Exact Optimal Solution Of Fuzzy Critical Path Problems, Amit Kumar, Parmpreet Kumar Jun 2011

Exact Optimal Solution Of Fuzzy Critical Path Problems, Amit Kumar, Parmpreet Kumar

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, a fuzzy critical path problem is chosen to show that the results, obtained by using the existing method [Liu, S.T.: Fuzzy activity times in critical path and project crashing problems. Cybernetics and Systems 34 (2), 161-172 (2003)], could be improved to reflect, more appropriate real life situations. To obtain more accurate results of fuzzy critical path problems, a new method that modifies the existing one is proposed here. To demonstrate the advantages of the proposed method it is used to solve a specific fuzzy critical path problem.

The method for finding fuzzy optimal solution of fully fuzzy critical path (FFCP) problems i.e., critical path problems in which all the parameters are represented by fuzzy numbers, is at best scant; possibly non-existent. In this paper, a method is proposed to find the fuzzy optimal solution of FFCP problems, together with a new representation of triangular fuzzy numbers. This paper will show the advantages of using, the proposed representation over the existing representations of triangular fuzzy numbers and will present with great clarity the proposed method and illustrate its application to FFCP problems occurring in real life situations.
