Hi there! Could you please help me at my activity. I kinda have difficulties in doing the network diagram. The question below is the thing that is about to have an answer. The image will show the table above and below that we need to consider to be able to solve the problem. Hope for soonest reply. Thanks!
ACTIVITY 2:
Consider the following immediate preceding activity table. Draw the network and calculate the earliest start time, the earliest finish time, the latest start time and the latest finish time of each of the activity. Obtain the critical path.
Note: the things to consider in the picture is only the activity 2. No need to consider the summative test 3 below. Thanks a lot!
