Do you consider paying a vendor more to deliver a critical path activity sooner as a schedule crashing technique ?

Replying to Suhail Iqbal

...

It is all in the contract, if we compress the schedule by crashing the terms of contract can be re-negotiated, and we may pay him more but under new conditions to complete on new earlier date.

I agree with that but paying the SC to do the same work with less time is incentive so why do we need to change the contract terms and renegotiate ?

Every vendor and subcontractor has the PO for doing works. He submits us the timeschedule in accordance with project schedule.

If we have to change the conditions of PO, we have to renegotiate. However sometime we cannot renegotiate it because of organisations contracting systems.

That time we managed it with sub contractor by personal influences or by speeding up the invoice approval time (no extra cost). I would say if we have to speed up we have to find the ways.

I would give it a green signal when consequences can be better.
