1. Consider the project defined by the following table. (1) Construct the CPM network diagram. (2) Complete the table. Find the critical path and project duration. (3) Suppose that you can crash activity B or F by 2 weeks at the same cost. Which activity you should crash? Determine the new critical path and project duration. Activity | Duration (week) | Preceded by | Earliest Start | Latest Start | Total Float A | 4 | -- | | | B | 3 | A | | | C | 2 | A | | | D | 2 | B | | | E | 2 | B, C | | | F | 4 | B, C | | | G | 3 | E, F | | | H | 3 | E | | |

Step 1
From the table, we know: - Activity A has no predecessors. - Activity B and C are both preceded by A. - Activity D and E are both preceded by B. - Activity F is preceded by C. - Activity G and H are both preceded by E and F. Show more…

Consider the following table of activities that describes a project network. Without causing the critical path to become noncritical or otherwise wasting money, by how many days max could you crash this project? Assume you can crash only one activity at a time and that crashing is necessary regardless of cost. You do not want to crash the critical path(s) beyond the point where it (they) is no longer critical as this will not reduce project duration. Activity Predecessors Normal duration (days) Crash duration (days) Normal cost Crash cost A -- 10 5 $1,000 $3,000 B A 20 10 $4,000 $6,000 C A 5 4 $2,000 $4,000 D B, C 3 2 $1,000 $2,000 E B, C 20 10 $5,000 $10,000 F B, C 4 3 $3,000 $4,000 G D, E, F 10 5 $2,000 $5,000 A) From 60 days to 50 days B) From 60 days to 40 days C) From 60 days to 30 days D) From 60 days to 20 days E) From 60 days to 10 days

For the following project management, schedule the project for minimum cost between the crash and normal times. a. Calculate Critical Path and critical time for both normal time and crash time. (4) b. Calculate the probability of the project for (critical +1) days & (critical time-1) days. (3) c. Schedule the project for minimum cost. Write clearly each stage of iteration and draw the network at every step. (10)

Assume that your capstone project is broken down into a number of major jobs or activities, as shown in Table below: Activity Description | Activity Identification | Immediate Predecessor Activity | Activity Duration (Days) Proposal defense | A | - | 5 Problem Statement | B | - | 4 Objectives | C | A | 3 Literature review | D | A | 4 Methodology | E | A | 6 Results | F | B, C | 4 Discussion and analysis | G | D | 5 Recommendation | H | D, E | 6 Challenges | I | F | 6 Conclusion | J | G, H | 4 a. Draw a Gantt chart. b. Develop a CPM network. c. Determine both the critical path of the network and the project duration period
