PART $3(25\%$ of the assignment$)$

Case Study

A Teesside PLC has won a contract to work on a major Project to start on $1$st November $2024.$ As a Project Manager you need to develop and analyse the planning schedule for this project using MS$-$Project. Your project team has identified major activities of the project, their dependency and resources needed to run each activity $($see Appendix $1).$

Appendix $1$ provides information about the project,

$1.$ Produce and draw smoothed resource histograms for the skilled labour resources used in the project. Critically assess the output identifying the maximum units of each resource required for this project.

$2.$ Carry$-$out resource levelling for Unskilled resource only $($do not use automatic resource levelling$)$ and discuss how activities might be delayed beyond LST to cater for the limits on Unskilled resources as a result of levelling. Consider resource pool for unskilled resources as $7$ units per day.

$3.$ Explainanddiscusstheprocessofresourcelevelling.

C: Cost Analysis $(5\%$ of the assignment$)$

$1.$ Calculatethecostofeachactivityintheproject$($level$3).$Considerthestandardcost of a skilled labour as $20/$hr$,$ unskilled labour as $10/$hr and equipment as $50/$hr$.$

$2.$ Producecumulativecost$-$timecurvefortheproject.

answer each question and explain the step byy step procedure to do the histogram and produce cummulative cost
