HW8-Scheduling - New

This document outlines 10 homework problems related to project scheduling and critical path analysis. The problems involve drawing network diagrams, determining critical paths and slacks, and analyzing the effects of changes to activity durations. They provide examples of projects from paper manufacturing, business center development, building construction, website development, play staging, and general task-based projects. Students are asked to perform network diagramming, calculate event times, identify critical activities, and construct Gantt charts using Microsoft Project.

Homework for Chap8- Project Scheduling

10 Homeworks:

P1. Given the following activities and precedences of the Paper Manufacturing project. Draw an AOA or/and
AON diagram for this project

P2. The Koll Business Center is developing the project with the activities as shown below table

1) Develop a network diagram for this problem


2) What is the critical path?
3) What is the slack time for each individual activity?

P3
Find:
1) The AOA network and the critical path.
2) All event slacks.
3) Critical path to event D.
4) Critical path probability of completion in 14 days.
5) The effect if CD slips to 6 days; to 7 days; to 8 days.

P4: The Denver Iron & Steel Company is expanding its operations to include a new drive-in weigh station. The
weigh station will be a heated/air-conditioned building with a large floor and small office. The large room will
have the scales, a 15-foot counter, and several display cases for its equipment. Before erection of the building,
the project manager evaluated the project using AON analysis. The activities with their corresponding times
were recorded in Table A.

Using AON analysis, find:


1) the critical path
2) the slack times, and
3) the expected completion time.

P5: The events of the project below are designated as 1, 2, and so on.

Find:
1) Draw the network.
2) Find the critical path.
3) Find the slacks on all the activities
P6: Given the following network (times are in weeks), determine:

Determine:
1) The ES, LS, EF, and LF for each activity.
2) The slacks on all activities.
3) The critical activities and path

P7: In the website development project network shown in the following figure, the number alongside each
activity designates the activity duration (TE) in weeks.

Determine:
1) The ES and LS for each activity.
2) The earliest time that the website can be completed.
3) The slack on all activities.
4) The critical activities.
5) The critical path.
P8 Given the following activities required for staging a community play on Independence Day,

Questions:
1) Construct an AON diagram.
2) Determine the earliest completion time for the play and the critical path.
3) Based on the critical path, what completion date are you 80% confident of achieving? 40% confident?
4) Will a 1-day delay in this project be serious?

P9. In the following table are listed tasks, duration in weeks, and predecessors.

Questions:
(a) Construct a Gantt chart using MSP.
(b) Assuming the default 5-day workweek, calculate the critical path of the project.
(c) Calculate the project duration.
P10. In the following table, project activities in days are listed with three time estimates for duration in days
and predecessors for the activities.

Questions:
1) Calculate the expected time of each activity using MSP.
2) Construct a Gantt chart using MSP.
3 Use MSP to draw a network diagram.
