Technique used to break down a project into its component ACTIVITIES, place them in the right sequence, and then decide when to carry them out.- The aim is to identify the minimum amount of time required to complete the entire project.
The objective of CPA is to schedule tasks in a way that minimizes timeand costs.- A series of lines, each one representing an activity, can be drawn in the form of a network diagram or PERT chart. (Program EVACUATION AND REVIEW TECHNIQUE). Adding the time each activity is effected to take allows a business to identify the critical path of the project- that is, the minimum time needed to complete it.
