AbstractPerformance of 16 bits microcomputer is investigated with respect to its application to construction project scheduling and schedule updating. A microcomputer through precedence networks program titled PREC-NET, is developed in MICROSOFT FORTRAN language to generate the precedence network schedule, bar-chart and network diagram. This precedence network involves Lead - Lag (LL) , Start- to- Start (SS), Finish- to- Finish (FF>, Finish-to- Start (FS) and Start- to- Finish relationships, in terms of percentage completion of inter- related activities. The concept of precedence network is extensively discussed in terms of its practicability and usefulness for project involving ladder type of activities. The architecture of the program is then described. Finally, an example of a real construction project is used to validate and verify the capabilities and the effectiveness of the developed program. The program has three options for consideration of duration on daily, weekly and monthly basic. The program can run on IBM 16 bit microcomputer and its compatibles.
