Planning & Scheduling Systems: From Design to Fabrication

Lesson Objectives Upon completion of this lesson, students will be able to: Define Flow Chart and Gantt Chart Identify uses for a Flow Chart and Gantt Chart Read a Flow Chart & Gantt Chart Create a Flow Chart and Gantt Chart for a simple process

What Is a Flow Chart? Graphical Organizer Used to show how a System Process will be completed Divides tasks to be completed into different categories Actions, Decisions, Queues Breaks the large process down into small sections

Why do we use Flow Charts Monitor the Inputs, Resources, Outputs & Feedback associated with a system process Easily identify how an action item fits into the process of the system Increase Efficiency

Flow Chart Components- Leaders Shows direction of movement Leaders do not cross

Flow Chart Components- Start/End Clearly OVAL in shape Indicate where a process starts and ends Start oval can also name the process being performed START END

Flow Chart Components- Action Box Indicates an action will take place Brief description of action is written inside One leader line in, one leader line out ACTION

Flow Chart Components- Decision Box Indicates where a decision must be made At least two leaders must leave the box, to indicate what happens based on the decision made DECISION BOX

Flow Chart Components- Queue Indicate where a input is taken from, or where an output is stockpiled Should clearly be drawn as a circle Leaders can lead to a Queue, from a Queue, or both QUEUE

Charting out Tasks, Responsibilities, & Completion Times

Scheduling A Way of keeping tasks on track using Process Resource of Time as the guideline When actions should occur How long an action should take to complete How long a process will take to complete Who is responsible for the task to complete What would happen on an automobile assembly line if: the tires were scheduled to be put together backwards? One process gets done in half the time of another? The person that normally does a job is sick and someone else needs to fill in?

Pre-Assessment Who has heard of a Gantt Chart? What do you think a Gantt Chart is? Or what is a Gantt Chart? Have you used a Gantt Chart to plan and carry out projects?

Experiences with “Group” Projects How did the project & experience go? Was it easy to split up tasks for the project? Did you have and stick with timelines Was it easy to coordinate the tasks? Was it easy to express the tasks & deadlines? Were any techniques used to help make the project flow smoothly? Wish there was a “better” way?

History of the Gantt Chart Created by Laurence Gantt ( ) Mechanical Engineering, Management Consultant, & Industry Advisor Visual tool of scheduled and actual time on project Innovative practice of its time Accepted & common practice today Used on historical construction projects Hoover Dam (1931) Interstate Highway System (1956)

Where are Gantt Charts used? Design & Engineering Projects Construction Projects Manufacturing Projects Transportation Projects Event Organization Class Projects Individual & Team

Gantt Chart Overview Useful tool for planning and scheduling projects Graphically represents the duration of a task Monitors the progress of the entire project

Advantages of Gantt Chart Planning & Scheduling Assess how long a project should take Lays out the order in which tasks need to be completed Helps manage the dependent variables of the project Monitoring a Project Able to see what should be done at any point Shows how different actions could bring project back on track

Disadvantages of Gantt Charts May become confusing if more than 30 tasks are presented in a project Does not represent the size of the project or the relative size of the tasks

Evolution of the Gantt Chart Basic Gantt Chart

Evolution of the Gantt Chart “Fill in the Bar” method to show project benchmarks and completion times

Sequential & Parallel Activities Sequential Activities dependent on other tasks to be completed first Example: Must design before you build aka “Linear” Parallel Not dependent on other tasks being completed first May be done at any stage of the project aka “Nondependent”

Steps to Creating a Gantt Chart 1) List all activities in the plan 2) Head up graph paper with the time through to task completion 3) Plot the tasks on the graph paper 4) Schedule activities/tasks 5) Monitor the progress of the project

1) List all activities in the plan Earliest start date Estimated length of time it may take to complete Sequential or Parallel activity Show which tasks are sequential to the other

Step 1: List All Activities Example TaskPossible StartLengthTypeDependent on… 1. High level analysis week 15 daysSequential 2. Selection of hardware platform Week11 daySequential1 3. Install and commission hardware Week32 weeksParallel2 4.Detailed analysis of core modules Week12 weeksSequential1 5. Detailed analysis of supporting utilities Week12weeksSequential4

2) Head Paper with Time through Task Completion Insert the time on the top of the graph paper Years Months Weeks Days Hours Minutes Seconds

3) Plot the Tasks on the Graph Paper Insert the task on the Gantt Chart Within Chart Not Recommended Category at start of chart Recommended Generate a bar the length of the task

4) Schedule Activities Schedule activities so that sequential actions are carried out in the required sequence Where possible, schedule parallel tasks so that they do not interfere with sequential actions Allow some time for holdups, overruns…

5) Monitor the Progress of the Project

Checking your Understanding What are some benefits to using a Gantt Chart? What projects would you use a Gantt Chart on? What is the difference between Sequential and Parallel tasks?

Checking for Understanding It is Report Date #6 What is the team behind schedule on? What is the team ahead of schedule on? What task will be beginning this date?

Assignment: Flow & Gantt Chart As an individual, you will develop an electronic Flow Chart and Gantt Chart for a simple task, Brushing Your Teeth. Flow Charts can be made in programs such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft PowerPoint Other programs available, but those listed are easily accessible from the school’s network Gantt Charts can be made using Microsoft Excel

Helpful Information Start by identifying all the needs to brush your teeth Materials Equipment Labor Process to complete objective Sounds a lot like a Systems model… Plug information in where most likely to be used and Flow away! Gantt Chart developed based on Flow Chart
