Abstract

The current work focuses on a Hungarian clothing manufacturer’s problem. First the industrial problem is presented; its corresponding critical pass method graph is depicted. To answer all emerging questions with respect to alternative possibilities, a large number of critical pass method problems have to be solved cumbersomely. Instead, first this graph is transformed into a process network. Alternatives specified by mainly financial necessities as well as human resource constraints can now be easily managed, namely where specific activities can be performed in different ways by various employee having different qualifications, requiring different durations and obviously respective costs can be considered within this model. These separate cases can commonly be handled within the resultant sole process network and the corresponding mathematical programming model.
