SOME POSSIBLE PITFALLS IN THE DESIGN AND USE OF PERT NETWORKING,

Abstract

After a new management technique has been in use for some time, a body of critical literature appears which serves as a catalyst to the refinement and increased application of the technique; for example, consider the fields of motion and time study and standard cost accounting. In the case of the PERT system, for some reason or other, such a collection of introspective documentation has been slow in coming. The present article was prepared with the hope that it will contribute toward the evolutionary development and use of the PERT technique. The paper is intended to be diagnostic rather than prescriptive. (Author)
