CPM / PERT

For the purpose of Planning, Scheduling and controlling two different network models are used in costing. They are namely CPM (Critical Path Method) and PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique). These both models are helpful in progress and completion of large scale projects. Here project can be defined as large number of activities or jobs performed sequentially in logical or technological manner.

Critical Path Analysis is the analysis of identifying the longest path of a project network through which series of activities are completed. All other paths are called non – critical path and they offer flexibility in the project as they require less time compared to the critical path and so scheduling can be increased. The Critical Path is useful as a management tool to review constantly the project network and decisions can be taken regarding reformulation of the same. Critical Path Analysis helps in finding alternative paths in the project network.

PERT is very helpful in the cases when a great uncertainty is associated with a project. Such uncertainty is calculated and controlled by taking into account the Optimistic Time Estimates, Pessimistic Time Estimates and Most Likely Time Estimates. PERT helps in updating the network as and when required. PERT is also helpful in taking decisions regarding crashing of project i.e. completing the project earlier then the critical time by adding extra resources.


Working of CPM and PERT is a procedure involving five different steps. It is initiated with analyzing and breaking down of the project in different activities, and then determination of sequence of activities and their interdependence. This step is followed by assignment of cost and / or time to each activity and identifying the longest path by which the project can be completed. At this stage the working of Critical path Method ends and the work of PERT commences as at the last stage, Monitoring, evaluation and controlling the project progress is done. Many a times re – planning, re – scheduling and re – assignment are also required for the project.
