with Sandra Mitchell

Network Diagramming, Example 1:

Activity Preceding Activities Duration in Days


A Start 9
B A, C 3
C Start 13
D C 9
E D 2
F E 10
G F 11
H B, G 3

1. Which path is the critical path and what is its duration?


2. What is the slack/float for activity B?
3. Which path has the longest slack?
4. What is the slack of the path in question 3?
5. If activity B slips from 3 days to 6 days, what is the critical path?
6. With the duration adjustment in question 5, what is the new slack of activity B?

Network Diagramming, Example 2:

A Start 8
B A 4
C A 10
D B, C 2
E D 2

3. What is the slack/float for activity B?
4. If activity E now takes 4 instead of 2, how has the critical path changed?
5. Based on the information in question 4, what is the new critical path and what is its duration?

Network Diagram 1 Example Answers

Start-A-B-H-Finish = 15
Start-C-B-H-Finish = 19
Start-C-D-E-F-G-H-Finish = 48 (CP)

1. Which path is the critical path and what is its duration?


A-B-H=15
C-B-H=19
C-D-E-F-G-H=48 (CP)

2. What is the slack/float for activity B? 29


3. Which path has the longest slack? A-B-H
4. What is the slack of the path in question 3? 33
5. If Activity B slips from 3 days to 6 days, what is the critical path? Critical path stays the same.
6. With the duration adjustment in question 5, what is the new slack of activity B? 26

A-B-D-F-H-I=19
A-B-D-G-H-I=20
A-C-D-E-H-I=25 + 2 =27
A-C-D-F-H-I=25
A-C-D-E-H-I=26 (CP)
2. What is the slack/float for activity F? 1
3. What is the slack/float for activity B? 6
4. If activity E now takes 4 instead of 2, how has the critical path changed?
Critical path changes to A-C-D-E-H-I. It is now 27 days.
5. Based on the information in question 4, what is the new critical path and what is its duration?
A-C-D-E-H-I=27
