ProjectManagement (version 1.5.2)

schedule.pert: Schedule for deterministic projects

Description

This function calculates the duration of the project, the slacks for each activity, as well as the schedule of each activity.

Usage

schedule.pert(
  duration,
  prec1and2 = matrix(0),
  prec3and4 = matrix(0),
  PRINT = TRUE
)

Value

A list of a project schedule and if PRINT=TRUE a plot of schedule.

Arguments

duration

Vector with the duration for each activity.

prec1and2

A matrix indicating the order of precedence type 1 and 2 between the activities (Default=matrix(0)). If value \((i,j)=1\) then activity \(i\) precedes type \(1\) to \(j\), and if \((i,j)=2\) then activity \(i\) precedes type \(2\) to \(j\). Cycles cannot exist in a project, i.e. if an activity \(i\) precedes \(j\) then \(j\) cannot precede \(i\).

prec3and4

A matrix indicating the order of precedence type 3 and 4 between the activities (Default=matrix(0)). If value \((i,j)=3\) then activity \(i\) precedes type \(3\) to \(j\), and if \((i,j)=4\) then activity \(i\) precedes type \(4\) to \(j\). Cycles cannot exist in a project, i.e. if an activity \(i\) precedes \(j\) then \(j\) cannot precede \(i\).

PRINT

Logical indicator to show the schedule represented in a graph (Default=TRUE)
