Abstract: Every one of us is a manager of projects of our own life. From a house wife to an employee to money expert, from banker
to doctor, from engineer to manager from a teacher to a student, we all work on different tasks with deadlines. (without any concern
about / having nothing to do with ) our occupation, normal behaviors , or location in an organization, we all work on tasks that are
mixed and involve people who do not usually work together. The project may have a simple goals that does not require many people or
a great deal of money or it may be quite complex, calling for (many different kind of people or thing) skills and huge amount of useful
thing’s/valuable supplies. But the bottom line is that every one of us manages projects. Because of this the purpose of dealing with the
project should not be only execution but effective and (producing a lot of waste ) execution of project is extremely important. Which is
needed to be highlighted? Construction Firms in India, Construct the Projects in a Traditional ways, this sometimes proves Expensive
& tiring & Boring too. Traditional way also proves to be Time Using/ Eating/ Drinking, and Confusing. The presented work will
provide them an Opportunity to clearly watch/ notice/ celebrate/ obey the difference between the Microsoft Project (MSP) and the
Traditional Planning ways of doing thing. which speeds up Construction and also make the Project Cost Effective with Proper
Planning with the help of the case study on the single wing of project executed in Pune, Maharashtra, India. For finding out different
aspects that proves (producing a very little waste) planning & execution of the project, very different ways of doing things ) adopted
and to find out (education that fix something) measures, international journal papers were referred. Ways of doing thing. adopted
includes defining of problem statement, hinting about something bad the goals from the data collected in two part that is first ( or most
important ) data and Secondary , carefully studying the data and finally coming to the end/end result.
7. Problem Statement
Nowadays, almost every construction industry in India is
experiencing delay problem. The problem occurs from
various reasons; the extensive sources are caused by the
construction activity which has been executed not according
to planning and scheduling efficiently decided before actual
execution of the project. Apparently, contractor will require
time extension to accomplish the project.
10.3 Scheduling
10.2 Calendar
Scheduling with Gantt Charts and WBS
The Project calendar is basically used to establish the days
Gantt charts are a special type of view that are used
and time for which the project will run. It also helps in
extensively in project management. In MSP, the left side of
establishing and assigning tasks to particular days. It also
the Gantt chart contains a sheet view, and the right side
helps in assigning in resources to particular tasks for the
contains a bar graph along a timescale. In msp, the Gantt
respective days. So, by looking at the project calendar, one
chart is developed depending upon the duration we enter for
can clearly tell that on which days the organization or the
respective task and how to efficiently establish task
construction company will be working on its project and on
dependencies. As we refine the durations, link tasks, and
which day no work will be going on. MS Project 2010 has
possibly enter date constraints or assign recourses, Project
basically three base calendars. So for setting a base calendar
2010 calculate schedule to reflect those controls
for any project, any of the three base calendar decided by
automatically scheduled task are marked with the Gantt bar
MSP 2010 can be chosen or own base calendar can also be
icon in the task
created. A base calendar can be defined as a calendar
template that can be applied to a set of resources, a set of
tasks, or the project as a whole.
