Abstract:

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 PERTs 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
