CE 5575 - Lecture 14

define free float

max amount of days an activity can be delayed without delaying successor

define total float

max amount of days an activity can be delayed without delaying the whole project

define network sensitivity

likelihood original critical paths will change

define insensitive network

only 1 critical path with lots of slack

define resource loading

assign labor/equipment to activities to see when demand > availability

define resource leveling

adjusting activity timing to resolve overallocations

define resource smoothing

adjust activities with float to lower demand spikes
