  • Critical path method is widely used for analyzing and managing task sequences in complex projects. Crashing is a schedule compression technique used to reduce the project duration.An approach has been made to decide the optimal crash plan to complete the project in minimal duration.Type-2 Pentagonal fuzzy numbers are used in the time-cost trade-off  problem which includes ranking process.The project crashing problem is solved using deterministic solution technique.
