A Survey of Critical Path Methods Literature

2001
Critical path network analysis techniques are regarded as one of the ‘classic’ mathematical operational research topics, along with such other topics as linear programming, inventory modelling, and computer simulation. For this reason, introductory treatments are to be found, as a rule, in most general OR texts. However, they are not, and should not be

critical path method (CPM)

2009
Project management technique which calculates total duration of a project based on individual task durations and dependencies, and identifies which tasks are time-critical.

CRITICAL PATH METHOD OF WORK SCHEDULING

Journal AWWA, 1969
Efficient work scheduling is a management function too often beset by guesswork. The critical path method of scheduling creates a picture of the time‐work rerationship and allows a constructor to forecast his workload on a project for time and money savings.

Fuzzy durations in critical path method

[Proceedings 1993] Second IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, 2002
The previous application of fuzzy members to the critical path method, as is known from literature, provides only the earliest expected time for each event of the project. The author shows that a further extension can be made by considering interactive fuzzy subtraction and by observing that only the positive part of the fuzzy numbers can have a ...

Critical Path Methods at the Planning Stage

1984
We have seen that CPM does for the timing of project activities what budgeting does for their cost: it ensures that an allowance is made for all the items involved, in their proper relationship with each other, with no gaps, and no double counting. This means that, as far as is humanly possible, a feasible set of schedules for the timing of project ...

Fuzzy critical path method based on statistical data

2002 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence. 2002 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems. FUZZ-IEEE'02. Proceedings (Cat. No.02CH37291), 2003
The purpose of the CPM (critical path method) is to identify critical activities on the critical path of activity networks. Activity networks are used for performance evaluation of certain types of projects. The deterministic version of the CPM algorithm has been well known for many years.

The role of the activity adjacency matrix in the critical path method

ACM SIGAPL APL Quote Quad, 1991
This paper introduces the use of an activity adjacency matrix in the critical path method to avoid the confusion created by converting the project into its network representation, particularly in performing the cost time trade-offs. A set of APL code was developed to illustrate this point.
