UNIT II Scheduling Procedures & Techniques CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS CE-6005-CONSTRUCTION PLANNING & SCHEDULING 8.8.16 UNIT II Scheduling Procedures & Techniques CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS Prepared by Prof. S.L. David Anandaraj

CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS 8.8.16 The critical path for any network is the longest path through the entire network. Since all activities must be completed to complete the entire project, the length of the critical path is also the shortest time allowable for completion of the project. So, if the project is to be completed in that shortest time, all activities on the critical path must be started as soon as possible. These activities are called critical activities. If the project has to be completed ahead of the schedule, then the time required for at least one of the critical activity must be reduced. 31.01.17 CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS

CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS 8.8.16 Further, any delay in completing the critical activities will increase the project duration. The activity, which does not lie on the critical path, is called non-critical activity. These non-critical activities may have some slack time. The slack is the amount of time by which the start of an activity may be delayed without affecting the overall completion time of the project. But a critical activity has no slack. To reduce the overall project time, it would require more resources (at extra cost) to reduce the time taken by the critical activities to complete. 31.01.17 CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS

SIGNIFICANCE OF CRITICAL PATH 8.8.16 It is the longest path in the network, however it is possible for a network to have more than one critical path. The sum of the durations of critical activities along the critical path determines the duration of the project. It is the most sensitive path, any change in duration critical activities along the critical path is bound to effect the duration of the entire project. 31.01.17 CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS

CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS TERMS IN CPM 8.8.16 1. EST ( Earliest Start Time) : It is the earliest time an activity can be started, assuming that all the activities prior to it have taken place as early as possible.  2. LST (Latest Start Time) : This is the latest time an activity can start consistent, with the completion of the project in the stipulated time. The LST of an activity is determined by subtracting the activity duration from the LFT of succeeding event. 3. EFT ( Earliest Finish Time): It is the earliest time by which an activity can be completed assuming that all the activities prior to it begin at their EST. 4. LFT (Latest Finish Time): It is the latest time by which an activity must be completed to ensure the completion of project within the stipulated time. 31.01.17 CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS

CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS TERMS IN CPM 8.8.16 (a) Float: The difference between the latest start time and earliest start time of an activity is called as float. Float is a measure of the amount of time by which the start of an activity can be delayed consistent with the completion of the project on time.   (b) Total Float: Total float of an activity is defined as the difference between the maximum duration of time available for the completion and duration required to carry out that duration. 31.01.17 CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS

CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS TERMS IN CPM 8.8.16 Resource leveling:   The aim is reduce the peak resource requirements and smooth out period to period assignment within a constraint on the project duration. Crashing: Higher amounts of direct activity cost would be associated with smaller activity duration times, while longer duration time would involve comparatively lower direct cost. Such deliberate reduction of activity times by putting in extra effort is called Crashing. 31.01.17 CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS

CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS TERMS IN CPM 8.8.16 1. Normal cost:  Normal cost is the lowest possible direct cost required to complete an activity.  2. Normal time:  Normal time is the maximum time required to complete an activity at normal cost.   3. Crash time:  Crash time is the minimum possible time in which an activity can be completed using additional resources. 4. Crash cost:  Crash cost is the direct cost i.e., anticipated in completing an activity within the crash time. 31.01.17 CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS

CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS TERMS IN CPM 8.8.16 Activity cost slope It is the rate of increase in the cost of activity per unit with a decrease in time. The cost slope indicates the additional cost incurred per unit of time saved in reducing the duration of an activity. Activity Cost slope = Crash cost –Normal cost Normal time –Crash time 31.01.17 CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS
