Abstract: This paper proposes a simple approach to critical path analysis in a project network with activity times being intervals and which are converted into various Type-2 fuzzy quantities. The idea is based on generalized type-2 trapezoidal, hexagonal and octagonal fuzzy numbers and its ranking. The explicit form of membership functions of the type-2 fuzzy activity times is not required in the proposed approach. Moreover, the method is very simple and the numerical example is given for demonstrating and comparing the proposed approach with generalized type-2 trapezoidal, hexagonal and octagonal fuzzy numbers through proposed ranking function.
