(b) Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) is a technique of project management that is used to manage uncertain activities of any project. Data in Table 1 shows the time taken for the construction of medium traffic bridges in Pahang state. Table 1: Time Taken for Construction of Medium Traffic Bridges Activity Time (Days) AB A 43, 50, 55, 58, 50, 50 43, 55, 60, 43, 40, 43 Immediately Preceding Event(s) Start A C 50, 51, 45, 51, 58, 51 B, H D 58, 55, 56, 62, 58, 58 C E F G 41, 59, 41, 40, 41, 55 55, 50, 61, 50, 46, 50 46, 52, 60, 46, 40, 46 D, F C, I Start H 48, 55, 49, 55, 58, 55 G I 57, 59, 57, 62, 57, 55 H J 49, 59, 49, 45, 49, 55 I Considering that for the construction of the bridge's activity, by using the PERT Analysis method: i) Determine the optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic time. Also, you need to prove to your client the likelihood that the project will complete in 256 Days. [16 Marks] ii) List the critical path and other THREE (3) alternative paths in the project.
