Chapter 15 Construction Scheduling 263
Computer-Aided Scheduling
The use of computer-aided scheduling software has made preparing both bar charts
and CPM networks much easier than it was in the past. The construction manager inputs
information about each task involved in the project and the computer generates either a bar
chart or a CPM network. The completed schedule can be printed or sent via e-mail to those
who need a copy.
Once work begins, the chart or network is routinely updated by entering current progress
on various jobs. CPM software recalculates the critical path, taking into account the actual
time required to complete finished tasks. Reports are produced that identify problems and
summarize cost.
While it is possible to prepare both bar charts and CPM networks manually, computers
save a lot of time. Frequent updating of the schedule as work progresses makes the computer
even more valuable.
