In this study the intuitionistic fuzzy version of the critical path method has been proposed to solve networking problems with uncertain activity durations. Intuitionistic fuzzy set [1] is an extension of fuzzy set theory [2] unlike fuzzy set, it focuses on degree of belonging, the degree of nonbelonging or non-membership function and the degree of hesitancy which helps the decision maker to adopt the best among the worst cases. Trapezoidal and the triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers are utilized to describe the uncertain activity or task durations of the project network. Here trapezoidal and triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers are converted into their corresponding parametric form and applying the proposed intuitionistic fuzzy arithmetic operations and a new method of ranking based on the parametric form of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, the intuitionistic fuzzy critical path with vagueness reduced intuitionistic fuzzy completion duration of the project has been obtained. The authentication of the proposed method can be checked by comparing the obtained results with the results available in pieces of literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
