A program for the construction of PERT flow charts

W. E. Howden *

Many applications of CPM and PERT techniques involve the laborious procedure of drawing and redrawing "networks" or "flow charts". The utility of a computer program that would automatically draw these flow charts is apparent. To be useful, PERT diagrams must be easy to read. In this program, events and activities that form a subnetwork are grouped together and the proximity of any two subnetworks reflects their interdependence. Events and activities in one subnetwork are not separated by the elements of another subnetwork. The horizontal axis of the diagram is a critical path along which the events may be time-scaled.
