Hospital Management System

The document discusses the critical path method (CPM) for project scheduling. It provides definitions for key CPM terms like critical path, critical activities, earliest start/finish times, latest start/finish times, and float. It then shows an example CPM calculation for a project with multiple tasks, identifying the critical path and calculating earliest start/finish times, latest start/finish times, and float for each task.

CPM: Path A connected sequence of activities leading from the starting event to the ending event

Critical Path The longest path (time); determines the project duration

Critical Activities All of the activities that make up the critical path

Forward Pass Earliest Start Time (ES) earliest time an activity can start ES = maximum EF of immediate predecessors

Earliest finish time (EF) earliest time an activity can finish

EF= ES + t Backward Pass 

earliest start time plus activity time

Latest Start Time (LS)

Latest time an activity can start without delaying critical path time LS= LF - t  Latest finish time (LF)

latest time an activity can be completed without delaying critical path time LS = minimum LS of immediate predecessors
