Calculation of Buffer Size on Critical Chain Based on Duration Distribution, Multiresource Constraints, and Relay Potential

Abstract

The setting of the buffer size on critical chain will impose an impact on the determination of the project duration. In order to effectively calculate the buffer size, we have comprehensively taken into account the influence of duration-related risks, multiple resource constraints, and relay potential on the buffer size of key chain in this paper, and we have enhanced the method of calculating the remaining buffer to ensure more reasonable calculation of project buffer. As a result, we can effectively calculate the buffer size in a way closer to the actual production and shorten the project duration.
