LESSON 2 – MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS
1. PLANNING
Setting up of goals, objectives
& targets of an organization or
a construction project.
Padernal & Coronel

organizational structure, functional
chart and a positional chart – all
aimed at realizing the established
objectives & targets of a project.

LESSON 2 – MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS
2. ORGANIZING
Sets the activities required to attain the goal,
sorts & group them systematically. It assigns the
groups to those responsible to carry them out and
who are delegated with authority. A structure is
thereby established which defines authority,
relationships, and internal coordination. The
authority referred to is the power granted to the
manager or supervisor. In a project, this must be
exercised decisively but prudently.
WHOSE JOB IS IT
This is a story about four people named
Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and
Everybody was asked to do it. Everybody was
sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have
done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry
about that, because it was everybody's job.
Everybody thought Anybody could do it but
Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. It
ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when
Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
LESSON 2 – MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS
3. STAFFING
Deals with the recruitment and
development of competent
employees through a process of
evaluation, selection, placement
and human resource development
(includes setting up of training
programs and benefit schemes)
LESSON 2 – MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS
4. DIRECTING
Providing instructions to lower level
personnel, communicating the work to be
done particularly, leading the tasks required in
a project, and monitoring people to work
efficiently and effectively.
Involves guiding & assigning those delegated
with authority and who are responsible for
the different activities or the entire project.
Communications, oral or written, are
maintained vertically & horizontally in the
organization to facilitate their functions.
LESSON 2 – MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS
5. CONTROLLING
Is a function performed by middle and top-
level project engineers and managers. They
measure accomplishments according to set
targets. They check personnel productivity
and examine the quality of work. If there
are deviations, appropriate corrective
actions are recommended and verified
thereafter if such were followed after a
reasonable period of time.
LESSON 2 – MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS
5. CONTROLLING
Is a process that is continuously maintained
to adopt the plan of work to the actual
demands of the situation. Monitoring of the
work is an inherent part of this function. It is
meant to get a good picture of how the
work is progressing in the proper course
and schedule. In case the need arises,
corrective measures are applied on time.
LESSON 1 – MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS
6. REPORTING
Deals with the periodic preparation of
required reports for submission to higher
authorities and to the project owner. If
financing was secured, copies of the reports
should likewise be given to financial or
lending institution for variation. Forms
depicting all pertinent information are
developed and subsequently accomplished.
LESSON 1 – MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS
8. COORDINATING
This function of Management involves formal
meetings including planning sessions, project
coordination, consultation and problem
solving meetings. It is the venue to
communicate the project participant’s views,
positions and opinions. After productive
deliberations, decisions are made and
participants agree on course of actions to
take.
LESSON 2 – MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS
8. REVIEWING
A project is reviewed in a holistic manner when it
is 95% completed or after completion –
depending on the agreement of project
participants. The whole process of Project
Management or Construction Management,
especially its results, is once more reviewed prior
to project turnover. This ensures that all aspects
are covered, desired objectives and targets are
achieved and all problems are solved.

Bridge in the USA was one of the worst
ever engineering feats.In high winds its
deck swings up & down in giant high
waves. The bridge was intended to
withstand winds of 190 kph (120 mph).
Four months after it opened though, it
collapsed in winds of 67 kph (42 mph)

BAR CHART
One of the earliest tools for planning &
scheduling. Developed by Henry Lawrence Gantt.
Thus sometimes called the GANTT CHART. The
BAR CHART is clear, concise, and easy to prepare.
Most important is, it is so simple to understand. It
shows the activities and graphically depicts their
starts & finishes. However, information you get
from the BAR CHART is limited compared with
other management tools like the PERT/CPM
diagram.

PERT/CPM
Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)
– Developed to manage the Polaris-Submarine
weapon system and the Fleet Ballistic Missile
capability project of the NAVY. A statistical
technique for measuring and forecasting progress
in research and development programs, it is
applied as a decision-making tool designed to
save time in achieving end-objectives.
PERT/CPM
LESSON 5 – MANAGEMENT TOOLS
PERT/CPM
Critical Path Method (CPM) – Developed to
coordinate maintenance projects in the chemical
industry, the most widely used scheduling
technique for scheduling. Often referred to as
critical path scheduling, This method calculates
the minimum completion time for a project along
with the possible start and finish times for the
project activities. The critical path itself
represents the set or sequence of
predecessor/successor activities which will take
the longest time to complete. PERT/CPM

PERT/CPM
LESSON 5 – MANAGEMENT TOOLS
Determining the Critical Path
For fairly simple projects, the critical path is usually
the longest path through the project.
For projects with several parallel and interlinked
activities, this may not always be the case.
For more complicated projects, the critical path can
be determined with an ‘earliest time’ forward sweep
through the diagram followed by a ‘latest time’
reverse sweep.
PERT/CPM
LESSON 5– MANAGEMENT TOOLS
Determining the Critical Path
The EARLIEST starting time of each activity is associated
with the events. It corresponds to the longest time of any
path from any previous event.

LESSON 5– MANAGEMENT TOOLS
Determining the Critical Path
The CRITICAL PATH is the path along which the earliest
time and latest time are the same for all events, and the
early start time plus activity time for any activity equals the
early start time of the next activity.

This project cannot be completed in less than 9 weeks
given the expected duration of the activities.
However, activities B & D could be delayed or extended by
up to 2 weeks each without affecting the minimum project
completion time. This is termed ‘float’ or ‘slack’ time.
