Customers may insist on a particular completion date and the critical time shows whether the firm can make this date or not. • Calculating each activity allows the operations manager to order special equipment or materials needed for that task at the correct time. This ties the use of network analysis in with JIT

The sensitivity of the network is increased. The slacks are reduced which lead to a loss of flexibility. The probability of activities delaying the project is increased because the reduction of slack creates more critical activities and critical paths. 4. Include a Gantt chart with the schedule
