Event-Centered Scheduling Program: The Need for PERT (Program Evaluation Review Technique) in C-141 ISO Inspection Management

Abstract

Scheduled inspections, specifically the C-141 Isochronal Major, consume a significant amount of time as currently managed. The study proposes that Program Evaluation Review Technique (PERT) methods be applied to this flow management process to produce optimized inspection flow plans. Harvard Total Project Manager (HTPM) software is used to build an optimized flow which demonstrates the potential for flow day savings if attention is shifted from scheduling within a block of time to resequencing of events. The study concludes that current desktop project planning software can be integrated into the ISO flow management process.
