Apply the Critical Chain Management method to the problem in the next slide and answer the following:

$1.$ Apply the critical chain heuristic to find the critical chain. Submit your answer indicating ALL intermediate steps of the algorithm you used. Draw All intermediate steps using PPT $($as we did in class$),$ or use ruler and pencil legibly. $(30$ points$)$

Step $1.$

Step $2.$

$...$

$2.$ Create feeding and project buffers assuming that each buffer is $50\%$ the length of the path it protects $($i$.$e$.,$ B$=0\mathrm{.}5*$ Path$).(5$ points$)$

$3.$ Put all buffers together in a Gantt chart $($use $5-$day resource buffers$).$ Present you Gantt chart either on PPT or using ruler and pencil. $(5$ points$)$

$4.$ Create feeding and project buffers with $95\%$ confidence assuming that standard deviations are half of the means indicated on the figure $($i$.$e$.,$ B$=$Z$0\mathrm{.}95*\backslash$sigma Path$).(10$ points$)$

$5.$ Put all buffers together in a Gantt chart $($use $5-$day resource buffers$).$ Present you Gantt chart on PPT$.(10$ points$)$

$6.$ Evaluate the quality of the plan produced in Question $5.$ Is it aggressive, repeatable, feasible? $(10$ points$)$

$7.$ Override the heuristic used in Question $1,$ so as to obtain a shorter schedule $($clearly state the changes made accompanied by charts$)(10$ points$).$

$8.$ Identify a new Critical chain and Repeat Question $4$ show all work. $(10$ points$)$

$9.$ Present your new solution on PPT or using ruler and paper. $(5$ points$)$

$10.$ Is the new schedule better $($explain why$)?(5$ points$)$
