Question

QUESTION TWO [Total mark allocated: 25] The pre-production models In the pre-production stages of the manufacturing of a piece of equipment that contains both electrical and mechanical parts, the following procedure is carried out: The specification is agreed, after which the design department makes a proto-type for approval, by the sales department. This prototype is in a form final enough for the later detailed mechanical and electrical design work to proceed independently. Once the detailed design work is complete, further sets of both electrical and mechanical parts are made which are then assembled together to form a series of complete preproduction models (PPMs). Note: the PPMs require both electrical and mechanical parts. Enough PPMs are made for electrical and mechanical proving tests to be carried out independently, although both proving tests require special test gear to be made. The manufacture of this test gear can be undertaken once the detailed development is complete. Electrical and mechanical proving tests having been completed, a final approval is given that enables materials to be ordered and production equipment to be made. Once all the material and production equipment is to hand, manufacture can start. Activities involved Duration (days) Agree specification 6 Make prototype 12 Prototype approved 2 Detailed mechanical design 12 Detailed electrical design 10 Make mechanical parts for PPMs 6 Make electrical parts for PPMs 6 Make mechanical test gear 15 Make electrical test gear 10 Make pre-production models (PPMs) 12 Electrical proving test PPMs 10 Mechanical proving test PPMs 8 Final approval given 4 Make production equipment 15 Obtain production material 4 Manufacture 15 Questions Answer the following questions. 2.1 Draw the network. [10 marks] 2.2 Analyse the network. [10 marks] 2.3 List those activities which, 35 days after work has started must: (a) have been finished (b) have been started if the total project time is not to be increased. [5 marks]

A builder contacted you for a project management work in order to plan a medium-scale building project. He knew all the different activities of the job, their precedence, and their average durations, which he shared with you. They are shown in the table below: Required: 1. Draw a network diagram and conduct the forward and backward pass. 2. State the duration of this project and the critical path. 3. Explain, without doing any calculation, what would happen to the project if the actual duration of activity A is two weeks. No more than 20 words. Note: The work for this task should be produced using Word drawing facilities. The forward and backward passes should be clearly shown on the diagram. Each activity should be described using the notation shown in class as follows:

00:01 Let's start the solution of the given question in the given question we have given this table and we have to make the precedence diagram so the preceding diagram of this table is like that where a b c d all the task are there and having their time now we have to find the select time for that slack time so as we know the select time is equal to late start time minus latest finish time so according to that we get the select time for a is equal to zero b is equal to zero c is equal to four d is…
