Abstract

Network diagram plays a vital role in determining the project completion time. 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, that is widely used, is the critical path method. In this paper, a fuzzy critical path in an acyclic project network is found using type-2 triangular fuzzy numbers and its complement. An example is discussed to demonstrate our proposed approach.
