Consider the following information about a small project:

Use the table below:

Find a cost-effective way to reduce the completion time by 3 days.

What is the critical path by forward and backward paths? ABDG

For the tasks that are not on the critical path, task F has the longest slack.

Following the previous question, the task with the longest slack has a slack of 5 days.

The duration of the project is 25 days.

1.

Step 1: Accelerate task(s) ____ day(s)

2.

Step 2: Accelerate task(s) ____ day(s)

3.

Step 3: Accelerate task(s) ____ day(s)

C	8	A	7	$7,000
D	6	B	3	$6,000
E	7	C	6	$6,000
