When attempting to crash a project to reduce its overall duration, the only logical candidate tasks for crashing are those on the critical path. Why is this
The critical path is the path which takes maximum time in a project.
A projcet has various tasks to be completed and there may be so many paths to complete the project but the path which takes maximum time is the critical path and directly effects Project completion time.
Now Crashing means reducing duration of a project maybe by employing more resources. Now to reduce overall project completeion time, it is only logical to attach Critical path and the tasks assigned on critical path becasue that path is the Maximum time taking path and is the project completion time actually. Other paths which are already in the non critical zone will have no impact on the project completion time even if we reduce the duration of those tasks.
