CPM 2

This document contains three project management scenarios with activities, durations, predecessors and questions about critical paths, floats, and impacts of changes. For the first scenario, tasks C, F, G and K are asked about. The second asks about tasks E, F, H and J. The third asks about calculating critical paths and floats for tasks C, D, G and J, and impacts of delays to tasks H and G and a shortened duration for task I.

Project Management

1. Schedules and activities of a project are shown below. Answer the questions. Activity Predecessor(s) Duration (days) Activity Predecessor(s) Duration (days) A 4 G B 2 B 3 H C, E, G 6 C 2 I H 8 D A 3 J C 4 E D 5 K J 7 F D 3 L F, I, K 3 Questions: a) Draw CPM chart and show, which tasks are on the critical path? b) What is the total and free slack for tasks C, F, G and K? c) The person working on task K tells the PM he cant start work until two days after the schedule starting date. What impact would this have on the completion date of the project? Why? 2. Schedules and activities of a project are shown below. Answer the questions.

(a) Draw a network diagram and find the critical path and project completion time. (b) Calculate total and free float of the activities C, D, G and J. (c) If $1000 can be saved for each delayed day of activity H, then how much dollar can be saved keeping the project completion time unchanged? (d) Activity G needs a delayed time of two weeks and an extra time of five weeks. Is it possible by keeping the project completion time unchanged? Explain. (e) The PM wants to shorten the duration of the activity I from 11 weeks to 9 weeks. What is the impact of this change on project completion time?
