Aircraft maintenance checks using critical chain project path

Fuzzy Critical Path Problem for Project Network

The task of finding the crisp critical path has received researcher’s attention over the past two decades which has wide range of applications in planning and scheduling the large projects. In most cases of our life, the data obtained for decision makers are only approximate, which gives rise to fuzzy critical path problem. In this paper, new ranking methods are introduced to identify the fuzzy...

Critical Chain Project Management Theory and Practice

It is now over 10 years since the first publication on Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) (Goldratt, 1997). Since then, software and implementation practice have developed rapidly. The logic and assumptions underpinning this new knowledge has recently been published (Goldratt, 2007) in the form of a strategy and tactics (S&T) tree. It is, therefore, timely to review the CCPM claims from b...

A Study of Using Critical Chain Project Management Method for Multi-Project Management Improvement

Towards lightweight checks for mass maintenance transformations

We propose a lightweight, practical approach to check mass maintenance transformations. We present checks for both transformation tools and transformed source code, and illustrate them using examples of real-world transformations. Our approach is not a fully fledged, formal one but provides circumstantial evidence for transformation correctness, and has been applied to the mass maintenance of i...

Secondary Critical Path in a Fuzzy Project Network

In a fuzzy project network, the higher risk path is called possible critical path. Secondary critical path is one of the possible critical path in fuzzy project network and it plays an important role in the project scheduling, risk analysis and time-cost trade-off problems in fuzzy environment. In this paper, triangular fuzzy numbers are used to express the operation times for all activities in...
