To get the minimum completion time, try crashing all activities to its maximum crash time. Then try
crashing activities only on the critical path ( first critical path). Compare the two. If the two
completion times differ, it indicates that the critical path has shifted as a result of crashing all
activities. This happens because crashing some non-critical activities may have created new paths
with durations as long as the original critical path, effectively changing which activities are critical.
In this case, the critical path is not consistent throughout the crashing.

(SINCE MINIMUM COST IS NOT PRIORHIZE ,

YOU CAN CRASH ACTIVITIES SIMULTANEOUSLY

* THERE ARE ALSO X LOT OF COMBINATION OF ACTIVITIES THAT YOU CAN CRASH TO GET 38 WeeK]

a) If AT MINIMUM COST :

To get the minimum completion time, try crashing all activities to its maximum crash time. Then try
crashing activities only on the critical path ( first critical path). Compare the two. If the completion
time for crashing all activities matches the completion time for crashing only the critical activities, it
suggests that the critical path is consistent throughout the crashing process. This means that the
same set of activities continues to determine the project duration, even after crashing.

ANSWER : 24 WEEKS
