Chapter 8 Scheduling Resources & Costs

Assignment:

You are one of three carpenters assigned to complete a short construction project. Right before the start of the project, one of your fellow carpenters is hospitalized and will not be available to work on the project.

Develop a resource-constrained schedule in the loading chat below to see how long the project will take with only two carpenters. Be sure to record the order in which you schedule the activities using the scheduling heuristics. Activities A, B, C, D, E, G and H require two carpenters to complete. Activity F requires only one carpenter. No splitting of activities is possible. You will receive a bonus if the project is completed within 15 days. Should you start planning how you will spend your bonus?

Project Length:

Will you receive a bonus (Yes or No):
