the most commonly used scheduling methods, including Gantt Charts and
the Critical Path Method (CPM).
1. Gantt Charts
Definition: Gantt charts are visual tools that represent a project schedule,
displaying tasks along a timeline. Each task is represented by a horizontal bar,
with the length of the bar indicating the duration of the task.
Key Features of Gantt Charts
• Task Duration: Clearly shows when each task begins and ends, making it
easy to understand the timeline.
• Task Overlap: Allows for visualization of overlapping tasks and
dependencies.
• Progress Tracking: Can indicate the progress of each task, helping to
identify delays or issues.

39
 Critical Path Method (CPM)

• Definition: CPM is a project management technique used to determine

the longest sequence of dependent tasks that must be completed on time
for the project to finish by its deadline. This sequence is known as the
"critical path."
Key Features:
• Task Dependencies: Identifies and illustrates dependencies between
tasks, highlighting which tasks must be completed before others can start.
• Time Estimation: Requires estimation of the duration of each task,
allowing for the calculation of total project duration.
• Benefits:
• Focus on Critical Tasks: Helps project managers identify which tasks are
critical to project completion and which have flexibility (float).
• Optimized Scheduling: Assists in optimizing the schedule by allowing for
resource allocation adjustments based on task importance.

40
 3. Other Scheduling Methods

a. PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique)

• Similar to CPM but incorporates uncertainty by using three time
estimates (optimistic, pessimistic, and most likely) for each task.
b. Resource Leveling
• A technique used to resolve resource conflicts by adjusting the
start and finish dates based on resource availability.
c. First Come, First Served (FCFS)
• A simple scheduling rule where tasks are processed in the order
they arrive, without regard for task priorities.
d. Shortest Processing Time (SPT)
• Prioritizes tasks based on the shortest processing time, helping to
minimize overall completion time.

41
 5.4 Job shop scheduling vs. flow shop
scheduling
• Job shop scheduling refers to a production environment where small batches of a
variety of products are manufactured. Each job may require different processing
steps, machines, and sequences, leading to a high degree of variability.
Characteristics
• Variety of Products: Job shops typically produce a wide range of products, often
customized to specific customer requirements.
• Flexible Layout: Equipment and workstations are organized in a way that allows
for flexibility in processing different jobs.
• Unpredictable Workflows: The flow of work is less predictable, with jobs moving
through the production process in various sequences.
• Scheduling Techniques
• Priority Rules: Jobs are scheduled based on priority rules such as Earliest Due
Date (EDD), Shortest Processing Time (SPT), or First Come, First Served (FCFS).
• Finite Capacity Scheduling: Takes into account the capacity of resources to avoid
overloading any particular machine or workstation

42
 CHAPTER 6. Engineering economics and Cost
analysis for manufacturing

• Engineering economics is a branch of economics that focuses on the

evaluation of the economic aspects of engineering projects and
manufacturing processes. Cost analysis is a critical component, helping
organizations make informed decisions regarding investments, production
processes, and resource allocation.
Key Concepts
Cost Classification
• Fixed Costs: Costs that do not change with the level of production (e.g.,
rent, salaries).
• Variable Costs: Costs that vary directly with production volume (e.g., raw
materials, direct labor).
• Total Cost: The sum of fixed and variable costs.
• Marginal Cost: The cost of producing one additional unit.

43
 Cost Estimation
• Direct Costs: Costs directly attributable to a product (e.g., materials,
labor).
• Indirect Costs: Costs not directly linked to a specific product (e.g., utilities,
administrative expenses).
• Methods:
• Analogous Estimating: Using historical data from similar projects.
• Parametric Estimating: Using statistical relationships between
historical data and other variables.
• Break-Even Analysis
• A method to determine the production level at which total revenues equal
total costs, resulting in neither profit nor loss.

44
 Example on the BEP
.

45
 Time Value of Money

• The principle that money available today is worth

more than the same amount in the future due to its
potential earning capacity.
• Present Value (PV) and Future Value (FV)
calculations are essential for comparing cash flows
over time.
• Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA)
• A systematic approach to estimating the strengths and
weaknesses of alternatives.
• Compares the total expected costs against the total expected
benefits to assess the feasibility of a project.

46
 Return on Investment (ROI)

• A performance measure used to evaluate the

efficiency of an investment.
• Formula:
Example: Calculating ROI for a New Machine
Scenario: A manufacturing company is considering purchasing a new machine to
improve production efficiency.
Details of the Investment
 Cost of the Machine: $100,000
 Expected Annual Revenue Increase: $40,000
 Expected Annual Operating Costs: $10,000 (includes maintenance, labor,
etc.)
 Useful Life of the Machine: 5 years

47
The ROI for the new machine investment is 150%. This means that over its useful life, the
investment will generate a return that is 1.5 times the initial cost of the machine.
