6 Arrow Diagram With Example - PDF - Project Management

The document discusses arrow diagrams, which are used to determine the optimal sequence of tasks in a project. An arrow diagram shows each task as an arrow, with the tail indicating the start and the head indicating the end. It can be used to identify the critical path of a project. The document provides an example arrow diagram and explains the key components like activities, floats, crashing, and the critical path. It also mentions how arrow diagrams are one of the seven basic quality control tools.

What is an Arrow Diagram?


→ An arrow diagram is used to decide the best sequence of a process or event. In this
method, the activities are indicated by arrows.

→ This tool is used to decide the critical path.

→ Arrow Diagram is one of the most important parts of New 7 QC Tools (Seven
Management and Planning Tools).

→ It helps us for preparing the best schedule for our_project.

→ We can use this tool to identify the problems and provide the optimal and feasible
solution.

When we can use an Arrow Diagram?


→ We can use this tool - When we have a complex_project or process and we need to
make scheduling and monitoring those tasks.

→ Arrow_Diagram is used when we have a surety about the sequence and time taken by all

steps of the project or process.

→ If the scheduling of the_project is critical, and if we have a significant advantage of


early_project completion or if the_project is late then we have a severe impact at that time
we can use Arrow_Diagram.

Components of Arrow Diagram [CPM Method]


→ The Main Elements of the Arrow Diagram are mentioned below

→ A single arrow represents an activity to be performed.

→ The tail of the arrow shows the start of the_activity and the head of the arrow shows the
end of the_activity.

→ The length of the arrow shows the duration of the_activity.

→ The most common words that we use in the CPM_Method are explained below.

➨ Float (slack): The float or slack is the amount of time for that the activity can be delayed
without the project delay.

S
➨ Crashing: The crashing is the reduction in the duration of the_project.

➨ Critical_Activity: It is the activity with zero floats.

➨ Activity: The_activity represents the task and also shown by the arrow symbol.

➨ Dummy_Activity: A dummy_activity is represented by a dotted arrow and does not


consume any time & resource. M

➨ Critical_Path: A Critical_Path is the sequence of critical activities that form a continuous


path between the start of a project and the completion of the_project

➨ Forward Pass: The early start_time and early finish_time calculated by moving forward
through the

network.

➨ Backward Pass: The latest start_time and latest finish_time calculated by moving
backward through the network.

➨ Float_activity: It is the difference between its earliest start_time and latest start_time or
earliest finish_time and latest finish_time.

Example of Arrow Diagram


→ Refer to the below simple example of the arrow diagram
