- Dave Fletcher was able to determine the activity times for constructing his laser scanning machine. Fletcher would like to determine ES, EF, LS, LF, and slack for each activity. The total project completion time and the critical path should also be determined. Here are the activity times: Activity Time (weeks) Immediate Predecessor(s) Activity Time (weeks) Immediate Predecessor(s)A 6 - E 5 BB 8 - F 6 BC 2 A G 9 C, ED 3 A H 7 D , F Dave's earilest start (ES) and earliest finish (EF) are: Activity ES EF A 0 6 B 0 ? C D E F G HI need assistance with the following questions in: Project Scheduling. This is a follow up to a question answered earlier. Question 1) was answered. 1) A company decides to plan a project, with activities, precedences and deterministic durations given in the following table: Activity i Duration (days) Immediate Predecessors A 32 none B 21 none C 30 none D 45 A E 26 A, B F 28 C G 20 E, F 2) The company decided that the project in the previous problem has to be expedited in order to optimize (minimize) the project cost. Expediting can be used to trade direct cost for indirect cost, since expediting the project reduces the indirect cost of the project by a fixed amount per day, while expediting an activity increases its total direct cost. The Accounting Department found that indirect costs amount to $100 per day, while activity direct costs as well as their normal and expedited times are given in the table below.…Project 1-3: Creating a Project Schedule for Hiring a New EmployeeIn this project, you will create a project schedule for the process of hiring a new employee for your department.
