Then we have the following representation for A: A O——® For activity B, the predecessor activity is A. Let us suppose that B Joins nodes 2 and 3. Thus we get | obtain the following Scanned with CamScannerActivity E has Das the predecessor activity, So we get O99 Activity Fhas asthe predecessor activity.

Consider the following parts in the diagram @Q——_ and : a . © We took nodes 6 and 61 as one and the same, Instead, we can retain them as different nodes. Then, in order to provide connectivity to the network, we join nodes 61 and 6 by a dummy activity. Then we arrive atthe following diagram for the project network: Start event g OO dummy activity End event | Scanned with CamScannerQuestions on Problem1 \ 1.

We ‘mark the time estimates along the arrows representing the activities. We ‘obtain the following diagram: D @ End event Start event 2) Consider/the paths, beginning with the start node and stopping with the end node. There are two such paths for the given project. They are as follows: Path I O+-O--O--O-+8 with a time of 3 +5 +10 +4=22 weeks, Path IL O-0O--O+O-© with a time of 3+74+5 +4 = 19 weeks. ‘Compare the times for the two paths. Maximum of {22,19} = 22, We see that path | has the maximum time of 22 weeks. Therefore, path Is the critical path, The critical activities are A, B, D and F. The project completion time is 22 weeks, ‘Time for path - Time for path II = 22-1 We notice that C and E are non- critical acti 3 weeks, ‘Therefore, together the non- critical activities can be delayed up to a maximum of 3 weeks, without delaying the completion of the whole project.

Maximum of {42, 43, 45, 47) = 47. We see that the following path has the maximum time __ and so it is the critical path: saccainiiines — Scanned with CamScannerThe critical activities are C, F, J and L. The non-critical activities are A,B, D, E, G, H, Land K.
