Addendum to the Case: Managing Hard Rock's Rockfest (Pages# 104-106) First, you must complete the questions (1-4) of the text book shown above. Then transition to Q5 and Q6 below. Q5: Further to Chris Tomasso's expression of surprises, the company has now decided to work on three time estimates in lieu of the deterministic time estimates used before. The company is confident that while the Most Likely Time estimate for each activity will follow the current activity time presented in column #4 for the same activity (see the c-text), the Optimistic Time estimate will be 20% lower than the Most Likely Time Estimate, and the Pessimistic Time will be 30% more than the Most Likely Time Estimate. For instance, activity A that has Most Likely Time estimate of 7 weeks will have an Optimistic Time estimate of 5.60 wecks (7 x 0.80 = 5.60 weeks) and Pessimistic Time estimate of 9.1 weeks X 13 =9.1 weeks). Complete an appropriate chart to show the (a) critical path on an AOA Network, (b) project completion time, (c) probability that project will be completed in less than 33 weeks? Q6: Further to the data provided above for 3 estimates, the management is now contemplating to crash the network to the minimum possible time under the crash cost schedule provided below. (@) What would be the minimum duration of the project under maximum crashing, and (b) what is the corresponding crash cost? (C) If the management wants to crash the project down to 29.85 weeks only, what will be the total cost incurred and corresponding crash schedule? You must submit computer outputs (original) for questions #5 and #6 to eam credits.
