ABSTRACT:
A control system for the production of a product or for a project. A primary project control computer oversees a plurality of secondary computers which manage each activity in the project. The system uses baseline schedule dates and measures variances to these dates. Resources are allocated based on the variances to minimize time and cost. Activity variance goals are individually assigned to each activity which is an improvement over the previous project-wide single goal method. An individual additional cost threshold may also be assigned to each activity.
