Abstract :
Fuzzy logic offers an alternative to probability for measuring uncertainty related to activity completion. Fuzzy logic is appropriate for measuring vagueness or imprecision in estimation. There is no consensus concerning the best approach to use in practice. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate a new, straightforward method for applying fuzzy logic to assess uncertainty in critical path analysis
