Buffer calculation methods.

MethodBuffer calculation

C&PM [35]

RSEM [36]
represents the duration with 90% completion probability
represents the duration with 50% completion probability

APRT [30] represents resource requirements of i for q
represents the level of resource acquisition of q
represents the sum of duration variance of activity in the critical chain

APD [30]
represents the number of activity relationships in the chain
represents the number of activities in the network

Buffer calculation considering resource tightness [37]
represents the physical resource tightness
represents the information resource tightness
represents the standard deviation of activities

Buffer calculation considering resource tightness, network complexity, and risk coefficient [31]
represents the buffer adjustment coefficient in the 5% risk level
represents the membership function of resource tightness
represents the coefficient of the network schedule

Buffer calculation considering project rework [8]
represents the safety duration of the activity
represents the safety time of rework
