CPM Network Multiple Choice Question
(A) Event oriented
(B) Activity oriented
(C) Slack oriented
(D) Float oriented
Explanation
The Critical Path Method (CPM) is a project management and scheduling technique used to plan and control large projects. In a CPM network, the focus is on activities, which are the tasks that consume time and resources. These activities are represented as arrows or nodes in the network diagram, while events mark the start or end of activities but are not the primary focus.
Key Notes
- CPM is activity oriented, emphasizing tasks that require time and resources, such as construction or manufacturing processes.
- In contrast, PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) is event oriented, focusing on milestones or events rather than tasks.
- Slack or float refers to the flexibility in scheduling non-critical activities but is not the primary focus of the CPM network.
- CPM is widely used in civil engineering and project management to optimize schedules and resource allocation.
Note: The activity-oriented nature of CPM networks makes them essential for effective planning and execution of complex projects in civil engineering and other fields.
