Assignment Help Business Management
Reference no: EM131273279

Directions:

The unit textbook concepts for our discussion for this unit are

  • Project Management using network diagrams (PERT and CPM) in Operations.
  • Finding and using the Critical Path in network diagrams in Operations.
  • Reducing the project completion time (crashing) in Operations.
  • Application of the Gantt Chart in Operations projects.
  • The Project life cycle in Operations projects.

Notice that all of these topics refer to projects in the Operations function of a business, to manufacture a product or create a service.  We all know that project management is used in all of the business functions, such as in marketing research or financial planning, but for the discussion in this unit please focus on Operations examples and articles.

Select one of these concepts and find a current related article that describes it at Project News Today:  https://projectnewstoday.com/project-management-articles/ (Links to an external site.) , Project Management World: https://pmworldjournal.net/ (Links to an external site.) or the Wall Street Journal: www.wsj.com (Links to an external site.) (you can use the Wall Street Journal every unit in this course).

You'll find one (or several current articles) to analyze.  Remember to focus upon your selected operations concept in your analysis.
