Fuzzy Critical Path Problem for Project Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 path and the fuzzy critical length is presented in the nature of fuzzy membership function. The fuzzified version of the problem has been discussed with the aid of numerical example. AMS Subject Classification: 90B10, 90B15, 90B50, 90C06

Analysis of critical paths in a project network with random fuzzy activity times
Project planning is part of project management, which is relates to the use of schedules such as Gantt charts to plan and subsequently report progress within the project environment. Initially, the project scope is defined and the appropriate methods for completing the project are determined. In this paper a new approach for the critical path analyzing a project network with random fuzzy activi...
متن کاملSolving Critical Path Problem in Project Network by a New Enhanced Multi-objective Optimization of Simple Ratio Analysis Approach with Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Sets
Decision making is an important issue in business and project management that assists finding the optimal alternative from a number of feasible alternatives. Decision making requires adequate consideration of uncertainty in projects. In this paper, in order to address uncertainty of project environments, interval type-2 fuzzy sets (IT2FSs) are used. In other words, the rating of each alternativ...
متن کاملAn Algorithm to Obtain Possibly Critical Paths in Imprecise Project Networks
We consider criticality in project networks having imprecise activity duration times. It is well known that finding all possibly critical paths of an imprecise project network is an NP-hard problem. Here, based on a method for finding critical paths of crisp networks by using only the forward recursion of critical path method, for the first time an algorithm is proposed which can find all pos...
متن کاملA Study on Fuzzy Critical Path Method Based On Metric Distance Ranking Of Fuzzy Numbers With Conventional Method
In this paper Algorithm is presented to perform critical path method in a fuzzy environment. The trapezoidal fuzzy number given by decision makers or characterized by historical data are utilized to assess the activity time in a project network. The fuzzy shortest path problem thus obtained is compared with conventional method.
متن کاملA New Approach to find Total Float time and Critical Path in a fuzzy Project Network
The purpose of the critical path method (CPM) is to identify the critical activities in the critical path of an activity network. In the real world for many projects we have to use human judgment for estimating the duration of activities. However, the unknowns or vagueness about the time duration for activities in network planning, has led to the development of fuzzy CPM. A way to deal with thi...
