There have been several attempts in the literature to apply fuzzy numbers to the critical path method. The result delivers the earliest expected time for each event of the project. This paper shows that further extension can be made by considering the interactive fuzzy subtraction and by observing that only the nonnegative part of the fuzzy numbers can

Advances in Critical Path Methods
Journal of the Operational Research Society, 1966It is now ten years since critical path analysis was introduced into British industry. During that time its scope and usefulness have been substantially increased. This article is a critical review of its development. It shows how it has enabled management planning and control systems to be evolved which embrace costs and resources, in addition to time.

Extending the Application of Critical Path Methods
Quality Management in Health Care, 1995Most health care organizations are using critical pathways in an attempt to reduce the variation in patient care, improve quality, enhance communication, and reduce costs. Virtually all of the critical path efforts to date have developed tables of treatments, medications, and so forth by day and have displayed them in a format known as a Gantt chart ...

Critical Path Method with Multiple Calendars
Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 2005This paper presents the critical path method forward and backward passes with multiple calendars. Multiple calendars are required in many construction projects to effectively represent various project conditions such as work properties, resource availabilities, weather conditions, etc. For this reason, major project management software packages such as

On electrical analogy of critical path method
IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management, 1972Critical path method of project planning, scheduling, and control has gained considerable importance because of its theoretical novelty ad practical value. Essentially, this technique is based on the theory of flow through network. Although the structure of a project network is analogous to the electrical net, the branch characteristics fail to show ...

This chapter makes an effort to tighten the gap between the project scheduling literature and the needs of project managers and schedulers through the use of a practical computerized simulation game. Project managers are constantly confronted with the intricacy of scheduling a complex real-life problem in an efficient way when they often have little ...

Calculating Critical Path: Comparison of heuristic methods
2016 XIX IEEE International Conference on Soft Computing and Measurements (SCM), 2016Network analysis provides an effective practical system for planning and controlling large projects in construction and many other fields. The purpose of the Critical Path Method (CPM) is to identify critical activities on the critical path so that resources may be concentrated on these activities in order to reduce project length time.

Non-linear optimization of critical path method
2017 3rd International Conference on Science in Information Technology (ICSITech), 2017Time and Cost Optimization (TCO) may be described as a process to identify appropriate construction activities to get the minimum duration of process and minimum additional cost which are needed. Critical Path Method (CPM) crashing project is one of methods to solve the time and cost optimization.

CRITICAL PATH METHOD OF WORK SCHEDULING
Journal AWWA, 1969Efficient 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.
