Adaptation of the "Critical Path" Scheduling (CPS) technique and use of the Computer Facility have led to development of a more rapid and accurate method of evaluating and leveling ORGDP Maintenance man-power requirements. CPS is applied to multi-craft performance of short duration jobs after pre-selection of calendar time duration and specific limitations on the number of personnel and crafts involved. Developed schedules and supplementary data forms provide: 1) an efficient foreman's guide and check of work performance, 2) a versatile and rapid means of evaluating and improving present scheduling practices, and 3) a basis for job study, simplification, and subsequent maintenance job cost reduction. Trial application of CPS for special maintenance work resulted in a 19.5% reduction of job labor costs. lt is anticipated that further CPS application will reduce job labor costs as much as 30%.
