Project Network Analysis Model to Dredging Operations In Niger Delta

摘要

The research work thrives to evolve proper planning, scheduling, controlling of dredgingactivities, timing and task allocations using well-known project management techniques. The whole essence ofthe research is applying the renowned network project model- critical path method [CPM]. The projectactivities time period 2014-2017 was scheduled for data collections. The CPM was applied for data analysis todecipher completely the usefulness of this work. Finally, the results obtained from the analysis of the eventsfrom node 1 to node 15 in figure 1 critical path method scheme for the project are zero slack time of each eventdetermining critical activities for the two dredging sites [Aleto-Eleme and Rumu-opara-ali] in Port Harcourtmetropolis Rivers State. The economics of this research work to the two dredging operations was cost ofproduction was minimized for project designed for two months was achieved within 49 days and the extra daysspent on new dredging operations.
