CMPM Group 5 Report - 070603

The document discusses network conventions for PERT and CPM including activity on arrow and activity on node. Arrows and nodes make up the network diagram with nodes representing the beginning and end of activities called events.

CHAPTER V

THE NETWORK FUNDAMENTALS


NETWORK CONVENTIONS
The making and reading of a network diagram requires some
familiarity of the network conventions. One of the main
features of PERT and CPM is their use of network or presence
diagram which is the key In solving typical problems.

The NETWORK DIAGRAM is composed of a number of


ARROWS and NODES
They are two slightly different conventions
for making a network diagram

1. ACTIVITY ON ARROW (AOA) – that is using arrows to


designate activities.

2. ACTIVITY ON NODE (AON) – using nodes to designate


activities.
The nodes in the AOA approach represents the beginning and the end
of activities, which are called event.
Events are point in time. Unlike activities, they do not consume
either resources or time. Activities can be referred to in two ways.
One is by their end points such as activity 1-2 and the other is by
letter assigned to an arrow such as activity a,b,c, etc.
