Project Management with CPM and PERT, Second Edition by Joseph J. Moder, Professor and Chairman, Department of Industrial Engineering and Systems Analysis, University of Miami, Coral Gables and Cecil R. Phillips, Manager of Textile Systems, Kurt Salmon Associates, Inc., Atlanta. 352 pages plus index; 170 illustrations; 6 x 9; Van Nostrand Reinhold; $14.95. Publication date: September, 1970.
The Second Edition of Project Management with CPM and PERT incorporates the most meaningful developments in theory and practice which have occurred since the publication of the first edition in 1964.
According to the authors, the new developments have tended to eliminate the practical distinctions between the original CPM and PERT techniques, evolving instead a body of knowledge that is common to both. Unfortunately, however, no single term has been accepted that describes the common discipline, so the authors continue to use the double name "CPM and PERT" along with "network methods," "critical path methods," and others.
Project Management with CPM and PERT is divided into two parts, Basic Topics and Advanced Topics. The five chapters of Part I comprise a complete course in the fundamentals of the planning and scheduling features of critical path methods, and include manual and computer methods of calculation. For more advanced users Part I may serve as an introduction to the more specialized topics of Part II. Beginning with a new Chapter 6, for example, the reader is exposed to the variety of networking schemes which have developed over the decade since the network methods were originally developed, and he may choose to adopt one other than the basic arrow scheme employed in Part I. Chapter 7 is also new and covers some of the esssential elements of critical path processing from the point of view of the computer programmer.
