A MODIFIED HEURISTIC APPROACH FOR CONSTRUCTING AOA
NETWORKS

RAMI A. MAHER, HAMZA AL-SAFADI

This paper introduces a heuristic algorithm, which focuses on constructing a unique
AOA networkfor any project from its activities, and immediate predecessor constraints
list. The algorithm guarantees a minimum number of dummy nodes even when the
project involves multi-critical paths. The proposed algorithm can be performed
manually as well as automatically. The final output of the algorithm is to determine two
network matrices that can be used directly for optimal project scheduling. The
algorithm is explained through a detailed example of the process of converting any
immediate predecessor list to AOA networks
