Document Summary
Bp computes latest times & ids cp and slack time. Expected time how soon the project can finish. Objective of resource scheduling for time- constrained project. The amount of time an activity can be delayed without delaying the entire project. The sequence of activities that determines the shortest duration of the project. Is also the longest path through the network. Normally is the path(s) with zero slack. resources will be available in the required amounts when needed this may not be realistic any form of network analysis where resource management issues drive scheduling decisions. Working capital to smooth out" the resource demands (i. e. , reduce the peaks and valleys) You don"t want to use 20 programmers in week 1, 2 programmers in week 2, 15 in week 3, etc. balancing or smoothing resource demands by using positive slack (delaying noncritical activities) Resources over the life of the project are reduced.
