Just as I may have started typing this paper a week before it was due. I would have never dreamed I might get in a car accident and have both hands cut off. Each step of the project is given an interval in which to complete their work in. As I mentioned earlier the critical path is based on the longest amount of time that one might take in order to reach completion of a project. However this process could be greatly shortened by using a different processing type known as parallel processing.
Parallel processing takes on two or more activities at the same time.
Many might say that this is the same concept as multi-tasking, but it is in no way equal to parallel processing. Multi-tasking takes on two tasks and then lets workers slack off before the next part of the project can continue. Parallel processing takes the two tasks and makes lets workers that might finish early either prepare for the next project or even begin the next part of the project. That means you have 25 minutes of slack time in between. Another example that pertains more closely to what I would like to do is the industry of pre-fabricated homes.
