The initial AON diagram for a small engineering project is shown below with
its planned activity times in weeks.
At the end of the 5th week, the field progress report gives you the following
information:
 Activities “B, C, D and E” have been completed on schedule.
 Activity “F” is ready to start at the beginning of the week 6.
 Remaining duration of activity “H” is 4 weeks.
 Remaining duration of activity “I” is 3 weeks.
 Activity “G” will not start until end of week 7.
 Volume of work in activity “L” has been increased by 33% approximately.
 Activity “J” has been omitted
 It is decided to shorten activity “K” by 2 weeks.
Construct the updated schedule indicating the critical path and showing new
activities times.
