Engineering Project Management: Tutorial 3 2017/2018

This document provides information on project management using PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique). It includes a sample PERT chart with activities and time estimates. It then calculates the mean, variance, and standard deviation of the project duration. Using this data and the normal distribution, it determines the probability the project will be completed within 30 weeks (95.55%) and within 22 weeks (13.2%).

completed within 30 weeks?
x-
 2 = 6.89 weeks Z =

 = 6.89 = 30 - 25
2.62
 = 2.62 weeks
= 1.91

From the Z table a Z score of 1.91 corresponds to a probability of 0.9555

 2 = 6.89 weeks Z =

 = 6.89 = 22 - 25
