I identified the following critical paths:

The following Project Network Paths have been identified:

Path 1: B - D - G - H = 8 +8 + 8+ 5 = 29 weeks

Path 2: A - C - E - G - H = 5 +5 + 7+ 8 +5 = 30 weeks

Path 3: A - C - F - H = 5 +5 + 6+ 5 = 21 weeks

Complete the table above (i.e., "Maximum Crashed Cost", "Number of Potential Crash Durations", and "Crash Cost per Period"), and use the information to conduct project crashing.

• Using the three project networks paths (see previous page) and the project crashing ledger (see next page), show each step of the project crashing protocol to reduce the project from 30 to 26 weeks in the cheapest manner possible.
  • Please show the details for each step. For example, if you need to analyze either selecting one common activity or multiple activities unique to each critical path, please show this analysis at each step.
  • Documentation of each correct step is worth a total of 12 points (e.g., project crashing ledger, or a detailed process of your choosing).
  • Note: 8-point penalty for not choosing the cheapest approach.
• After you have completed the project crashing, please identify the following:
• Final project network paths with updated activity and path times (after crashing); you may neatly show this part using the updated paths on the previous page
• Final critical path(s) (3 points)
• Total project crashing cost (3 points)
• If you had a project crashing budget of only $3,000, what is the shortest time you could complete the project? Which activities would you crash and what would be the total crash cost?

Updated Project Crashing Ledger: (12 points)
