Today, a major component of any project management effort is the
combined use of qualitative and quantitative tools. While
publications on qualitative approaches to project management are
widely available, few project management books have focused on the
quantitative approaches. This book represents the first major
project management book with a practical focus on the quantitative
approaches to project management. The book organizes quantitative
techniques into an integrated framework for project planning,
scheduling, and control. Numerous illustrative examples are
presented. Topics covered in the book include PERT/CPM/PDM and
extensions, mathematical project scheduling, heuristic project
scheduling, project economics, statistical data analysis for
project planning, computer simulation, assignment and
transportation problems, and learning curve analysis. Chapter one
gives a brief overview of project management, presenting a
general-purpose project management model. Chapter two covers CPM,
PERT, and PDM network techniques. Chapter three covers project
scheduling subject to resource constraints. Chapter four covers
project optimization. Chapter five discusses economic analysis for
project planning and control. Chapter six discusses learning curve
analysis. Chapter seven covers statistical data analysis for
project planning and control. Chapter eight presents techniques for
project analysis and selection. Tables and figures are used
throughout the book to enhance the effectiveness of the
discussions. This book is excellent as a textbook for upper-level
undergraduate and graduate courses in Industrial Engineering,
Engineering Management, and Business, and as a detailed,
comprehensive guidefor corporate management.
