Introduction Networks and network analysis play essential role for description and improvement of different systems due to simplification of modeling techniques Pritsker amp Whitehouse 1966 . This makes it possible for analyzing the complicated systems in a less inductive way and could stimulate tasks in the network analysis. This also gives a comprehensive breakthrough to simplify the development of analysis proce- dure for more complex networks FriLòker 1966 Chen amp Bao 2013 . Graphical Evaluation and Review Techniques GERT is a technique to study the stochastic nature of networks consisting of different branches. In GERT all branches are explained in terms of the proba- bility .
