 Network exercise with time
Construct a PERT/CPM network for a project with the
following activities and times:
Activity Immediate Time
Predecessor (months)
A - 4
B - 6
C A 2
D A 6
E C, B 3
F C, B 3
G D, E 5
a) Find the critical path for this project network.

 PATH A,D AND G
b) This project must be complete in 1 1/2 years; do you
anticipate difficulty in meeting the deadline? Explain.
NO PROBLEM AT ALL SINCE THE DIAGRAM SHOWS THE PROJECT IS EXPECTED TO
FINISH EARLIEST THAN THE DEADLINE

a. Identify the critical path.PATH A,D,F AND H

b. How long will it take to complete this project?22 WEEKS
c. Can activity D be delayed without delaying the entire project?
How about activity C? If so, how many weeks?
9
 NO IF “D’ IS DELAYED ENTIRE PROJECT WILL BE DELAYED BECAUSE THE DIAGRAM
SHOWS THAT THIS ENTER THE CRITICAL PATH.
“C” CAN BE DELAYED FOR 2 WEEKS ONLY
d. What is the schedule for activity E?
ACTIVITY TAKES 7 WEEKS TO COMPLETE

A project involving the installation of a computer system consists
of eight activities. The immediate predecessor and activity time
in weeks are shown below:
Activity Immediate Time

a. Draw the PERT/CPM network for this project.ATTACHED
BELOW
b. What are the critical path activities? PATH B,D,E,F AND H
c. What is the expected project completion time? 21 WEEKS
