schedule.pert {ProjectManagement}

Schedule for deterministic projects

Description

This function calculates the duration of the project, the slacks for each activity, as well as the schedule of each activity.

Usage

schedule.pert(
  duration,
  prec1and2 = matrix(0),
  prec3and4 = matrix(0),
  PRINT = TRUE
)

Arguments

duration

Vector with the duration for each activity.

prec1and2

A matrix indicating the order of precedence type 1 and 2 between the activities (Default=matrix(0)). If value (i,j)=1 then activity i precedes type 1 to j, and if (i,j)=2 then activity i precedes type 2 to j. Cycles cannot exist in a project, i.e. if an activity i precedes j then j cannot precede i.

prec3and4

A matrix indicating the order of precedence type 3 and 4 between the activities (Default=matrix(0)). If value (i,j)=3 then activity i precedes type 3 to j, and if (i,j)=4 then activity i precedes type 4 to j. Cycles cannot exist in a project, i.e. if an activity i precedes j then j cannot precede i.

PRINT

Logical indicator to show the schedule represented in a graph (Default=TRUE)

Value

A list of a project schedule and if PRINT=TRUE a plot of schedule.
