Abstract
The use of PERT on the Ohio Brass Project was successful in establishing a controlled review of all of the important tasks in the project and resulted in new awareness by the ITA project managers of the benefits obtained from good project control. This is illustrated by the desire to expand similar project control efforts on all future ITA projects. The objectives established by UAI iii assisting ITA in the use of modern project management techniques and in the use of existing time- sharing computer services will have been highly educational to ITA, and very satisfactorily completed: This project will establish a successful relationship between ITA and UAI leaving the way open for future applications of project control and the use of other operations research techniques.
