Abstract

Determining the specific construction time forms the important content of construction in multitask flow network plan. A general calculating approach of time parameters is proposed in the process of dealing with such problems by flow network planning, and their features are collected preparedly. Main critical impact parameters are picked up, and procedure waiting float and global critical activity are defined as well. Determination approaches of activity construction time with various project duration desires are proposed when work intensity is considered, and application of flow network planning is extended. Finally, an example is given to analyze and demonstrate that the approach is available.
