Trangular fuzzy numbers are used to represent actvty tmes n the project network. We used rankng method and defuzzfcaton formula on fuzzy numbers. In Sanguansat and Chen Rankng Method we used set of fuzzy numbers and centrod method we used ndvdual fuzzy numbers. numercal example s gven and we compared the trangular fuzzy number for Sanguansat and Chen Rankng Method and centrod method va graph. Keywords: FCPM, fuzzy project network, trangular fuzzy numbers, rankng method, defuzzfcaton. I. INTRODUCTION The crtcal path s the one from the start of the project to fnsh of project where the slack tmes are all zeros. project network s defned as a set of actvtes that must be performed accordng to precedence constrants statng whch actvtes must start after the completon of specfed other actvtes. The operaton tme for each actvty n the fuzzy project network s characterzed as a postve trangular fuzzy number. In accordance wth CPM, the forward pass yelds the fuzzy earlest-start and earlest-fnsh tmes The backward pass s performed to calculate the fuzzy latest-start and latest fnsh tmes [6], [9] and [0]. Besdes, CPM has proved very valuable n evaluatng project performance and dentfyng bottlenecks. Thus, CPM s a vtal tool for the plannng and control of complex projects. path through a project network s one of the routes from the startng node to the endng node. ccordng to the crtcal path, the decson-maker can control the tme and the cost of the project. The length of a path s the sum of the duratons of the actvtes on the path. The project duraton equals the length of the longest path through the project network. The longest path s called the crtcal path n the network.cpm has been used n busness management, factory producton, etc. [], [] extended the fuzzy arthmetc operatons model to compute the latest startng tme of each actvty n a project network. [] and [8] used fuzzy arthmetc operatons to compute the earlest startng tme of each actvty n a project network. In ths paper, we used Sanguansat and Chen rankng method and defuzzfcaton formula for trangular fuzzy numbers and appled to the float tme for each actvty n the fuzzy project network to fnd the crtcal path. In ths paper we compared these two methods and whch one s more effectve to determnng the crtcal path n the fuzzy project network.. PRELIMINRIES Defnton..
