b) Program Evaluation Review Technique (PERT)

· It is a flow chart, which represents relationship or connection between tasks to be
done and project’s job arrangement, in diagram form. PERT chart refers to the boxes,
circles, and arrows network that are linked together. Each box represents the activity or task to be executed. Arrows or straight lines are used to show the relation between activities.

· There are three main components of PERT chart namely the event, activity and nonactivity.

a) Event – usually drawn as a circle or rectangle in a flow chart. Example: graphic
has been created.

b) Activity – is a process done to finish an event. It is drawn as arrows or straight
lines in a flow chart. Example: audio recording process.

c) Non-activity – marked as a dotted line presenting no work is taking place.
· Via PERT chart, activity implementation’s duration is countable and easily showed
because each activity is stated with its starting and finishing date. This technique can help the management people to take reasonable steps and plan to ensure smooth
project flow in conjunction to the chart itself conveys detail graphical information.
