... CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS Introduction In projects made up of various activities where 'time is of the essence', the duration of each activity needs to be managed. Certain activities run simultaneously and some must precede others. If all activities are listed with their duration and preceding activities these can be networked visually. Earliest and latest times for each event (starting and finishing times for activities) can be established till the last activity. This saves time making the project as efficient as possible. Certain activities when delayed will increase the time of the entire project. These form a path known as the 'critical path' and show those 'critical activities' that have no spare time. All these steps make up the Critical Path Analysis. After analysis of the network a cascade chart can be formed with a corresponding resource histogram showing the number of workers throughout the project. The floats can be re-arranged to produce
