The OSHA inspectors ordered the mill to alter some existing machinery to make it safer (add safety guards, etc.); purchase some new machinery to replace older, dangerous machinery; and relocate some machinery to make safer passages and unobstructed entrances and exits. OSHA gave the mill only 35 weeks to make the changes; if the changes were not made by then, the mill would be fined $300,000. The mill determined the activities in a CPM/PERT network that would have to be completed and then estimated the indicated activity times, as shown in the following table: Construct the project network for this project and determine the following: a. Expected activity times b. Earliest and latest activity times and activity slack c. Critical path d. Expected project duration and variance e.

Each activity in this network can be crashed by a maximum of 4 weeks. The crashing cost (per week), for the first week (crashing first time), for activity A is: $400, E is $415 and all other activities is : $100 (per week per activity). The crashing cost, second week and onwards(crashing second time), for activity A is $1000 per week, E is $1200 per week and for all other activities is $200 per activity per week.
