Needless to saythese techniques have proved veryuseful, but the real problem of effectively controlling the slippage on construction projects, particularlyin the developing countries, still remains largelyunsolved. The author has done substantial work in India and otherdeveloping countries trying to find workable solutions to this burning issueand have achieved somesuccess. Keeping in view this experience, the author has been actively pursuing further studies, researchand detailed work in this area and his broad findings are outlined in this paper.
