  2. Float (project management) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_(project_management)

    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.

  3. Program evaluation and review technique - Wikipedia

    Activity b has an LF of 9.17 and an EF of 5.33, so the slack is 3.84 work days. Activity d has an LF of 15.01 and an EF of 10.33, so the slack is 4.68 work days. Activity f has an LF of 19.51 and an EF of 14.83, so the slack is 4.68 work days. Therefore, activity b can be delayed almost 4 work days without delaying the project.

  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 ...

    [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.

  6. 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."

  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. This algorithm is also known as least laxity first.

  8. Static timing analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_timing_analysis

    The slack associated with each connection is the difference between the required time and the arrival time. A positive slack s at some node implies that the arrival time at that node may be increased by s , without affecting the overall delay of the circuit.

  9. Slack bus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slack_bus

    The voltage magnitude is also assumed to be 1 p.u. at the slack bus. The slack bus provides or absorbs active and reactive power to and from the transmission line to provide for losses, since these variables are unknown until the final solution is established. The slack bus is the only bus for which the system reference phase angle is defined ...
