Consider a project with the activities durations and precedence relations depicted in the table below

1 Draw the network diagram

2 What is(are) the current critical path(s)?

3 Assume that all activity times are certain. We can crash any of the activities A, E, H and I by 1 week (i.e., reduce the activity time by one week). The costs of doing it are $10k for activity A, $15k for activity E, $5k for activity H and $20k for activity I. If we want to reduce the project duration by 1 week, which activity we should crash?

e. By how much we can reduce the duration of the activity G without introducing any new critical paths?

by 1 week (that is, new time will be 6 weeks)

by 2 weeks (that is, new time will be 5 week)

by 3 weeks (that is, new time will be 4 weeks)

We cannot reduce G without introducing new critical paths

Activity Immediate Predecessor Duration, weeks
A - 3
B A 4
C A 2
D B, C 6
E C 5
F C 3
G E 7
H E, F 5
I D, G, H
