OSTI ID:6168060
Availability of low cost hardware and software within the past few years has made the Personal Computer a powerful tool for Project Management. Project managers very effectively apply word processing, cost accounting spreadsheets, and data management software to make their jobs easier. An important aspect of personal computers lies in their ability to improve productivity of the project design team. Project information can now be gathered, stored, and presented in a more useful form. Direct benefits are the detecting of cost overruns and scheduling problems through improved data analysis. This paper will discuss the use of Personal Computers in cost analysis, planning, tracking, and controlling instrumentation projects. Practical applications will be discussed and the advantages and disadvantages of available software will be reviewed.
