Introduction • Steps of right decision: • Definiate: Time and costs • Analysedthepossibilities • Comparetheopportunities • Choosethebestway
Project accelerationterminology Normal Time, normalcost Thisis theusualtimethatwould be neededtocarry out theelectricalservicesworkundernormalcircumstances, estimatedat 12 dayswith a cost of £10.000.
Project accelerationterminology Crash Time, crash cost The crash time is the maximum time the operation can be compressed by increasing the resources. Crash time: 8 days Crash cost: £18.000
