Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) Formulated for Digital Computer Application

摘要

The implementation of PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) to a digital computer provides an economical means for schedule simulation, analysis and monitoring of a complex engineering development program. It is the primary objective of this presentation to formulate PERT's procedural mechanics in digital computer terminology. It is assumed the reader possesses a fundamental knowledge of PERT, therefore the emphasis is on the analytical formulation of statistical time measures which characterize a scheduled program. For a subjective treatment of PERT, see T.I.S. R60EML46. (Author)
