Q1. Write short notes on:
(Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique (GERT), Cost control) 5, 5
Answer.
Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique (GERT)
Graphical Evaluation & Review Technique (GERT) deals with probabilistic situations.
Although PERT technique also deals with uncertainties in timing of the projects its
calculations are based on the assumption that each activity contemplated will
materializewithout any omission and thereis no allowancefor a probabilistic choiceof a
path between nodes. PERT can not deal with a situation where the activities already
dropped at a subsequent stage to
Q2. Describe CPM technique of project planning.
2. (Explain what is the CPM, Steps in CPM planning, Benefits of CPM, Limitations of CPM)
1,6,1.5,1.5
Answer.
CPM technique of project planning
In 1957, this project management method was designed in order to address the
challengeof shutting down thechemical plants for maintenanceand then restarting the
plants oncethemaintenancework was completed. The main benefits of the CPM are as
follows:
· CPM provides a graphical view of the project
· CPM predicts the time required to complete the project
· It shows the activities which are critical to maintaining the schedule and which are not
Q.3. what do you understand by managing cash flow?
(Description of Moving Averages and, Exponential Smoothing.) 5,5
ANS:
Moving Averages
The method of moving averages for smoothing a time series is highly subjective and
dependent on L, the length of the period selected for constructing the averages. If
cyclical fluctuations are present in the data, the value of L chosen should be an integer
valuethat corresponds to (or is a multiple of) the estimated average length of a cycle in
the series. For example, suppose we want to compute 5-year moving averages from
a series containing n = 11 years.
Q.4. Describe how you can choose an appropriate forecasting model. (2 marks each)
Guidelines for Selecting a Model for the Purpose of Forecasting:
· Performing a Residual Analysis
· Measuring the Magnitude of the Residual Error Through Squared or Absolute
Differences
· Mean Absolute Deviation
· Principle of Parsimony
ANS:
3. Guidelines for Selecting a Model for the Purpose of Forecasting
The guidelines are as given below:
1. Perform a residual analysis
2. Measure the magnitude of the residual error through the squared differences
3. Measure the magnitude of the residual error through absolute differences
Q.5. Describe how you can display data using Gantt chart and Network Diagram Chart
in MS Project.
( Description of displaying data using Gantt chart, Description of displaying data using
network diagram chart) 5, 5
ANS:
Description of displaying data using Gantt chart
The Gantt chart is a horizontal bar chart that represents each task in the time scale of
theproject. Each task entered in theproject will be shown. The Gantt Chart can be used
to visually keep track of the tasks and also may be used to identify important points
about each task. Those tasks that together control the completion date are known as
the
Q.6. How to create a report on the project activities in the MS Project.
(A Setting Up of Reports, Process of Creating or Editing Reports , Reports that can be
printed, Check the Reports Available , Print a Report, Reports by Report Type) (2 marks
each)
ANS:
Editing Reports: Most of your reports will be available from the pre-selected ones. The
Custom choice will allow you to design a very specific report if required. Using this
feature will hopefully now be familiar to you as the principle is not dissimilar to and
easier than editing tables and filters. When creating a custom report format the Custom
Report box will display 25 options which can beused directly or edited according to your
4. needs. When the required settings have been made the new report will be available for
printing.
