| Abstract: | The activity network (e.g. Pert, CPM) has long been established in industry as a tool for planning and managing projects. One of its shortfalls is its rigid analysis and specification of the project structure - a point that most managers take for granted. Applying flexibility to the network structure in the form of stochastic activity nodes results in a generalized activity network. The paper clarifies the limitations imposed by existing systems, and provides a smooth transition for project managers currently using standard PERT-type methodologies. |
