7.In computer reports what is a "sort"?

Computer puts frequently used data into groups.

8.Identify which systems of network scheduling is best adapted to each of the following types of work:

Construction scheduling - CPM / Research and development - Pert / Project management - Pert / Fast-track construction - CPM

6.Name the types of network scheduling systems in use and state the proper type of work for each system.

Critical Path Method (CPM) - Shows interdependence of activities with respect to their orders. Work is completed in a sequence that is followed to complete the activity. Network analysis diagram is made to depict the start of each activity and its dependence upon the completion of the activity. A)Program Evaluation Review Technique (PERT) - principle of manual and automatic procedures. Follows the mechanism that involves planning / organizing / scheduling / budgeting / accounting / documentation / decision making / ect.

2.Name four types of scheduling methods?

Critical path method / bar charts / S-curves / pert

1.What is the other name for phased construction?

Fast Track

5.What is the primary disadvantage in the use of bar charts for scheduling?

It aims at scheduling the production.

3.Line-of-balance scheduling is best adapted to what type of application?

Planning construction work of identical floors in high-rise construction and large housing developments

4.What is the principal advantage of the traditional S-curve?

Represents the determined route of the construction process. Route is represented by the slope of the production velocity graph

9.It is well known that computerized CPM can be used for effective scheduling of time. Name two other applications that are possible using CPM

Track expenditures / other resource loading / tract labor money equipment or materials
