The primary purpose of this research was to subject Conlon and Garland’s (1993; Garland & Conlon, 1998) project completion hypothesis to a stronger test than it has faced in the past. We conducted an experiment in which we manipulated the degree of completion, sunk-cost amount, and anticipated sales price for a hypothetical real estate development project. The sales price information allowed pa...

The problem of determining the time to complete multiple tasks that may proceed concurrently, sequentially, or both is considered. In the solution offered, each individual task completion time may be described with a number, interval, or distribution function. In the case of distribution functions, two task completion times might be independent random variables, as when the tasks are performed ...

Project cannot be done without planning, scheduling and an estimation of its duration for completion. Every project that has to undertaken must have a deadline it completion but not every goes as schedule. Hence, applications scientific method such CPM, PERT are often very useful in management scheduling. This study was on the application CPM building construction taking case Mosul Estate const...

this paper proposes a hybrid method to find cumulative distribution function (cdf) of completion time of gert-type networks (gtn) which have no loop and have only exclusive-or nodes. proposed method is cre-ated by combining an analytical transformation with gaussian quadrature formula. also the combined crude monte carlo simulation and combined conditional monte carlo simulation are developed a...

The study determined whether Task Delegation and Completion Checklist (TDCC) promoted students’ active involvement in Science Research Team Project. A mixed-method research design was utilized this a total of 32 Grade 12 STEM students Trento National High School, S.Y. 2018-2019 served as the respondents. With use TDCC achieving main task, results revealed that there high level participation is ...

We explore here surprising links between the time-cost-tradeoff problem and the minimum cost flow problem that lead to faster, strongly polynomial, algorithms for both problems. One of the main results is a new algorithm for the unit capacity min cost flow that culminates decades of efforts to match the complexity of the fastest strongly polynomial algorithm known for the assignment problem. Th...

The time–cost tradeoff problem is one of the most important and applicable problems in project scheduling area. There are many factors that force the mangers to crash the time. This factor could be early utilization, early commissioning and operation, improving the project cash flow, avoiding unfavorable weather conditions, compensating the delays, and so on. Since there is a need to allocate e...
