Analytic Exercise - Product Design Project, Questions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

The document describes a project network diagram with activities and their start and finish times. It notes that the minimum time to complete all activities is 40 weeks. The critical path activities that must finish on time are P1, P2, P3, P4, S1, D2, D4, I1, I3, I4, and V2. Some non-critical path activities have slack time of between 1 to 6 weeks. Parallelizing some subprojects could reduce the total project time to either 29 weeks or 20 weeks depending on whether a new subproject is added or not.

1.

Drawing of Project Networks that includes all the activities mentioned above is as follows:

2. - The start and finish time for all activities could be seen on every circle of activities as shown in the Project Networks above, with information as below:

ES EF Legend:
ES = Early Start
A (D) EF = Early Finish
LS LF LS = Late Start
LF = Late Finish
A = Activity
(D) = Duration of Activity
* All duration in this case is in WEEK
- The minimum number of weeks to complete the project activities as shown at the last activity (V2 : contract negotiation) is 40 Weeks
- The activities in the project that are critical path for completing the project in the shortest time (which the ES = LS or EF = LF) are:
P1; P2; P3; P4; S1; D2; D4; I1; I3; I4; V2. (From the Project Networks above, we can notice the critical activities those are in red circle).
3. Activities have slack (not on the project critical path; we mark in yellow circle), are:
- S2, slack = 22-16 = 28-22 = 6 week(s)
- D1, slack = 22-21 = 23-22 = 1 week(s)
- D3, slack = 22-21 = 23-22 = 1 week(s)
- V1, slack = 28-22 = 38-32 = 6 week(s)
- I2, slack = 26-23 = 30-27 = 3 week(s)
4. If we parallel the subproject, the CPM result will be

The total time to finish the project will be 29 weeks


5. If we add subproject P5 in project P which is 12 weeks, the CPM result will be
The total time to finish the project will be 20 weeks
