Example
The project to be planned is to build a custom three-bedroom home according to specifications determined in a detailed set of architectural drawings. A good construction superintendent has reviewed these plans with the carpenter, mason, plumber, roofer, and construction foreman, and has listed tasks that need to be performed, their necessary sequence relationship, and the amount of time each task is expected to take (see Table 7-1). To be able to focus supervisory attention on tasks that are on the critical path, the superintendent laid out a critical path chart. This original rough charting and the final critical path chart are shown in Figures 7-4 and 7-5.
