Table 1 shows the activities involving a grant related project at national level that recommended for second year students of the Faculty of Defense Engineering, Universiti Pertahanan Malaysia. (a) Construct a project network diagram for Table 1 using the Arrow-On-Nodes (AON) method with all related calculations on the activities of Early Start (ES), Early Finish (EF), Late Start (LS), Late Finish (LF), and Slack (SL). (b) Determine the total completion time and the critical path of the project network diagram. (c) Discuss the impacts on the project completion, if the activity E is delayed.
