Example 8.1 Printing a Gantt Chart
This example shows how to use the GANTT procedure to obtain a basic line-printer Gantt chart using the default options. The following data describe the precedence relationships among the tasks involved in the construction of a typical floor in a multistory building. The first step saves the precedence relationships in a SAS data set. The variable ACTIVITY names each task, the variable DUR specifies the time it takes to complete the task in days, and the variables SUCCESS1 to SUCCESS4 specify tasks that are immediate successors to the task identified by the ACTIVITY variable.
PROC CPM determines the shortest schedule for the project that finishes before September 1, 2004. The solution schedule, saved in a SAS data set, is next sorted by the early start time before invoking the GANTT procedure to plot the schedule. Since the DATA= option is not specified, PROC GANTT uses the sorted data set to produce the schedule since it is the most recently created data set. The Gantt chart in Output 8.1.1 is plotted on two pages because there are too many observations (29) to fit on one page. Note that the observations are split into two groups containing 15 and 14 observations, respectively, so that the chart size on each page is approximately equal. The time axis is labeled from June 21, 2004, to September 1, 2004, since these are the minimum and maximum dates in the Schedule data set. A legend is displayed at the bottom of the chart on each page.
