Critical path analysis in the network with fuzzy activity times
A natural generalization of the criticality notion in a network with fuzzy activity times is given. It consists in direct application of the extension principle of Zadeh to the notion of criticality of a path (an activity, an event) treated as a function of the activities duration times in the network. There are shown some relations between the notion of fuzzy criticality, introduced in the paper, and the notion of interval criticality (criticality in the network with interval activity times) proposed by the authors in another paper. Two methods of calculation of the path degree of criticality (according to the proposed concept of fuzzy criticality) are presented. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
