Designing a Multi-Level Network System
Lalit K. Kapur · Journal of the Operational Research Society · 1978
This paper describes the design of a computer-based, multi-level network system. The system permits development of independent but related networks at the different levels of a project hierarchy. The level of detail of the activities and the time estimates can be specified by the project personnel at the different levels. The system requires inputs only at the most detailed (lowest) levels but produces various control reports at all the hierarchical levels. The process of time calculations and aggregation of progress data are briefly explained. The advantages and limitations of the system are also described.
