A.

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: Thepredecessors of every activity in the project are to be determined.

Concept Introduction: Network diagram is a graphical representation of tasks and events happening in a project. It depicts the workflow and is used to compute the total duration of the project.

B.

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: The critical path is to be identified by enumerating all the paths from node 1 to node 10 and computing the duration.

You have to manage a project with activities and their respective durations as listed in the table below. Draw a network diagram, Calculate the forward, backward pass, total slack, free slack and identify the critical path.
The activities of a project, their normal and shortest completion times in days, their respective completion costs in euros, and the constraints on their execution sequence are presented in the table below. Questions: A) To build the network that graphically illustrates the project. B) To find the shortest and slowest start and end times. C) Find the critical path and calculate the total cost. D) To consider the case of reducing the total duration of the project by 1 day at the lowest possible cost.
Consider the following project network. Assume that the time required (in weeks) for each activity is a predictable constant and that it is given by the number along the corresponding branch. Find the earliest time, latest time, and slack for each event. Also identify the critical path Use PERT and CPM Provide table for ACTIVITY, IMMEDIATE PREDECESSOR, DURATION, , TOTAL FLOAT, FREE FLOAT
