ABSTRACT
The purpose of this chapter is to examine bar chart scheduling technique. A bar chart structure will be defined first, followed by the description of the logical steps taken in developing a bar chart. The development and application of method statements, which serve the purpose of recording planning information for future use, will be examined next, followed by a brief discussion on limitations of traditional, unlinked bar charts. The importance of activity links in bar charts will be emphasised. Finally, the use of bar charts will be demonstrated on a simple example.
