Documentation
Specifies which type of reduction is used.
You can choose between the following reduction types:
- Reduction of all activities
The reduction measures are carried out step-for-step for all activities until the whole project/network duration has been suficiently reduced. After reduction all the activities have the same reduction level.
- Reduction of activities on the critical path
In each reduction step, reduction measures are only applied to those activities, for which a reduction of the lead time results in a reduction of the whole duration. The path through these activities is known as the critical path. Since there can be different critical paths for each reduction step, the individual activities in a network can have different reduction levels before a sufficent reduction of the whole lead time is achieved.
In both types of reduction the floats are reduced according to their settings.
Dependencies
If there are no parallel activities in a network, there is no critical path and consequently the second type of reduction has no effect, reduction of all activities is used.
Notes
Reduction of activitiess on the critical path makes greater demands on the system than standard reduction and can cause a reduction in performance.
