1. Discuss the implications of the Gantt Chart shown in Figure 1. What important piece of information is missing? How might we overcome this lack of information? The Gantt chart provides us with the start and finish dates of each work task (Design, Manufacture, etc.), but it lacks information showing the interrelationships of the tasks listed on the chart. It does not provide us with a critical path showing the dependencies between the tasks or the milestones in the in each process. It also
