The table below shows the relevant task data for a certain project, with durations given in days.
a. Draw a fully analyzed network diagram for the project showing all activity times, find the project duration, develop the activities boundary timetable, and identify the critical path.
b. Assuming each task starts as soon as possible, construct the Gantt chart and corresponding resource loading diagram for the project.
c. Construct a second resource loading diagram showing how the timing of individual tasks could be rearranged to reduce the fluctuation in worker demand, without changing the overall project duration.
d. If only 7 workers are available, how would you assign workers to tasks to ensure that the project can be completed without violating the resource limit? The project duration may be extended in this case if necessary.
Task | Predecessor | Duration | Workers
A | - | 3 | 5
B | - | 2 | 2
C | - | 4 | 3
D | B,C | 3 | 2
E | A | 5 | 3
F | D | 3 | 4
