Aplicação do método PERT/CPM na construção civil

Abstract

This work aimed at demonstrating the use of the PERT / CPM method as a way of assisting the management of projects in a civil construction project. The construction industry is a branch that has many challenges to overcome day after day, and the most serious problem is the delays, which generate very high costs for construction companies. PERT / CPM is a tool that helps the project manager to calculate the correct execution time of a work and calculate the slack of each activity, and most importantly the critical path, that is, the activities that make up the critical path. can be delayed because their play is zero. With the determined clearances and the critical path established the manager will know which raw material he will have greater bargaining power or not, since the larger the gap, the greater the bargaining power. With the proposed improvements it can be noted that small strategic management decisions can make a project well executed or not.
