Management operation system techniques (MOST) replaces PERT and CPM in construction scheduling
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
The Management Operation System Technique (MOST) invented in 1961, replaces PERT and CPM on construction projects and in program management. Since its inception, MOST has gained popularity and is now widely used in both large and small construction projects. Its use has been equally effective on projects ranging from several thousand dollars to $193 million so far. It is a combination of several traditional and modern planning techniques like bar chart, Gantt chart, CPM and PERT. The advantages of these have been extracted and disadvantages have been eliminated. Few of the advantages are: it is very helpful for repetitive works in both real and infrastructure projects and uses backward integration which helps in knowing the ground realities very easily. It gives the project manager visibility and identifies potential trouble areas requiring management action. This paper deals with application of MOST for construction activities of a 25 Kms Road project and drawing of MOST schedules. In the end the limitations of MOST are mentioned
