Abstract:

Current network techniques presume that there is only one logical sequence of the activities in a project, therefore planners need to choose one particular logical sequence of the activities even if there is more than one possible sequence. This may request engineers expend many work hours to update the variable relationships between activities to keep a meaningful schedule, which effectively controls the progress of a project. This paper discusses the logic changes during the course of delivering the project. An object-oriented algorithm and computer system, called OERT and OERTSS respectively, have been developed to automatically update the logic changes providing the impact of logic change on the project completion date and the critical path thereby reflecting the progress of the project faster.

Keywords: logic changes, scheduling, object-oriented
