- Mueller & Associates is a urban planning firm that is designing a new public park in an Omaha suburb. Coordination of the architect and subcontractors will require a major effort to meet the 45-week completion date requested by the owner. The Mueller project manager prepared the following project network. A project network with 10 activities and 14 directed arcs is shown. Activity Start is connected to activity A. Activity A is connected to activity B, to activity C, and to activity D. Activity B is connected to activity F. Activity C is connected to activity E and to activity F. Activity D is connected to activity E. Activity E is connected to activity G and to activity Finish. Activity F is connected to activity G and to activity H. Activity G is connected to activity H. Activity H is connected to activity Finish. Activity Finish has no arcs directed to other activities. Estimates of the optimistic, most probable, and pessimistic times (in weeks) for the activities are as…arrow_forwardThe managers at AllBirds have operations in multiple countries, which operate on different financial management systems.

- Suppose you are the project manager for the following project: First, draw a network diagram for the project. Determine the critical path and slack times for all of the tasks. This completes your plan for the project schedule. During project execution, you become aware of the need to change the duration of Task 4 to five days. Meanwhile, Task 3 has been finished one day early, so it only took one day to do. What, if any, effects do these changes have on your project? What would have happened if you had not been monitoring the status of the project?arrow_forwardUse the Program Evaluation and Review Technique to represent the project in an activity network. In conjunction with the Critical Path Method, use the activity network to find the shortest time possible to complete the project, to identify the critical jobs in the project, and to determine the earliest and latest that each activity can start and finish without making the project completion longer.a=1, b=1, c=6, d=5, e=2, f=5; andab=1x1=1, bc=1x6=6, cd=6x5=30, de=5x2=10, ef=2x5=10, af=1x5=5.arrow_forwardEvent Event Predecessor Time A - 2 B A 6 C A 4 D A 2 E B 4 F B;C;D 5 G B 3 H E;F 2 Based on table above : a) create the network planning b) identification of the critical path c) project time requirementsarrow_forward
