What is Time-Cost Tradeoff ?
• It is the Exchange between “Time” and “Money”
What is its Objective?
• Find Minimum Total Cost
About Total Cost:
• Total Cost = Direct + Indirect
• Direct Cost: labor, materials, equipment, …
• Indirect Cost : managers, safety, accountants, parking, …

Time-Cost Tradeoff by Examples
Example 2-D: Let’s Start
133
Create table, add initial data, and calculate +Slope if necessary
+Slope = (Crash Cost – Normal Cost)
(Normal Duration – Crash Duration)
134
Setup Columns for Actual Duration & Actual Cost
+Slope = (Crash Cost – Normal Cost)
(Normal Duration – Crash Duration)
Actual Cost = Normal Cost +Slope x (Normal Duration – Actual Duration)
Actual Duration could be any number between “Crash” and “Normal” durations.
Variables in Solver
135
Add Formula for CPM: ESD and EFD
+Slope = (Crash Cost – Normal Cost)
(Normal Duration – Crash Duration)
Actual Cost = Normal Cost +Slope x (Normal Duration – Actual Duration)
Actual Duration could be any number between “Crash” and “Normal” durations.
Variables in Solver
136
Find the Normal and Crash Durations of the Project
Normal Duration of the Project = 18
Crash Duration of the Project = 11
Therefore, we will analyze the project
between 11 to 18 months.
137
Create a table for Total Cost = Direct + Indirect
