MAPS - A Computerized Management Analysis and Planning System

Abstract

MAPS provides managers of large technical projects with a fast and economical information system for planning and controlling their projects. The program in the simplest terms is a computerized bar-chart schedule-reporting system in which project elements at all levels can be listed. MAPS has been specifically designed for planning and scheduling engineering project work; however, its flexible format capability permits a variety of other uses such as parts lists, configuration control, drawing lists, manpower and budget planning, and organization charts. MAPS utilizes a computer; however, it is not essential for the user to know computer programming in order to operate MAPS. An annotated listing of the FORTRAN program is included as an appendix.
