PERT/CPM Network Analysis Guide

The document describes a series of network exercises involving PERT/CPM networks. It provides example networks with activities, predecessors, and time durations. It asks questions about identifying critical paths, expected completion times, and whether delays can be accommodated without delaying the overall project. Key details include identifying critical paths through activities A, D, and G; confirming a project with deadline of 1.5 years can be completed on time; and determining activity C can be delayed 2 weeks without impacting the critical path.

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
