Criticality Degree and Project Characteristics in a Fuzzy Project Network

Abstract

The Critical Path Method (CPM) is an essential implement for design, organization, and set up large-scale projects in project networks. In this paper, a systematic method calculating Criticality and Project Characteristics in a Fuzzy project network with Triangular Fuzzy numbers as activity durations developed. Measuring Critical Degree (CD) and Project Characteristics of a Fuzzy project network is calculated using tabular representation with the help of Triangular Fuzzy numbers as activity times. An example application gives to illustration of the steps involved in solving the process presented. This implies that the proposed methodology is accurate and efficient in project network with Fuzzy activity times to find Criticality Degree and characteristics of the project such as the most recent times, latest times, total float, etc.
