Earliest finish time

EFT—Earliest Finish Time. The earliest elapsed time, measured from the start of a project, when a particular task can possibly be finished. 

The forward pass yields Earliest Start Times and Earliest Finish Times for each... 

The method involves the addition of the earliest start and latest finish time for each activity on the network diagram. Then using the list of precedents it is possible to calculate the shortest time in which the project can be completed. 

A leg is the smallest piece of work for a driver and consists of driving a tractor-trailer combination from one terminal to another or repositioning trailers inside a terminal. Each leg is characterized by an origin terminal and a destination terminal, which may coincide. There is an earliest availability time at the origin terminal, a latest required arrival time at the destination terminal, and a travel time (or repositioning time) associated with a leg. A tractor-trailer combination that is driven from the origin terminal to the destination terminal of a leg must start no earlier than the eadiest availability time at the origin and arrive at the destination no later than the latest required arrival time. At the destination terminal of a leg, a driver may drop his or her current tractor-trader combination and pick up a new one to continue work on the next leg of his or her dady schedule, take a break, or finish work for the day. 

The earliest an activity can begin if all activities before it are finished. It is the earliest time that an activity leaves its initiation node. 

The finding of critical periods in the development of the embryo, in which there is unusual su.sceptibility to nutritional deficiency (93,119) opens new perspectives in the field of prenatal nutrition. It emphasises the importance of a satisfactory nutritional state of the mother in the earliest periods of pregnancy. The organogenesis of the human embryo is practically finished ten weeks after conception, at a time when the expectant mother is not accorded any special privileges. Nutritional supplements are as a rule not given before the second half of pregnancy. Thus it may happen that an embryo is injured by nutritional deficiency in the early weeks of prenatal life w hile the mother appears in a perfect nutritional state at the end of...
