Question:
A project manager discovers that his team has neglected to complete the network diagram for the project. The network diagram is shown in Figure P12–28. However, the project manager has some information available, specifically that each activity, labeled A–G, has a different duration between one and seven weeks. Also, the slack time for each of the activities is known as shown below.
Duration (weeks): 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Slack time (weeks): 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 3, 7
Using the clues provided below, determine the duration of each activity as well as the early start, early finish, latest start, and latest finish times for each activity.
Clues
1. Activity E is the longest duration activity and is on the critical path, which is the unlucky number 13; also, there is only one critical path.
2. The early finish (EF) time for activity F is eleven weeks.
3. The latest start (LS) time for activity D is nine weeks.
4. If activity A slips by one week, it will be on a criticalpath.
