Two important scheduling techniques for modern construction management--the precedence technique and the arrow
technique--are developed and analyzed. The parallel treatment of these two applications presents a basis of theory
and practice for the civil engineering student and the practicing project manager. Introduces the concept of the
scheduling plan as a design process. Shows the steps for developing the list of activities as the basis for any
networking technique. Gives computations for arrow and precedence diagrams. Covers practical techniques for making
time-cost adjustments to early start schedules. Concludes with discussion of applications of techniques in the
context of real-life projects.
