The purpose of this thesis is to present a method for the planning and schedul ing of design engineering projects by applying the fundamentals of critical path scheduling, sans computer. An actual case history is used and the detailed mechanics of installing the project on critical path is presented. The case history is taken from the Plant Engineering Division of the Y-12 Plant, which is operated by Union Carbide Corporation for the Atomic Energy Commission in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. This method is suitable for design engineering organizations that range in size up to 200 engineers and draftsmen. The author sums the experience of two and one-half years of applying critical path scheduling to design engineering projects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
