Engineering 25 Monte Carlovs. PERTTutorial Bruce Mayer, PE Registered Electrical & Mechanical EngineerBMayer@ChabotCollege.edu
NO Time Machines Allowed • In the Lecture on Monte Carlo Methods we allowed NEGATIVES in the Simulation • Someone might point out that no matter how hard we work we can not MAKE time • We can only USE it! • ReDo the simulation withOUT negative Times
2 1. Project Start 1. Project End 4 5 6 7 3 Recall WhareHouse PERT chart A B E F G H D C • The Schedule Elements • Install PreCast Parts on Foundation • Build Roof • Finish Interior and Exterior • Inspect Result • Excavate Foundation • Construct Foundation • Fabricate PreCast Components • Ship PreCast Parts to Building Site
Possibility of Negative Times • A Small MeanDuration:StdDev ratio indicates a higher probability of NEGATIVE duration
Expected Standard Deviation • Find the Expected Standard Deviation by Geometric (or Pythagorean) Calculation • In This case take the Std Dev from the GATING item A+B to find:
Compare Lack of Time Machine • Review and Run Files: • Monte_Carlo_Wharehouse.m • Can MAKE time • Monte_Carlo_Wharehouse_No_Negatives.m • Can NOT make time A “Flux Capacitor”
