Answer :
: From the given information, AON project network diagram will be drawn first. From the project network diagram, activity schedule is determined. Using the activity schedule, Slack time of each activity is calculated. The activities with
0 slack time forms the critical path and the total length of the critical path forms the total completion time of the project.
(a) From the given information, AON project network is drawn as below:
From the network diagram, ES, EF, LS, LF are computed as,
ES - Earliest Start
EF - Earliest Finish
LS - Latest Start
LF - Latest Finish
In forward pass,
In backward pass,
The values of ES, EF, LS, LF and Slack are summarized in the table below:
(c) Critical path consists of activities with same (ES and LS) or same (EF and LF) or slack = 0
Critical path = B - C - E - H
