Q Consider a project having the following six activities:
Immediate Max Crash cost
Activity Predecessors Time (weeks) Crash* per week
A E, F 4 2 $2000
B A 6 2 $1000
C A, D 5 2 $1250
D F 3 2 $1000
E none 5 2 $500
F none 6 6 N/A
*Shortest possible time for the task
- Draw the project network and list the earliest start (ES), earliest finish (EF), latest start (LS) and latest finish (LF) for each task
- List the tasks on the critical path
- What is the expected project duration in weeks?
- What is the slack for each activity?
A: B: C D: E: F:
