Maslows theory of Human NeedsS According to him humans have 5 needs According to him humans have 5 needs 1. Physiological needs 2. Safety needs 3. Affiliation or acceptance needs 4. Esteem needs 5. Self-actualisation needs

Douglas McGregors Theory X and Theory Y Theory X: Assumptions 1. Employees are lazy 2. They require constant guidance and support 3. Some times they require even coersion and control 4. Given an opportunity they would like to avoid responsibility 5. They do not show any ambition but always seak security

Theory Y Assumptions: 1. Some employees consider work as natural as play as rest 2. They employees are capable of directing and controlling performance on their own. They are much committed to objectives of the organization. 3. Higher rewards make these employees more committed to organization. 4. Most of them are highly imaginative, creative, and display ingenuity in handling organizational issues. 5. Give an opportunity, they not only accept responsibility but also look for opportunities to out perform others.

118 Critical Path A path is a sequence of connected activities running from the start to the end node in a network A path is a sequence of connected activities running from the start to the end node in a network The critical path is the path with the longest duration in the network The critical path is the path with the longest duration in the network A project cannot be completed in less than the time of the critical path (under normal circumstances) A project cannot be completed in less than the time of the critical path (under normal circumstances)

119 All Possible Paths path1: = 9 months; the critical path path2: = 8 months path3: = 8 months path4: = 7 months

120 Early Times (House building example) ES - earliest time activity can start ES - earliest time activity can start Forward pass starts at beginning of network to determine ES times Forward pass starts at beginning of network to determine ES times EF = ES + activity time EF = ES + activity time ES ij = maximum (EF i )ES ij = maximum (EF i ) EF ij = ES ij + t ijEF ij = ES ij + t ij ES 12 = 0ES 12 = 0 EF 12 = ES 12 + t 12 = = 3 monthsEF 12 = ES 12 + t 12 = = 3 months i j

125 Activity Slack Slack is defined as the LS-ES or LF- EF Slack is defined as the LS-ES or LF- EF Activities on critical path have ES = LS & EF = LF (slack is 0) Activities on critical path have ES = LS & EF = LF (slack is 0) Activities not on critical path have slack Activities not on critical path have slack S ij = LS ij - ES ij S ij = LS ij - ES ij S ij = LF ij - EF ijS ij = LF ij - EF ij S 24 = LS 24 - ES 24 = = 1 monthS 24 = LS 24 - ES 24 = = 1 month

126 Total slack/float or Slack of an activity Total slack/ float means the amount of time that an activity can be delayed without affecting the entire project completion time. Total slack/ float means the amount of time that an activity can be delayed without affecting the entire project completion time. The activity on a given path share the maximum possible slack of the activity along that path according to its share. The activity on a given path share the maximum possible slack of the activity along that path according to its share. Sum of the possible slacks of the activities can not exceed the maximum slack along that path. Sum of the possible slacks of the activities can not exceed the maximum slack along that path.

127 Free slack of an activity This is the maximum possible delay of an activity which does not affect its immediate successors. This is the maximum possible delay of an activity which does not affect its immediate successors. This is evaluated as This is evaluated as FS ij = ES j – EF ij FS ij = ES j – EF ij
