How to Strengthen Workers Management Relationship Using Network Techniques - A Case Study


 

PERT and CPM are two network techniques which were developed independently of each other, during the late 1950s. They are used in planning and controlling projects. They both use similar concepts.While CPM is deterministic, the PERT is probabilistic in nature.The techniques of PERT and CPM prove extremly valuable in assisting the managers in handling such projects and thus discharging their project management responsibilities. The above research paper includes modelling and simulating of the formation of human resources by applying the PERT/CPM and taking into consideration of some risks associated to this activity.The aim of the research paper is to offer practical support to the management of organizations in order to make a formation program of human resources, which implies activities of precedence and interelated, critical paths, the distribution of time resources and necessary costs for the fulfilment of the organisational objectives.

Abstract


PERT and CPM are two network techniques which were developed independently of each other, during the late 1950s. They are used in planning and controlling projects. They both use similar concepts.While CPM is deterministic, the PERT is probabilistic in nature.The techniques of PERT and CPM prove extremly valuable in assisting the managers in handling such projects and thus discharging their project management responsibilities. The above research paper includes modelling and simulating of the formation of human resources by applying the PERT/CPM and taking into consideration of some risks associated to this activity.The aim of the research paper is to offer practical support to the management of organizations in order to make a formation program of human resources, which implies activities of precedence and interelated, critical paths, the distribution of time resources and necessary costs for the fulfilment of the organisational objectives.
