    The document presents a schedule for a project with activities A through E and calculates the early start, late start, and slack for each activity. It then provides additional information on crash costs per day for each activity and asks to determine the minimum cost way to crash activities to meet a deadline of 10 days. Crashing activities A by 2 days and D by 1 day for a total cost of $350 meets the deadline at minimum cost. Partial crashing is deemed an appropriate assumption. A second schedule with activities A through I is presented with crash limits, critical paths, and the optimal crashing of activities A, G, and F to meet a deadline of 16 days at a cost of $490 is determined.

    a)Construct a schedule showing:

    A 7 B 7

    0 7 7 10
    10 12
    Start
    E 2 Finish
    0 6 6 9 10 12

    C 6 D 3

    1 7 7 10

    · ESs for all activities:


    · LSs for all activities
    · Slacks for all activities
    Activity LS ES Slack
    A 0 0 0
    B 7 7 0
    C 1 0 1
    D 7 6 1
    E 10 10 0
    b) Given the following
    1. Find the crash cost per day.
    Crash cost−Normal cos t
    Crash cost of any activity =
    Normal time−Crash time

    Crash cost per day for A = (800−500) /(7−4) = $100


    Crash cost per day for B = (350−200)/(3−2) = $150
    Crash cost per day for C = (900−500) /(6−4) = $200
    Crash cost per day for D = (500−200) /(3−1) = $150
    Crash cost per day for E = (550−300) /(2−1) = $250
    2. Which activities should be crashed to meet a project deadline of 10 days with a
    minimum cost? Assume partial crashing.
    To meet a project deadline of 10 days=> we need to cut 2 working days ( must crash the project
    from 12 days to 10 days)
     ↓ day (first time): Activities A, B, and E on the critical path  minimum crash cost per
    day of $100  crash activity A by 1 day  the project completion time to 11 days 
    the cost is an additional $100.
     After decreasing one day, at this time the project appears to add a new critical path
    that is C – D – E, it also has a project completion time of 11 days. Therefore, to crash
    the project for 10 days we need to crash both of these critical paths.

     ↓ day (second time):


    + The minimum crash cost per day of A, B, E of $100  crash activity A by more 1 day the
    project completion time to 10 days  the cost is an additional $100.
    +The minimum crash cost per day of C, D, E of $150  crash activity D by 1 day  the project
    completion time to 10 days  the cost is an
    additional $150.
    Total crashing cost would be $350 ($200 to reduce activity A by 2 days and $150 to reduce
    activity D by one day.)
    The total completion time would be 10 days.
    3. Find the new cost.
    We have: The new cost = total normal cost + crashing cost
    - Total normal cost = 500+200+500+200+300= $1700
    - Crashing cost = $350
    The new cost =1700 + 350 = $2050
    4. Is, partial crashing an appropriate assumption in this kind of project?
    Yes, partial crashing is an appropriate assumption in this kind of project because it helps the
    project to shorten the execution time and the crashing cost of each activity has not reached
    the maximum increase.

    Critical Paths:
    • A-B-E-I = 3 + 4 + 5 + 2 = 14 days
    • A-C-F-H-I = 3 + 6 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 17 days
    • A-D-G-H-I = 3 + 4 + 7 + 3 + 2 = 19 days
    A is the critical activity with the lowest cost. We perform crashing project as follows:
    • Crashing A by 1 day:
    Total crash cost: $50
    Project duration: 19 - 1 = 18 days
    (A-B-E-I = 2 + 4 + 5 + 2 = 13 days
    A-C-F-H-I = 2 + 6 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 16 days
    A-D-G-H-I = 2 + 4 + 7 + 3 + 2 = 18 days)
    • Crashing G by 1 day:
    Total crash cost: $50 + $120 = $170
    Project duration: 18 - 1 = 17 days
    (A-B-E-I = 2 + 4 + 5 + 2 = 13 days
    A-C-F-H-I = 2 + 6 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 16 days
    A-D-G-H-I = 2 + 4 + 6 + 3 + 2 = 17 days)
    • Crashing G by 1 day:
    Total crash cost: $170 + $120 = $290
    Project duration: 17 - 1 = 16 days
    (A-B-E-I = 2 + 4 + 5 + 2 = 13 days
    A-C-F-H-I = 2 + 6 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 16 days
    A-D-G-H-I = 2 + 4 + 5 + 3 + 2 = 16 days)
    • Project appears 2 critical paths with 16 days, based on existing data we have feasible
    combinations of crashing activities:
    +(G; C) with additional crashing cost is $(120 + 200) = $320
    +(G, F) with additional crashing cost is $(120 + 80) = $200
    +(A), (H), (I), (D, C), (D, F) are rejected because no available time to crash
    => Crashing F and G by 1 day, we have:
    Total crash cost:
    $290 + $200 = $490 > $400
