One of these uncertainties in the project planning process is estimating the duration of activities. This paper presents a methodology for implementing an extended method of critical path based on the application of fuzzy expert systems to manage schedule uncertainties. To represent the uncertainty involved we have considered the generalized quasi-geometric fuzzy numbers to represent the activity times. Moreover, TA-based fuzzy operations are used to have real solutions for the parameters. Meanwhile, a new approach to ranking generalized quasi-geometric fuzzy numbers and their distance is proposed in detail. Finally, the proposed concepts are applied in the field of critical path analysis and a relevant case study of it is also included to justify the notion.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCritical Path Method(CPM)Fuzzy Critical Path method(FCPM)Generalized Quasi-Geometric Fuzzy NumbersTransmission Average (TA) OperationsStatistical DataArticleWOS:0008543947000012-s2.0-85138212284N/A10.1007/s41066-022-00347-wQ1
