1. A computerized design and process scheduling optimization method, comprising the steps of:

  • building a CPM schedule of a project;

    mapping, during a planning stage of said project, pattern sets of cut-off dates of said project to said CPM schedule;

    identifying, during said planning stage, project cut-off date weeks corresponding to the pattern sets of the project cut-off dates;

    applying said pattern sets and corresponding project cut-off date weeks as inputs to a neural network pattern recognition model;

    using at least one of the generated patterns to train the neural network pattern recognition model to classify work planned at specified cut-off dates;

    using the remaining patterns to test the neural network pattern recognition model after it has been trained;

    monitoring the project, during the construction stage of said project, at said same cut-off dates;

    preparing, at any desired cut-off date, a corresponding descriptive pattern, said corresponding descriptive pattern describing actual work accomplishments during a time period defined by said any desired cut-off date;

    inputting said descriptive pattern to said neural network pattern recognition model which, responsively, declares a week of convergence that said descriptive pattern input tends to converge; and

    comparing said week of convergence declared by said neural network pattern recognition model to said cut-off date week of said associated cut-off date pattern set thereby indicating whether actual progress of the project is on schedule, ahead of schedule, or behind schedule.
