Capacity Multipliers: Rapidly Scaling Production through Line Balancing and Critical Path Reduction
… hypothesized that shortening the duration of the critical path and balancing resource utilization could rapidly increase the throughput of a capacity constrained factory. The investigation uses ShopSabre CNC as a case study to investigate techniques including the base-stock inventory system, the …

An Investigation of the Expanding Role of the Critical Path Method by ENR'S Top 400 Contractors
The Critical Path Method (CPM) is a widely used tool throughout the construction industry. Since its creation, the use and application of the Critical Path Method has grown tremendously. Up to date, three studies have been performed on how Engineering News Record's (ENR) Top 400 Contractor use CPM. …

Assembly lead time reduction in a semiconductor capital equipment plant through constraint based scheduling
… requirements throughout its duration. The Critical Path Method (CPM) was used to identify 13 procedures on the critical path, based on design and space constraints. A preliminary build schedule was developed that prioritized critical path procedures. A trial of this build schedule achieved …

An Enhanced RCS Heuristic and an Enhanced RCPM Algorithm to Perform Delay Analysis in Schedules without Phantom Float
… project managers concentrate their efforts on critical and near-critical activities. However, the concepts of total float and critical path lose their significance after applying resource-constrained scheduling (RCS) methodologies. RCS techniques solve the resource conflicts but create phantom …

Timing Driven Analytical Placement for FPGA
… give best results in terms of wirelength and critical path delay. The runtime for these SA based methods is directly proportional to the total number of cells to be placed. In case of modern multi-million gate FPGAs, SA based methods for placement dominate the total runtime in the FPGA CAD …

A Resource-constrained CPM (RCPM) Scheduling and Control Technique with Multiple Calendars
This research presents a Resource-constrained Critical Path Method (RCPM) technique that capitalizes on and improves the existing Critical Path Method (CPM) and Resource-Constrained Scheduling (RCS) techniques. A traditional CPM schedule is not realistic since it assumes unlimited resources, some …
