Please help in deatils to find the correct answers 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 probable, and…
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?
