Abstract

Development of process planning methods is an important research area. Product development planning takes into consideration lead-times of tasks and activities, bill of materials, quality plans, and risk analysis. Production process planning can be supported by graph theory. Methods such as CPM, PERT, GERT are useful in product development planning. In this article, a methodology of risk identification and assessment is combined with the GERT method.
