Master a method that speeds up project planning and cuts costs.

This book presents Decision CPM, a framework for planning, scheduling, and controlling complex projects. It shows how to model tasks, alternatives, and interdependencies, then solve for the best plan that meets a due date and costs.

The text frames a practical approach for construction-type projects, where decisions can be revisited as work proceeds. It covers how to collect progress data, adjust plans, and use different solution techniques for large problems. Real‑world examples illustrate how dynamic monitoring and redesign can lead to savings and better control.

Learn how to model tasks, costs, times, and crashing options in a single planning graph
See how regular updates of progress can yield new, better plans
Explore solution methods from exact algorithms to heuristic techniques
Understand how due dates and penalties influence decision making in the schedule

Ideal for readers of construction management, operations research, and project scheduling who want a practical, repeatable method for smarter decisions throughout a project’s life cycle.
