process evaluation packages (slightly off topic)

[PIKAL Petr]

Dear all

I need to perform some process evaluation. Sorry for not posting data and
code - I do not have any, I ask only for pointing me to correct direction.

Suppose I have several connected processes P1, P2, ..., Pn. Each process
takes some time and have some capacity (let say like preparing a dinner
for several persons - only one stove, limited capacity of utensils,
heating and cooling takes some time) and some processes can by cyclic (fry
onion in pan, put it aside, in the same pan fry meat, put an onion and
some water and simmer for a while...).

I can prepare some oriented graph (paper/pencil) or Word or drawing
programme, I can also evaluate whole process by shading spreadsheet cells
but those two tasks are not connected.

Is there any R package/other software suitable for simplifying or helping
in such tasks? E.g. When I prepare oriented graph with capacity and time
for each node is there any automatic way to transfer this graph to
timeline to see how long whole process will take, where are bottlenecks or
so?

Thank you

Petr

Hello,

There's also, apparently for simple needs, plotrix::gantt.chart
See an example in
http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/sources/source_74.R

To transfer graphs to timelines, etc, (or anything graph related)
package igraph.

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas

Thanks Bert

However this package is quite simple and actually it is just only plotting
routine for already prepared list. This can be done by reading appropriate
file but need a step before - prepare timeline from oriented graph which I
did not find yet and the only way I know is pencil/paper and manual
transformation of such oriented graph to a kind of Gantt diagramme.

Thank you again anyway. Maybe in some time the plan package will evolve to
more complex routine.

Dest regards
Petr

Thanks Rui

igraph seems to be more related to my problem, so I will try to play with
it.
