Abstract

The problem of minimizing the duration of a project is studied in situations involving activities which can be started only after a prescribed number of immediately preceding activities have been performed. A strongly polynomial Dijkstra-type algorithm for solving the problem is proposed and analyzed. The algorithm is applicable to projects with activities of positive lengths, even if the underlying precedence graph contains cycles.
