EXERCISE ON PERT-CPM

1. The activities and time estimates for a particular project are as follows:

Immediate time
  in days    

ACTIVITY Predecessor To Tm Tp Te

A - 7 8 15

B A 10 11 12

C A,B 5 7 9

D B, C 11 14 17

E D 5 7 9

F E 5 7 11

a. Construct the network diagram:

What is the critical path and expected project completion time? ANS.
 b. Determine the expected projected completion time and critical path.
c. Using te, determine the earliest and latest activity times and slack times. Given ES=0 and
EF=LF.

Activity te LS ES LF EF Slack CP?

d. Using te as the Normal time, compute determine an optimum crashing plan.
