 Car Assembly Project

A = Start
B = Design
C = Order Special Accessories
D = Build Frame
E = Build Doors
F = Attach Axles , Wheels , Fuel Tank
G = Build Body Shell
H = Build Transmission and Drivetrain
I = Fit Door to Body Shell
J = Build Engine
K = Batch test Engine
L = Assemble Chassis
M = Road test chassis
N = Paint Body
O = Install Wiring
P = Install Interior
Q = Accept delivery of special accessories
R = Mount Body and accessories on chassis
S = Road test car
T = Attach exterior Trim
U = Finish

Calculate Duration for each path , to find Critical Path,

Root: A,B,J,K,L,M,R,S,T,U = 0+8+4+21+0.5+1+0.5+1+1 = 19 =Critical Path

Root: A, B, C, Q, R, S, T, U, = 0+8+0.1+5+1+0.5+1+1+ = 16.6

Root: A, B, D, F, L, M, R, S, T, U = 0+8+1+1+1+0.5+1+0.5+1+1= 15

Root: A ,B ,E ,I ,N ,O ,R ,S ,T ,U = 0+8+1+1+2+1+1+0.5+1+1= 16.5

Root: A ,B ,E ,I ,N ,P ,R ,S ,T ,U = 0+8+1+1+2+1.5+1+0.5+1+1 17

Root: A ,B ,G ,I ,N ,O ,R ,S ,T ,U = 0+8+2+1+2+1+1+0.5+1+1 17.5

Root: A ,B ,G ,I ,N ,P ,R ,S ,T ,U = 0+8+2+1+2+1.5+1+0.5+1+1 18

Root: A ,B ,H ,L ,M ,R ,S ,T ,U = 0+8+3+1+0.5+1+0.5+1+1 16

Critical Path is the longest path of the network diagram.

In this case Root: A,B,J,K,L,M,R,S,T,U = 19 day is the critical path

Earliest start time is the earliest time an activity can start, once previous depending activity is
finished.

Earliest finish time is earliest start + duration

Latest finish time is the late test time an activity can finish without delay the overall project.

The Last start time is late finish duration

The Float is the time for an activity between the earliest finish and latest finish time.
