Abstract

In operations research, networks play an important role as, quite often, the problem of determining an optimum solution can be looked upon as the problem of selecting the best sequence of operations out of a finite number of available alternatives that can be represented as a network. Network diagram plays a vital role to determine project completion time. Network Scheduling is a technique used for planning and scheduling large projects in the various fields such as construction, fabrication, purchasing etc. Network analysis is a technique which determines the various sequences of activities concerning a project and the project completion time. The popular method of this technique is widely used as the critical path method. In this paper, we find the fuzzy critical path in a acyclic project network using magnitude measure to identify the fuzzy critical path from type-2 trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. An illustrative example is also included to demonstrate our proposed approach.

Keywords

Fuzzy critical path, type-2 trapezoidal fuzzy numbers, Acyclic project network, magnitude measure, centroid measure.
