Abstract

In this paper, a novel approach has been made to find the critical path in a directed acyclic graph, where for each arc lengths fuzzy numbers are assigned instead of crisp numbers. Procedures are designed to find the optimal path, and finally illustrative examples are provided to demonstrate the proposed approach.
