2 Precedence agrammng S ctvty I LS T L n mportant extenson to the orgnal actvty-on-node concept appeared around 14. The sole relatonshp used n PRT/PM network s fnsh to start type of dependency, wth s =. Precedence dagrammng ncludes precedence relatonshps among the actvtes. In ddton, one may specfy a lag tme assocated wth any of the precedence relatonshps, whch can be used to account for overlappng tmes among actvtes. The computaton of actvty tmes (publshed n 173) s more complex than ON.

3 Lag / Lead Tmes In many cases, there s a delay between the completon of one actvty and the start of another followng or there s a need to show that one actvty wll overlap another n some fashon. successor "lags" a predecessor, but a predecessor "leads" a successor. Lag tme can be desgnated on a dependency lne wth a postve, negatve, or zero value. Lmtatons and sadvantages of Lag: Lag would complcate the schedulng process. Lags are not extensvely used except where the tme effects are substantal for specal proect type. S ctvty I LS T L

Lag s always appled to SS relaton. 2. nsh-to-nsh ( ) [() cannot fnsh tll () fnshes] IJ s equal to the mnmum number of tme unts that must reman to be completed on the successor () after the completon of the predecessor ().

It s tme-consumng and requres resources, but ts duraton s controlled, not by ts own nature, but by the two actvtes between whch t spans. Its S and LS tmes are determned by the actvty where t begns and ts and L tmes are dctated by the actvty at ts concluson. xamples: ewaterng, Haul road mantenance
