Step-by-Step Approach to Crashing a Project: 1. Find all possible Paths from Start to End. 2. Find the Critical Path(CP) or Paths. 3. Find the Cheapest Task to Crash in the Critical Path. • In some cases you may need to consider crashing more than one task in order to affect all Critical Paths. • Suppose you have 2 Critical Paths - ABC and ABD • If the Crash Costs are A-$10, B-$15, C-$5, and D-$4 • In this case Crash C and D ($9 total) - Reduces each CP by 1 week • On the other hand, if instead A-$10, B-$15, C-$6, and D-$6 • In this case crash only A ($10 total) - Reduces each CP by 1 week 4. Crash that item (or those items) by one week. 5. Change completion time in the Activity On Node (AON) Diagram. 6. Change Path times for all affected Paths.
