Question

pls answer 5, and 6

A bike shop is behind on a custom bike and needs to perform some crashing of the 8-step
project. Given the project table below (show all your analyses):
Q1. Show the project's network and indicate a critical path (or, critical paths, if more than one
path exist) on it (based on the Normal Duration hours).
Q2. Find the shortest time to finish this project.
Q3. Calculate a slack time for each activity.
Q4. Explain how the shop could crash the project by 10 hours (compared to the shortest time
found in Q2 above) at the lowest possible cost. Specify which activities should be crashed, by
how much, at what cost, and in what sequence. What is the total cost of such crashing? Fully
explain your analysis.
Q5. Based on the data provided, is it possible to finish this project in 27 hours? Specify which
activities should be crashed, by how much, at what cost, and in what sequence, while trying to
minimize the total cost of crashing. What is the total cost of such crashing? Fully explain your
analysis.
Q6. Can you determine the absolute shortest time to finish this project (i.e., after having
performed a maximum crashing possible)? What is the total cost of such crashing? Fully explain
your analysis.
