DESCRIPTION:
This course is designed to educate State highway, FHWA, and industry project staff about the availability of effective construction and maintenance planning and scheduling tools that can help in providing visual representation of current project status,
completed tasks, and expected completion of all activities. These tools can be focused to accelerate construction and minimize impact on the traveling public.
OUTCOMES:
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
- Create a CPM chart for a sample project using these basic components: a project definition, milestones and a Gantt chart, work schedules (including work breakdown schedules), and an activity network
- Calculate resource needs and reserves, and propose resource leveling strategies
- Prepare a risk analysis/management plan for the sample project
- Use a complex CPM to determine the status of the project, identifying slack or float and delays
- Describe methods for managing multi-project scheduling
TARGET AUDIENCE:
Federal, State, local, and private contractor project engineers/managers and related field personnel.
