CPM System (Critical Path Method & Chiller Plant Management)

Responsibility of Project Manager in this field:

1. CPM as Critical Path Method (Project Scheduling)

• Timeline Management: Build and maintain detailed project schedules identifying the longest sequence of dependent activities required to complete the project on time.
• Resource Crashing & Leveling: Identify critical tasks—such as chiller delivery lead times, piping fabrication, and electrical integration—to prevent bottlenecks and trade stacking
• Milestone Tracking: Monitor the schedule for zero-float tasks to ensure testing, commissioning, and final handover are achieved by the contractual deadline.

2. CPM as Chiller Plant Manager (Operational Control)

Plant Optimization: Utilize the CPM system, an automated DDC (Direct Digital Control) panel, to sequence chillers based on cooling load demands.

Energy Efficiency: Implement CPM sequences to balance equipment run hours, control VFDs, and optimize condenser water temperatures for maximum energy savings

General Project Management Duties

• Budget & Contracts: Manage project financials, process variation orders, and approve contractor progress billing.
• Stakeholder Coordination: Act as the primary liaison between the client, architects, MEP consultants, and equipment vendors.
