The variability in times required to perform each activity is due to the different types, sizes, and conditions of the cars to be serviced. 

Required

  • Draw the activity network for this problem (either AON or AOA)
  • Determine the Expected Time and Variance for each activity. Round to 2 decimal places where applicable.
  • Show the activity schedule (ES, EF, LS, and LF) as well as slack. 
  • Determine and state the critical path for this project. This must be based on your work in c) and not by inspection.                                                                                     
  • What are the expected time and the standard deviation of the project?
