Abstract
Network techniques for management use were popularized by the development of the Critical Path Method (CPM) and the Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) in the mid- to late fifties. These techniques were designed to facilitate the planning and control of large-scale construction and engineering development projects and were soon proven to be very effective aids in the management of complex, one-of-a-kind undertakings (see Work Scheduling Techniques, 1968). In the ensuing years, the techniques found ready application to a number of projects—for example, the Polaris and other weapon system development efforts, NASA’s Apollo program and lunar excursion, and a host of more down-to-earth industrial and commercial undertakings.
