The Taco Iron & Steel Company is expanding its operations in Maharashtra to include a new
drive-in weigh station. The weigh station will be a heated / air-conditioned building with a large
floor and small office. The large room will have the scales, a 1.5 foot counter, and several display
cases for its equipment, Before erection of the building, the project manager evaluated the
project using PERT / CPM analysis. The activities with their corresponding times were recorded
in the table below: (MAY 2018 Q 5 ~ 10 Marks)
