Network Diagram Model Evaluation - please insert a copy of excel network diagram

Based on the information below, use Excel drawing tools to create a task network diagram based on the "Production Steps" below. To clarify this information, assume that following:

1. The "Cover marketing created" task is a successor to the "First edit" task.
2. The "Printer selection" task is a successor to the "Interior Layout (Pagination)" task.
3. The "Project sent to printer" task is a successor to the "Printer selection" task.

Production Steps 1. Manuscript received: This is the starting point of the production process. The author of the manuscript sends the completed manuscript to the ME. If the author misses the agreed-upon deadline, the production process suffers.

2. First edit: At this stage, the editor reviews the manuscript to see whether it is worth publishing. Then a thorough reading of the manuscript is done to make sure the story is logical and complete. Also, any writing style changes are done here.

3. Second edit: Following the first edit, the manuscript is reviewed a second time with a focus on readability and punctuation. At the completion of this step, the manuscript is considered clean and ready to be flowed into the final layout of the book.

4. Interior design and art creation: In this step, the AD creates an interior design that matches the books unique features. For instance, if the book is about soccer, the AD tries to pick a type font and other features that would appeal to this particular audience. The AD might choose to add soccer balls with numbers in them as the folios (page numbers). Any interior art, such as photographs or pictures, is also created. These tasks are initiated after the first edit is completed.

5. Cover art: The front cover art is one of the most important tasks for the AD. Typically, he creates up to a dozen different designs for each project. This task starts also after the first edit is completed, meaning that the AD is handling two important design tasks simultaneously.

6. Interior layout (pagination): In this step, the AAD flows the edited manuscript onto the blank pages of the book. The interior design and art are also added during this stage, meaning they have to be complete by this stage. The second edit also needs to be finished.

7. Final proofread before printing: After the interior of the book is completed, the book is sent back to the ME or AE for one final read-through. This is the last chance to make changes before sending the project to the printer.

8. Cover marketing created: The marketing department usually takes charge of developing copy for the dust jacket including back cover copy and the inside flap copy. This is a very important task because customers are motivated to purchase books through back cover and flap copy. These areas explain why the book is appealing to a particular audience.

9. Creation of dust jacket design: Based on the cover art and the cover marketing, the AD creates a look that matches the front cover art and completes the design of the dust jacket.

10. Printer selection: The PM starts looking for the right printer to print each particular job. At some point in the production process, a printer whose production schedule can accommodate the job has to be selected. As printers vary in their production capabilities, this decision is best made after the interior layout is completed. A printers production capabilities are generally categorized as one-color books, four-color books, softcover books, standard size books (6 9 inches), oversize books, short run (fewer than 5,000 copies per run) or long run (more than 5,000 copies per run).

11. Project sent to printer: When the final edit and the dust jacket are completed, the book is sent to the printer by the PM.

12. Creation of galley proofs: After the initial work is done by the printer, a galley proof (basically a printed test version of the book) is created.

13. Galley approval: The ME or AE performs a final review of the book. This is the last chance to make any changes or correct possible errors.

14. Printing: The book is printed by the printer of choice and shipped to the warehouse.

15. Receiving the project from the printer: This is always an exciting event, with all stakeholders celebrating when a new project is completed and prepared for distribution.

16. Project shipped to booksellers: In the last step in the production process, books are delivered to the bookstores. This task is completed by the warehouse staff under the supervision of the WM.
