Abstract
Two major generalizations of the Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM) and an algorithm solving the generalized network are discussed in this paper: a) Two new types of precedence relations are introduced: minimal point-to-point and minimal continuous relations; b) Non-linear production-time functions can be defined in order to better adapting the model for real life situations. The activity progress-in-time function can be any strictly increasing continuously derivable function. The mathematical model, and the algorithm is shortly described, then the calculations are shown in details through an artificial example project. The emphasis is on the calculations, as this example project will be used in other papers on generalized PDM models.
