Abstract
Manufacturing project management is the process of managing, allocating, and timing resources to achieve a production goal in an efficient and expedient manner. The objectives that constitute the specified goal may be in terms of time, costs, or performance. A project can be simple, such as cooking dinner, or very complex, such as launching a space shuttle. Project management techniques are used widely in many enterprises including construction, banking, manufacturing, marketing, health care services, and public services (Badiru, 1988a; Gill and Whitman, 1991). Project management uses a combination of analytical, managerial, and computer tools to address the following:
-
Performance specifications;
-
Schedule requirements; and
-
Cost limitations.
