Solving the Critical Path Problem with Intuitionistic Triskaidecagonal Fuzzy Numbers

1. Introduction

In project management, the critical path problem is of utmost significance. The critical path represents the longest path in a project network and determines the minimum time needed to complete a project. However, in real - world projects, activity durations are often uncertain due to factors like resource availability, unforeseen events, and human errors. To deal with this uncertainty, fuzzy numbers have been employed to represent activity durations.

This approach proposes using Intuitionistic Triskaidecagonal Fuzzy Numbers to handle the critical path problem. Intuitionistic fuzzy numbers are an extension of traditional fuzzy numbers, considering both
