    subsequent tasks ("free float") project completion date ("total float"). Total float is associated with the path. [2]: 508 [1]: 183 If a project network chart/diagram has 4 non-critical paths, then that project would have 4 total float values. The total float of a path is the combined free float values of all activities in a path.

    [1]: 502 [2]: 183 i.e. Slack = latest start date - earliest start day or Slack = latest finish time - earliest finish time. Any activities which have a slack of 0, they are on the critical path. solving the PDM, with: BS is an early start date. BM is a late start date. KS is an early finish date. KM is a late finish date.

  4. Free surface effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_surface_effect

    A liquid hitting a wall in a container will cause sloshing. The free surface effect is a mechanism which can cause a watercraft to become unstable and capsize. [1]It refers to the tendency of liquids — and of unbound aggregates of small solid objects, like seeds, gravel, or crushed ore, whose behavior approximates that of liquids — to move in response to changes in the attitude of a craft ...

  5. Backlash (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backlash_(engineering)

    In mechanical engineering, backlash, sometimes called lash, play, or slop, is a clearance or lost motion in a mechanism caused by gaps between the parts. It can be defined as "the maximum distance or angle through which any part of a mechanical system may be moved in one direction without applying appreciable force or motion to the next part in mechanical sequence."

  6. Program evaluation and review technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Program_Evaluation_and...

    float or slack is a measure of the excess time and resources available to complete a task. It is the amount of time that a project task can be delayed without causing a delay in any subsequent tasks (free float) or the whole project (total float).

  7. Least slack time scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_slack_time_scheduling

    Least slack time (LST) scheduling is an algorithm for dynamic priority scheduling. It assigns priorities to processes based on their slack time . Slack time is the amount of time left after a job if the job was started now.
