Time Cost Trade Off
Steps in optimization of cost (Cost optimization through Network) After step six, three possible cases may arise: Case I: If the same path remains critical (longest) then crashing is considered for the critical activity serially in the ascending order to their cost slope as far as possible. Case II: While crashing the critical path, there … Read more
