    The critical path for organizing the Big V Concert is activities A, B, C, E, G, and H, which have a total duration of 98 days. Any delays to these critical activities could delay the overall project completion. The project manager will finish organizing the concert by the earliest date of 98 days if all critical activities are completed on time.

    Vilma is the Event Manager of Channel V's Big V Concert and she is tasked to organize the event and

    finish the preparation at the earliest possible time. She was able to determine the sequence of activities
    and the time needed to finish each activity. The figures are summarized in the table.

    When is she going to finish the project? What is the Critical Path?

    Step 1: draw the network

    Activity Predecessor/s Time t (days) Description


    A - 16 Process permits
    B A 22 Organize Team
    C B 12 Book Performers
    D A 20 Reserve Venue
    E C 14 Schedule Rehearsals
    F E 18 Meet the Press
    G D, E 24 Sell Tickets
    Conduct & Evaluate
    H F, G 10
    the Concert

    Step 2: develop the critical path table

    1. Do the forward pass with the earliest start (Se) and the earliest finish (Fe) based on time (t)
    Se = maximum Fe of predecessor/s or 0 if none
    Fe = Se + t

    Activity A: Se = 0 Fe = 0 + 16 = 16
    Activity B: Se = maximum (16) = 16 Fe = 16 + 22 = 38
    Activity C: Se = maximum (38) = 38 Fe = 38 + 12 = 50
    Activity D: Se = maximum (16) = 16 Fe = 16 + 20 = 36
    Activity E: Se = maximum (50) = 50 Fe = 50 + 14 = 64
    Activity F: Se = maximum (64) = 64 Fe = 64 + 18 = 82
    Activity G: Se = maximum (36,64) = 64 Fe = 64 + 24 = 88
    Activity H: Se = maximum (82,88) = 88 Fe = 88 + 10 = 98
    2. Do the backward pass with the latest start (Sl) and the latest finish (Fl) based on time (t)
    Fl = maximum Sl of successor/s or maximum Fe if none
    Sl = Fl + t

    Activity H: Fl 98 Sl = 98 - 10 = 88
    Activity G: Fl = minimum (88) = 88 Sl = 88 - 24 = 64
    Activity F: Fl = minimum (88) = 88 Sl = 88 - 18 = 70
    Activity E: Fl = minimum (64,70) = 64 Sl = 64 - 14 = 50
    Activity D: Fl = minimum (64) = 64 Sl = 64 - 20 = 44
    Activity C: Fl = minimum (50) = 50 Sl = 50 - 12 = 38
    Activity B: Fl = minimum (38) = 38 Sl = 38 - 22 = 16
    Activity A: Fl = minimum (44,16) = 16 Sl = 16 - 16 = 0

    3. Compute the slack and determine the critical activities:


    Slack = Fl — Fe
    = critical if 0, not critical if otherwise

    Activity A: = 16 - 16 = 0 = critical
    Activity B: = 38 - 38 =0 = critical
    Activity C: = 50 - 50 = 0 = critical
    Activity D: = 64 - 36 = 28 = not critical
    Activity E: = 64 - 64 = 0 = critical
    Activity F: = 88 - 82 = 6 = not critical
    Activity G: = 88 - 88 = 0 = critical
    Activity H: = 98 - 98 = 0 = critical

    H F, G 10 88 98 88 98 0 YES
    = A+B+C+E+G+H

    = 16 + 22 +12 + 14 + 24 + 10

    = 98

    The earliest time to finish the project is 98 days.

    Step 3: draw the critical path

    Activity Predecessor/s Time t (days) Description


    A - 16 Process permits
    B A 22 Organize Team
    C B 12 Book Performers
    D A 20 Reserve Venue
    E C 14 Schedule Rehearsals
    F E 18 Meet the Press
    G D, E 24 Sell Tickets
    Conduct & Evaluate the
    H F, G 10
    Concert

    Thus, the earliest time to finish the


    project is 98 days.
