TopicCritical Path Analysis

1 Figure 1 below shows an activity diagram for a construction project. The time needed for each activity is given in days.
  1. Find the earliest start time and latest finish time for each activity and insert their values on Figure 1.
  2. Find the critical paths and state the minimum time for completion of the project.
  3. On Figure 2 opposite, draw a cascade diagram (Gantt chart) for the project, assuming that each activity starts as early as possible.
  4. A delay in supplies means that Activity \(I\) takes 9 days instead of 2 .
    1. Determine the effect on the earliest possible starting times for activities \(K\) and \(L\).
    2. State the number of days by which the completion of the project is now delayed.
