(1) The use of the CPM makes it easier to plan, schedule, and manage the sequence of work activities to complete a project on time. (2) The CPM requires a formal, detailed listing of all work related activities that make up the whole project. This requires you to visualize the project from start to finish, so you can estimate the amount of time and the resources required to complete each project activity. (ON SLIDE #9) (3) The CPM is also known by a few other general phrases. Regardless of which phrase is used, they represent the Critical Path Method. (a) Construction Management. (b) Project Planning and Scheduling. (c) Critical Path Analysis. (ON SLIDE #10) `b. Using the CPM for Planning: In military construction, the use of the CPM begins with planning. Planning is divided into two distinct stages: (ON SLIDE #11) (1) Preliminary Planning: Gives the engineer a quick overall picture of the assigned project and the capacity of the constructing unit to accomplish it. It serves as a guide to the detailed planning which follows. Preliminary planning includes: (a) Project site reconnaissance. (b) Preliminary material estimates. (c) Preliminary equipment estimations. (d) Procurement of critical items. (ON SLIDE #12) (2) Detailed Planning: Develops an accurate estimate of the work activities, materials, man-hours, and equipment required
