This project management construction online course will teach how to use: The bar chart Precedence diagramming The arrow diagram The critical path Using networks Using the project schedule Maintaining the project schedule Applying the project scheduleIn this project management construction online course\, students will learn how to plan\, prepare and update construction project schedules. We will study construction planning and will practice preparing a project plan.Through the use of case studies\, we will show you how to define construction activities\, determine activity duration\, and assemble the activities into a logical construction schedule. Also\, we will learn to create and use bar charts and critical path schedules.Methods for communication of the project plan will be applied in workshop-type activities. We will study the use of software in construction scheduling and investigate some of the popular scheduling programs currently in use. Other topics to be studied will include: assigning constraints\, inputting resources\, formatting options\, sorting and filtering. Updating the schedule and the use of short interval production schedules will be stressed. Applying scheduling information to change orders\, payment schedules and acceleration situations will be studied.Learning Objectives: Become familiar with the process of project planning and the efficiencies derived from planningKnow how to sequence the activities for logical project flowBe able to prepare a bar chart schedule and use it properlyBe familiar computerized scheduling and understand both its limitations and advantagesUnderstand what resources are and how they can be coordinated with the scheduleBe able to apply methods for monitoring\, comparing and updating the project scheduleLearn about schedule acceleration methods and how to apply themBe able to define schedule activities and assign reasonable durations to the activitiesBe able to prepare a short procurement scheduleLearn about schedule float and understand how float can be used to delay or lengthen activities and to smooth manpower requirementsBe able to apply constraints\, sorts and filters to a computer generated scheduleKnow how to use the schedule as a resource for crew and manpower assignmentsUnderstand how to use the short-term schedule as a communication toolLearn how the schedule is used as documentation for changes and disputesIt is important that the student keep up with the class and not fall behind.
