extend branch D On that second column, you will see at the end that you have D, E together. (Make sure that you bring your segments together ... Segments D and E meet!) That means that they meet at a point ... do you see how D and E converge? From that common endpoint, then we get F.

First: We draw a connector For the beginning of Activity A and a link showing the path to Activity B. Label the top of the pathway A: and in the bracket the job starts at day (. Notice that under the A there is a 2. This is estimated time of completion for that activity. A set of brackets have been added nest to the 2 since we will eventually compute [LS ; ES]. For now, we have pending (?) question marks. Activity B is dependent of A; hence, it follows A and the appropriate labels are next to and below it! Compute using the formula: te= (Lo +4 tmi + tp) +6.
