Abstract

Planning, organizing, scheduling, and managing the duties associated with a polio eradication effort is the goal of this research study. Such an endeavor is carried out using the program evaluation review technique method and the critical path method (CPM/PERT). The primary conclusions of this endeavor are as follows: Since activity C is not vital, there is only one critical path in the network. Of the six initiatives to stop the spread of polio, only one is not essential. A 35-day delay in that nonessential task wouldn’t impact on the project’s overall completion time. With a normal range of 28.66 days, the attempt to stop the spread of polio would be finished in 119.34 days if all goes according to plan.

Keywords: Critical Path Method; Project Evaluation Review Technique; Project Management tool
