CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS OF TIME-ORDERED CONSTRUCTION AND ASSEMBLY PROJECTS

Abstract

A method for analyzing time-sequential ordered construction and assembly projects with multiduration jobs and arbitrary job scheduling is presented. The method employs partitioning techniques applied to an oriented linear graph representation of the project. The main principle involves the critical path, which is the longest continuous path from the starting vertex to the finishing vertex in the graph, and therefore represents the minimum time in which the project can possibly be completed. Bounds on project time and number of men required are given. (Author)
