Question
***MUST ANSWER ALL PARTS, THANK YOU!
Egon Spengler is planning a charity benefit gala for his “Save the City” campaign. However, because one of his partners, Peter Venkman, has difficulty staying on task, the project is scheduled and they are running out of time. Egon has used project management principles to lay out the task relationships and he finds that if they follow the traditional schedule, as outlined below, they will not have enough time to get everything done before the weekend of the gala. Egon has created a list of tasks, their time requirements, and their relationships. He has also begun a network diagram, but needs to know what to do next. He knows that he needs to reduce the total time by six weeks. Use this data for 17-26.
What is the slack time for activity G?
What is the earliest start time for activity I?
What is the latest finish time for activity F?
Which of the following is the critical path at the beginning of the analysis?
What is the first activity that Egon should crash?
Activity D can be crashed how many times?
What is the minimum completion time for the project after crashing (until no more crashing is possible)?
If Egon has a budget of only $3,000 for crashing costs, what is the shortest possible completion time?
How much will it cost Egon to reduce the original total project time by six weeks ?
How much did crashing that last (sixth) week cost Egon?
