Abstract
A successful project schedule is one of the primary keys to project success. In
this study, Fuzzy logic method (Decision maker’s risk index ranking value) is used to
estimate the delay period of a project. It is obvious that the conventional project
scheduling software is using either deterministic or probabilistic method to compute the
schedule duration, delays and lags. In other words, these methods use only quantitative
inputs but not qualitative aspects associated with individual activities. Project manager
who lack in experience will have a significant impact on the accessed duration. The
method used in this paper which determined the critical path by the lowest risk path. The
risk index is computed for each individual activity. A realistic project is considered for
FPERT has been prepared using Excel. This project has been periodically updated until
the project completion.
