PERT And CPM: Questions With Complete Solutions
Program Evaluation and Review
Technique Right Ans - PERT
Critical Path Method Right Ans - CPM
PERT and CPM Right Ans - are techniques used to plan and coordinate
large-scale projects. Additionally, these are used as control tools for defining
the parts of construction job and then putting them together in a network
form.
PRESIDENTIAL DECREE (PD) 1594 Right Ans - "The program of work shall
include, among other things, estimates of the work items, quantities, costs and
a PERT/CPM network of the project activities ... in the preparation of the
bidding documents, the government shall make and estimate of the actual
number of working days required to complete the project through PERT/CPM
analysis of the project activities and corrected for holidays and weekends"
MEMORANDUM
CIRCULAR NO. 153 Right Ans - Issued by President Ferdinand E. Marcos on
January 27, 1968
MEMORANDUM
CIRCULAR NO. 153 Right Ans - "In order that the performance discipline on
the field could be controlled and easy
reporting system could be made to facilitate
the monitoring, evaluation, inspection
completion of infrastructure projects, all
heads of departments and chief of bureaus and
offices concerned are hereby required to change the old system of preparing
the work programs of said projects from the Gantt Chart (Bar
Type) to the PERT/CPM network. Strict compliance herewith is enjoined"

SECTION 6 OF
, R.A 5979 Right Ans - Requires the application of PERT/CPM technique to
all projects with an estimated cost of P100,000 or more.
Thus, PERT/CEM now has become an integral part as a requirement of project
construction management.
1. graphical display of project activities
2. estimate of how long will the project last
3. Determine which activities are the most critical to timely project
compilation
4. Determine how long any activity can be delayed without lengthening the
project. Right Ans - With the use of PERT/CPM, the project manager
can easily obtain the following informations:
1. Planning
2. Scheduling
3. Controlling Right Ans - THREE PHASES OF PERT/CPM
PLANNING Right Ans - defined as determining the relationship between
the work operation and the sequence in which they are to be performed.
PLANNING Right Ans - process of devising of a workable scheme of
operations that, when put into action, will accomplish an established
objective.
PLANNING Right Ans - MOST TIME CONSUMING
DIFFICULT ASPECT OF THE JOB MANAGEMENT
ALSO MOST IMPORTANT
CONSTRUCTION PLANNING Right Ans - as well as scheduling, must be
done by people who are experienced in, and thoroughly familiar with, the type
of field work involved.
BEGINNING-TO-END
PLANNING Right Ans - Breaks the job into steps or activities, starting with
the mobilization of the project, and proceeding step by step through the
project to completion.
BEGINNING-TO-END
PLANNING Right Ans - This method presumes some level of detail from
