Consider a project to produce custom door moldings for GMC Acadia cross-over vehicles, described in the following table. Activity START Activity Time (weeks) Immedia Predecessor(s) START START MOU) ONWNTO ou FINISH a. If you start the project immediately, when will it be finished? Start First, draw the network diagram for the project using the given information. Note that the Immediate Predecessor(s) column indicates the precedence relationships. If activity X is a predecessor of activity Y, then activity Y cannot start until activity X has been completed, and we indicate this with an arrow that goes from X to Y on the network diagram. Also, we indicate the activity time of each activity below the corresponding activity. The critical path is the sequence of activities between a project's start and finish that takes the longest time to complete Which path is the critical path and what is the duration of the project? The critical path is path A-E-F and the project duration is 19 weeks. b. You are interested in completing your project as soon as possible. You have only one option. Suppose you could assign Employee A, currently assigned to Activity G, to help Employee B, currently assigned to Activity F. Each week that Employee A helps Employee B will result in Activity G increasing its time by one week and Activity F reducing its time by one week. How many weeks should Employee A work on Activity F? First, note that activity G is on a path with 8 weeks of slack. However each week Employee A spends at Activity F, F's time goes down a week while G's goes up a week. Consequently, assigning Employee A to Activity F for 4 weeks will result in two critical paths: A-E-F and A-E-G, both with duration of 15 weeks. Assigning Employee A to Activity F for any more time than that will actually increase the project's time from the low of 15 weeks. Thus, Employee A should work 4 weeks on Activity F and the project's duration will be reduced to 15 weeks.
