Program evaluation and review techniques (PERT) is an efficient tool for large project management. In actual project control decisions, PERT has successfully been applied to business management, industry production, project scheduling control, logistics support, etc. However, classical PERT requires a crisp duration time representation for each activity. This requirement is often difficult for ...

In this paper, we describe how a stochastic PERT network can be formulated as a Bayesian network. We approximate such PERT Bayesian network by mixtures of Gaussians hybrid Bayesian networks. Since there exists algorithms for solving mixtures of Gaussians hybrid Bayesian networks exactly, we can use these algorithms to make inferences in PERT Bayesian networks.

in this research, both resource allocation and reactive resource allocation problems in multi-server dynamic pert networks are analytically modeled, where new projects are expected to arrive according to a poisson process, and activity durations are also known as independent random variables with exponential distributions. such system is represented as a queuing network, where multi servers at ...

This investigation presents a heuristic method for consumable resource allocation problem in multi-class dynamic Project Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) networks, where new projects from different classes (types) arrive to system according to independent Poisson processes with different arrival rates. Each activity of any project is operated at a devoted service station located in a n...

The GÉANT2 project established a Performance Enhancement and Response Team (PERT) process [1] in 2004 to assist network users in troubleshooting network performance issues and provide information on how to optimize network performance. This paper presents a summary and conclusions of a PERT case where the aim was to transfer data from an eVLBI radio telescope in Chile to the Netherlands across ...

In 2006, the US FDA issued a 'Guidance for Industry' regarding submission of New Drug Applications for pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) products. Five oral delayed-release PERT products have been approved by the FDA, and several others are under development and/ or evaluation for New Drug Application submission. We present in this paper recommendations of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundat...

Adapting a Delay-based Protocol to Heterogeneous Environments. (August 2008) Kiran Kotla, B.E., Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, India Co–Chairs of Advisory Committee: Dr A. L. Narasimha Reddy Dr Riccardo Bettati We investigate the issues in making a delay-based protocol adaptive to heterogeneous environments. We assess and address the problems a delay-based protocol faces whe...

Project scheduling based on probabilistic methods commonly uses the Program Evaluation Review Technique (PERT). However, practitioners do not widely utilize PERT-based due to difficulty in obtaining historical data for similar projects. PERT has several drawbacks, such as inability update activity dura- tions real time. In reality, changes project conditions related resources have a highly dyna...
