Concept explainers
A
Interpretation:The network diagram is to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:Network diagram is a graphical representation of tasks in symbols and lines for easy understanding. The networking technique is a method for planning, programming and controlling of work in progress. It is helpful for effective management. It helps the management for decisions.
B
Interpretation:The critical path and duration of the project are to be determined.
Concept Introduction:Critical path is a technique which has various stages. It is used to calculate the optimum time is requiredto complete a task. It is the longest length of time for completion of the project.
C
Interpretation:The slack for each activity is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:Slack is the time evaluatedwhich causes the delay during any activity. For calculation, the earliest and the latest time of activity are required.
