- 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 HYour hospital has applied for certification as a level 1 stroke center. It is critical that the following project is completed in 18 weeks, before the next Joint Commission survey. Project activity times are listed in the table attached as an image. Determine the minimum cost-schedule for this project to be completed in 18 weeks. Assume a linear relationship between crash cost and crash time. For example, crash cost per week for activity A can be calculated as: ($650 - $200)/(4-2) = $225. 2. What is the difference in total project costs between the earliest completion time of the project using normal times and the minimum cost-schedule you found in part 1?You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. Mueller & Associates is a urban planning firm that is designing a new public park in an Omaha suburb. Coordination of the architect and subcontractors will require a major effort to meet the 43-week completion date requested by the owner. The Mueller project manager prepared the following project network. A project network with 10 activities and 14 directed arcs is shown. Activity Start is connected to activity A. Activity A is connected to activity B, to activity C, and to activity D. Activity B is connected to activity F. Activity C is connected to activity E and to activity F. Activity D is connected to activity E. Activity E is connected to activity G and to activity Finish. Activity F is connected to activity G and to activity H. Activity G is connected to activity H. Activity H is connected to activity Finish. Activity Finish has no arcs directed to other activities. Estimates of the optimistic, most…

Compute the mean and variances for each activity and add them to the table above * Draw the project network and label the arcs with the activity name. * Assuming that the critical path is AàBàP1àEàGàH, compute the probability that this path duration is between 28 weeks and 32 weeks. * Assuming that the critical path is AàBàP1àEàGàH, compute the number of weeks within which the project will be completed with probability 0.95.I 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.…
- Consider the following network for conducting a two-week (10 working days) computer training class: please refer to the picture I uploaded Find the crash cost per day. Which activities should be crashed to meet a project deadline of 10 days with a minimum cost? Assume partial crashing. Find the new cost. Is partial crashing an appropriate assumption in this kind of project?Consider the following activities for a project. Answer the questions below. a. Assume the durations given are high confidence, create a network chart (don’t considerresources yet), and identify the critical path. What is the duration of the project? b. You aren’t quite ready to apply the critical chain project management yet, but you do want toeliminate multi-tasking. Eliminate any resource contention in your network. Identify the criticalpath now? What is the duration of the project? c. Apply the critical chain project management approach to this project. Create a new view ofyour project network, include a project buffer and any needed feeding buffers. What is the criticalchain? What is the duration of the project now?9. A project has the following activities, with specified precedents, expected durations (in days), and crash cost/day. Each activity can be crashed to a minimum duration of 1 day. (This is the same network as a previous problem.) What is the minimum total cost to shorten the project by 2 days? Round your answers to 2 decimals.
