How were the industrialists captains of industry?
Upon looking back to the late 1800s during the dawn of the New Industrial Revolution, historians have often portrayed the capitalists of this era in American history as captains of industry. Industries that were built by men such as Cornelius Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie, J.P. Morgan, and John D. Rockefeller led to the eventual greater good for all and opened doors for advancements in aspects of American life such as communication, trade, technology, and social standards. Had it not been for the births of the corporations these men created, the United States as a whole would not have stepped up to and surpassed its international competitors and would not be as independent as it is today. Vanderbilt welded together and expanded the older eastern railroad networks and began the trend of replacing old iron tracks with steel rail by first doing it on his New York Central rail line. By 1877, New York Central operated along more than forty-five hundred miles of track. Andrew Carnegie the steel king was producing one-fourth of the nation's Bessemer steel by 1900. Carnegie also founded the entrepreneurial method of vertical integration, which combined all phases of manufacturing into one organization with the goal of improving efficiency by making supplies more reliable, controlling the quality of the product at all stages of production, and elimination middlemen's fees. J.P. Morgan later bought Carnegie out for over 400 million dollars and launched America's first billion dollar corporation in 1901, United States Steel Corporation. In the 1870s, kerosene was America's fourth most valuable export, thanks to John D. Rockefeller, who dominated the oil industry and started the Standard Oil Company in 1870. Quite obviously, these men succeeded beyond their wildest dreams; they built their companies from the bottom up and helped America flourish into the free-market capitalist society it boasts today. Together, these men rose to the top and in doing so, pioneered and perfected techniques of mass production and commerce that are still used to this very day.
Definition of pert cpm?
Its the abbreviation of Program Evaluation and Review Technique / Critical Path Method. The critical path method (CPM) is a project modeling technique developed in the late 1950s by Morgan R. Walker of DuPont and James E. Kelley, Jr. of Remington Rand.Kelley and Walker related their memories of the development of CPM in 1989. Kelley attributed the term "critical path" to the developers of the Program Evaluation and Review Technique which was developed at about the same time by Booz Allen Hamilton and the US Navy. The precursors of what came to be known as Critical Path were developed and put into practice by DuPont between 1940 and 1943 and contributed to the success of the Manhattan Project. CPM is commonly used with all forms of projects, including construction, aerospace and defense, software development, research projects, product development, engineering, and plant maintenance, among others. Any project with interdependent activities can apply this method of mathematical analysis. Although the original CPM program and approach is no longer used, the term is generally applied to any approach used to analyze a project network logic diagram. PERT is a method to analyze the involved tasks in completing a given project, especially the time needed to complete each task, and to identify the minimum time needed to complete the total project. PERT was developed primarily to simplify the planning and scheduling of large and complex projects. It was developed for the U.S. Navy Special Projects Office in 1957 to support the U.S. Navy's Polaris nuclear submarine project. It was able to incorporate uncertainty by making it possible to schedule a project while not knowing precisely the details and durations of all the activities. It is more of an event-oriented technique rather than start- and completion-oriented, and is used more in projects where time, rather than cost, is the major factor. It is applied to very large-scale, one-time, complex, non-routine infrastructure and Research and Development projects. An example of this was for the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble which applied PERT from 1965 until the opening of the 1968 Games. This project model was the first of its kind, a revival for scientific management, founded by Frederick Taylor (Taylorism) and later refined by Henry Ford (Fordism). DuPont's critical path method was invented at roughly the same time as PERT.
