PRECEDENCE

NETWORK (PN)
Introduction
 Precedence Network Analysis (PNA)
 Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM) or
 Activity-on-node Network.
 In CPM/PERT networks, activities are connected
according to the finish-to-start logic,

 A PN incorporates the concept of delays (lags) while


depicting the relationship of various start and finish
activities.

 The PN is best suited for planning complex


construction projects.

Job logic Constraints


logic
Job dependency logic arises from the
shows the sequence in restrain on start and
which the jobs or completion of
activities progress activities imposed due
to construction
process at site.

Multiple PDM relationships
Example.
 PN of raft foundation Code Description Dur
The various activities
involved in the raft A Excavation 4
construction are as B Blinding base 2
follows:
C Steel fabrication 5
Transportation of
D 1
rebar steel to site
Formwork setting
E and rebar fixing 3
Raft
F concreting 2
Forward Pass
 EST of starting activity = 0

 Activity A, Node – 1
 EST1 = 0

 EFT1 = EST1 + d1 = 0 + 4 = 4

 Activity B, Node – 2
 EST2 = EFT1 + delay = 4 + 2 = 6

 EFT2 = EST2 + d2 = 6 + 2 = 8
 Activity C, Node – 3
 EST3 = 0

 EFT3 = EST3 + d3 = 0 + 5 = 5

 Activity D, Node – 4
 EST4 = 5

 EFT4 = (EST4 + d4 ) or (EST2 + 1FS) Greater one

= (5 + 1) or (6 + 1) = 7 Compute

Draw a Precedence network and
analyze…
Is this a precedence network?
Why softwares are required?
………..to avoid tedious calculations
Repetitive Works Network
 The PNA technique can be usefully applied to
prepare the network plan of projects involving
repetitive works..
 Network for construction of subsequent rafts can be
easily developed as follows:

 Decide the order of priorities of construction of rafts.


 Plan each construction activity into a work-team with the
assigned manpower, equipment and other resources
required for its completion.
What we have learnt uptill now in Scheduling?

1. Network analysis
 CPM
 AOA
 AON ( Precedence)
 PERT

2. Resource leveling/ smoothening …..Resource constraint scheduling

3. Crashing CPM schedule for Cost / ….Cost/ time optimized scheduling


time optimization

4. Updating CPM network
