Slack of Event in CPM Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Slack of an Event = Total Float-Free Float
S = TF₀-FF₀
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Slack of an Event - (Measured in Second) - Slack of an Event in a network is the difference between the latest event time and the earliest event time at its terminal point or node.
Total Float - (Measured in Second) - Total float is the period by which an activity can shift its timing without affecting the relevant schedule completion date.
Free Float - (Measured in Second) - Free Float is the period by which an activity can shift in its timing without affecting the early start of any succeeding activity or event.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Float: 24 Day --> 2073600 Second (Check conversion here)
Free Float: 18 Day --> 1555200 Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S = TF₀-FF₀ --> 2073600-1555200

Evaluating ... ...

S = 518400

What is Free Float?

Free Float, per definition, is the amount of time that the activity can be delayed before any successors will be delayed. Early Start/Finish times are used to calculate the Free Float values.

What is Slack?

The Slack time for an activity is the time between its earliest and latest start time, or between its earliest and latest finish time. Slack is the amount of time that an activity can be delayed past its earliest start or earliest finish without delaying the project.
