Assignment 4 (Crashing)
Qno. 1. Define terms ‘direct cost ’,‘ indirect cost ’and ‘outage losses’.
The project overhead costs are @ Rs. 300.0 per day and there is an outage loss of Rs.
100 per day upto and including 11th day and Rs. 200 per day thereafter, Find total
cost duration relationship. Also plot direct cost curve and indirect cost curve in the graph.
Qno. 4. From the given table below, find project’s minimum cost and time corresponding to
min. cost.
Normal Duration Normal Cost Crash Duration Crash cost
Activity
(weeks) (Rs.) (weeks) (Rs.)
1-2 6 7000 3 14500
1-3 8 4000 5 8500
2-3 4 6000 1 9000
2-4 5 8000 3 15000
3-4 5 5000 3 11000
The overhead cost of project is Rs. 3000 per week. Draw time-scale curve for
each stages.
Qno. 5. Determine the minimum cost and optimum duration for a project network.
The duration and cost of each activity of the project is given in the following table. The
indirect cost of the project is Rs. 800 per day. Draw the time scaled version of the network.
