Topic 6 (Gantt Chart)

The document discusses Gantt charts, which are bar charts that illustrate a project schedule and the phases and activities of a project breakdown structure. It describes the characteristics and components of a Gantt chart, including tasks, durations, precedence relationships, and critical paths. Steps for constructing a Gantt chart are provided, such as scheduling critical and non-critical tasks, indicating time windows, and showing precedence relationships between tasks.

Gantt Chart
 A GANTT chart is a type of bar chart that illustrates a project schedule.

 GANTT charts have become a common technique for representing the phases and activities
of a project work breakdown structure.

 It was introduced by Henry Gantt around 1910 – 1915.


Gantt Chart (cont.)
 Characteristics:
• The bar in each row identifies the corresponding task.

• The horizontal position of the bar identifies start and end times of the task.

• Bar length represents the duration of the task.

• Task durations can be compared easily.

• Good for allocating resources and re-scheduling.

• Precedence relationships can be represented using arrows.

• Critical activities are usually highlighted.

• Slack times are represented using bars with doted lines.

• The bar of each activity begins at the activity earliest start time (ES).

• The bar of each activity ends at the activity latest finish time (LF).

Advantages: Disadvantages:
• Simple. • Dependencies are more difficult to
visualise.
• Good visual communication to others.
• Minor changes in data can cause major
• Task durations can be compared easily. changes in the chart.

• Good for scheduling resources.


Constructing Gantt Chart
 The steps to construct a GANTT chart from the information obtained are:
1. Schedule the critical tasks in the correct position.

2. Place the time windows in which the non-critical tasks can be scheduled.

3. Schedule the non-critical tasks according to their earliest starting times.

4. Indicate precedence relationships between tasks.
