Abstract
Network Analysis is a new technique for planning work. It reduces the examination of a project to three stages:
-
(1)
Breaking down the project into a set of individual jobs or events and arranging them into a logical network.
-
(2)
Estimating the duration and resource requirements of each job, deducing a schedule and finding which jobs control the completion of the project.
-
(3)
Re-allocating money or other resources to improve the schedule.
