Critical Path Cpm Network Diagram. K ritzman l. We have taken the critical path method problems from the major operations management books used in university teaching as.
In the following examples we will perform critical path analysis and cpm network diagrams activity on node. In case if the project management needs to accelerate the project the times for critical path activities should be reduced. Since activities 3 and 4 are also on the critical path their float will remain as zero.
The activities in the critical path have an effect on the deadline of the project.
The project is analysed into different activities whose relation ships as in pert are shown on the network diagram. Using the critical path diagram from the previous section activities 2 3 and 4 are on the critical path so they have a float of zero. Once you have identified the activities and their dependencies you can draw the critical path analysis chart cpa known as the network diagram. Create separate boxes for each task in the sequence.
