The networks drawn using standard conventions are
easily readable and acceptable. These rules for drawing networks depend upon
the network technique employed.
Network Purpose
A project needs different types of networks like
master network, summary network and contract control network, at various levels
of control. The first step in drawing a network is to decide upon the type of
network required and then draw separate networks incorporating relevant
information for each level of control.
Initially, the draft of the network should be prepared
in pencil, discussion at various levels. As far as possible, the level of
activities within a network should be kept consistent.
Network Drawing Sheet Size
Each type of network should be drawn on convenient
size sheet not exceeding A0 size (1189 mm X 841 mm). An A0 size drawing sheet
is sufficient for as many as 200 activities. Networks should be split into
various sub-networks linked by the interfacing activities or events (shown in
boxes or circles) and should be drawn on smaller size (A3 or A4) paper.
Project Network Layout Stratification
Prior to the
commencement of integration, the paper on which the project network diagram is
to be drawn should be divided into various strata. Stratification means
division of the network diagram in such a way that activities pertaining to the
same department, contract, location or method of construction, can be grouped
by drawing horizontal and/or vertical lines. Generally, the strata can be
visualized from a prior knowledge of the scope of work in a project. These can
also be easily deduced from the work-breakdown structure.
