    1) The document discusses calculating a project buffer for a schedule where safety time has been reduced by 50%. It lists the safety time for 6 tasks totaling 65 days, so the project buffer should be around half of that, or 33.5 days. Alternatively, using the square root of the sum of the squared task durations gives a buffer of 30.6 days. 2) It notes that Paul may be a constraint as his task directly precedes Peter's with no buffer. 3) Two different scheduling methods, SSQ and the same SSQ method, give total project durations of 77.6 days and 61.6 days respectively for Problem 1.

    PROBLEM #1

    1) If safety time has been removed and it has been reduced by 50% of the
    scheduled then the different safety time for tasks is as follows:
    a. 24 days
    b. 11 days
    c. 8 days
    d. 4 days
    e. 9 days
    f. 9 days
    This would total to 65 days safety time. So the project buffer should be
    somewhere around half which would mean approximately 33.5 days.
    2) We square the duration of the tasks so it would be (24 2+112+82+42+92+92)
    and the answer would be a project buffer of about 30.6 days.
    3) I feel that Paul would be the constraint here because it jumps straight from
    him to peter and there is no buffer.
    4)

    Using the SSQ method the duration would be 77.6 days

    Using the same SSQ method the duration would be 61.6 days
    PROBLEM #2
    1)

    2) The constrained resources would be time, and as far as people it would be Al


    for task D, and Sue and Al for task E.
    3)

    Total project duration would be 12 days without the project buffer on


    the end

    Total project duration would be 12 days as well without the project


    buffer as well.
    4) There would be the feeder buffers that I have noted as well as a project buffer
    at the end.
