Abstract
For a generalized stochastic network with a given multi-dimensional distribution of arcs duration, we propose an analytical and simulation-based procedure to calculate the probability of all critical paths, the distribution function and the first two moments of the project completion time. The procedure employs a specially constructed system of inequalities binding the task completion times.
