The emergence of network planning technology has only been more than 20 years. In the past 20 years, it has been popularized in many countries, applied in many aspects, and developed rapidly.In particular, its combination with computers has brought a broader future for its application and development.At present, for the positive network planning method, it has been relatively mature, not only has an effective calculation method, but also has established a shaped computer software system (software package), which is not only increasingly mature in application methods,And from the very beginning, it was combined with mathematical planning theory (only because the calculation using mathematical planning method was too tedious, it was not carried out in this regard).However, in terms of practical application, it is also necessary to sum up experience to form regular things and explore new optimization methods in terms of how to prepare the network diagram, how to simplify the network diagram, and how to optimize the combination with resources and costs.
As for non stereotypingWebsite DesignThe planning method used to understand its uncertainty (uncertainty) from the perspective of randomness.In recent years, both at home and abroad (mainly in Eastern Europe), uncertainty has begun to be seen from the perspective of fuzziness. This book has made some preliminary introduction in Chapter 5.It is worth paying attention to the development of using fuzzy sets and possibility theory instead of probability theory to study networks.The emergence of probabilistic network has opened a new way for network planning technology. Although it can not be widely used as Ken finalized network so far due to various reasons, it has the ability to deal with all kinds of planning and scheduling problems with random factors. In the near future, it will have a wide range of applications.In addition to GERT-S and Q-GERT, there will also be new developments in principles and methods.
The combination of network planning method and other methods (such as mathematical planning method in resource allocation, sequencing method in scheduling, various methods in stochastic service system theory) to solve comprehensive problems is one of the important directions of future development.Although some progress has been made in the development and promotion of the general-purpose network planning software system (software package), it is still far from the actual needs. For example, the problem of how to display or draw network graphics cannot be said to be solved satisfactorily at present. The software that can often be used to control progress during the implementation of the plan and adjust the network is also not common, which requires further efforts to develop,In particular, it should be developed on a microcomputer system.All the above are technical issues, but the network planning method is a management method, so it must involve the organization, system, inspection methods and other aspects of plan management. These are the prerequisites for the implementation of the network planning method, and the research on these prerequisites is also extremely important.With the progress of management modernization, this aspect is also changing gradually. How to integrate it with network planning technology is a very practical topic.
Whether the network planning method is applied well or not depends not only on how sophisticated the network preparation and calculation are, but more importantly, on how to take the process of network preparation as a process for leaders and planners (as the staff of leaders) to coordinate the work process of various departments, coordinate the division of labor and cooperation, and take the inspection and adjustment of the network diagram as a process of work progress inspection and human and material resources allocation.Therefore, the network planning method itself is a kind of technology, while the effective use of it is an art. It needs to organically combine the scientific method with the experience and creativity of leaders and planners. In the process of combining, gradually find out the regular things, add them to the method, and make it constantly develop and enrich,This is precisely what Lenin meant when he said that theory needs to be energized by practice.
