 Critical Path Analysis 
  Critical Path Analysis 
          Critical Path Analysis (CPA), is sometimes called 
          Network Analysis 
          It is a tool used to plan activities so that a job can be 
          completed in the shortest time 
          It breaks a job down into a number of tasks, and looks 
          at the dependency of them 
             For example, list the activities that must be completed in order 
             to make a cup of coffee 
          It is used commonly in manufacturing and construction

 Parts of the Network 
  Parts of the Network 
       A network consists of 2 things: 
          An ACTIVITY 
             This requires time and/or resources 
             They are drawn as ARROWS from left to right 
             The length of the arrow is NOT important 
          A Node 
             These represent the start and the end of an activity 
             They are represented by CIRCLES 
             Every network MUST start and end with a node
                                                     © Business Studies Online: Slide 2 
 A Simple Network Diagram 
  A Simple Network Diagram 
       A business wishes to build a new factory 
       Before it can do so it needs to: 
          Buy the land (Activity A – will take 12 weeks) 
          Draw up Plans (Activity B – will take 3 weeks) 
       A simple network may be drawn to illustrate this scenario: 
                      A                        B 
                                               3
                     12

 Illustrating Simultaneous Activities 
  Illustrating Simultaneous Activities 
       Of course in reality some activities can be carried out 
       simultaneously 
       Using the previous example: 
          Assume that whilst in the process of buying the land the firm wants 
          to apply for planning permission (Activity AA – will take 14 weeks) 
                       A 
                      12 
                                                B 
                                                3 
                      AA 
                      14
       Try drawing a network using your instructions for making a 
       cup of coffee
