CEE 241T: Fundamentals of Managing Fabrication and Construction

Schedule representations including Gantt chart, critical path method (CPM), 4D modeling, and location-based schedules (LBS); activity definition; Product Breakdown Structure (PBS) and Work Breakdown Structure (WBS); consideration of resources constraints, variability, and types of materials in schedule definition; production systems including push, pull, and collaborative systems; project control including earned value analysis (EVA) and plan percent complete (PPC); schedule performance metrics. Class will be held during the first five weeks of Autumn Quarter only.
