N2  - This study presents a goal programming mod el for project  crashing problem. A convex type nonlinear time -cost relationship  is considered and approximated by piecewise linear relationship,  each segment reflecting a surrogate activity . The goal  programming mod el with piecewise linear segments is developed.  The model considers four goals concerning both time and cost .  These are < 1> meeting a new specified completion period, ( 2 )  ensuring that certain activities are not crashed for quality  reasons, (3) confining the expenses to a specified budget, and  (4) minimizing the total direct cost of crashing. The goal  programming model with two piecewise linear segments is  formulated and applied to a real - life project which is currently  in progress. Th e model is solve d using Sequential Linear Goal  Programming (SLGP) algorithm implemented via MPSX package.  Optimal project crashing policy for the project is evolved . An  extensive sensitivity analysis of the project crashing problem is  reported to examine the effect of change d priority structure of  project goals, and change s in unit cost of crashing. Effect of  increasing the precision by introducing more number of segments  on the optimal crashing schedule is examined using a hypothetical  example
