Determine the cost per unit of time to expedite each activitiy
Compute the critical path
Shorten the critical path at the point where cost are lowest
Plot project, indirect, and total cost curves to find the minimum-cost schedule

the activities to be accomplished
A valuation of each activity work
Predefined earning or costing
rules to quantify the accomplishment
