This module, presented by Dr. Mohamed Zamil Al-Akhtaby, covers critical aspects of project management including network computation processes such as forward and backward passes, early start and finish, and identifying critical paths. Additionally, it delves into resource management concepts, including loading and leveling, to ensure efficient resource utilization in projects. A practical example of budgeting for a general foundry project is also included, illustrating how to manage activity costs and optimize project schedules.

Project Management Module 3 Dr. Mohamed Zamil AL-Akhtaby
Network Computation Process • Forward Pass—Earliest Times • How soon can the activity start? (early start—ES) • How soon can the activity finish? (early finish—EF) • How soon can the project finish? (expected time—ET) • Backward Pass—Latest Times • How late can the activity start? (late start—LS) • How late can the activity finish? (late finish—LF) • Which activities represent the critical path? CP • How long can it be delayed? (slack or float—SL)

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT - LOADING & LEVELING What is a resource? Resource is a generic word and is used in various ways. For our discussion, we would restrict it to 4Ms or Man, Machine, Material and Money. What is management? Once again, Management is a generic word. To simplify, it is a process of planning, implementing and controlling the resources to achieve desired objectives.
RESOURCE MANAGEMENT - LOADING & LEVELING What is resource management? Resource Management is using resources efficiently and effectively. To sum up, efficiency is having more output for the same input or less input for the same output. What are Resource Management Techniques? When we come to techniques, we would once again restrict ourselves to: Resource Loading and Resource Leveling as follows:
