Critical Path Method Schedule (CPM)<br />

Weaknesses<br />

• CPM does not readily discern nor identify the distinction<br />

between “hard” logic links and “s<strong>of</strong>t” logic links. S<strong>of</strong>t logic<br />

can be used to distort and/or hide available flexibility (float)<br />

within the construction program<br />

• CPM does not readily graphically portray potential “conflict”<br />

between trade crews, work area & locations within the<br />

construction sequence.<br />

• With CPM there are many ways to write the logic <strong>of</strong> the project,<br />

and unfortunately can prove to be self-serving for whoever<br />

creates the schedule.<br />
