Please Complete Part A #'s 1-5
Part 1 You are a member of a project team assigned to develop the new razor scooter code named Red Zuma. Table A2.5 contains the information necessary to create a project schedule. For the purpose of this case assume the following: TABLE A2.5 Red Zuma: Project Schedule ID Task Name Duration Predecessors Customize and control 1 1 Red Zuma Project 260 days 2 1.1 Market Analysis 25 days 3 1.2 Product Design 30 days 2 4 1.3 Manufacturing Study 20 days 2 5 1.4 Product Design Selection 10 days 3,4 6 1.5 Detailed Marketing Plan 15 days 5 7 1.6 Manufacturing Process 30 days 5 8 1.7 Detailed Product Design 45 days 5 9 1.8 Build Prototypes 25 days 8 10 1.9 Lab Test Prototypes 10 days 9 11 1.10 Field Test Prototypes 15 days 9 12 1.11 Finalized Product Design 20 days 7,10,11 13 1.12 Final Manufacturing Process 10 days 12 14 1.13 Order Components 7 days 12 15 1.14 Order Production Equipment 14 days 13 16 1.15 Install Production Equipment 35 days 14FS+20 days, 15FS+30 days 17 1.16 Celebrate 1 days 6, 16 TABLE A2.6 Red Zuma Project Resources $ Number available Marketing specialist $80,000/yr 4 Design engineer $125,000/yr 4 Development engineer $110,000/yr 4 Industrial engineer $100,000/yr 4 Purchasing agent $75,000/yr 2 Test rider $70/hr 4 TABLE A2.7 Red Zuma Resource Assignments Task Name Resource Names Red Zuma Project Market Analysis Marketing Specialist [400%] Product Design Marketing Specialist, Design Engineer [400%], Development Engineer [200%], Industrial Engineer, Purchasing Agent Manufacturing Study Industrial Engineer [400%], Development Engineer [200%] Product Design Selection Marketing Specialist [200%], Design Engineer [300%], Development Engineer [200%], Industrial Engineer [200%], Purchasing Agent [25%] Detailed Marketing Plan Marketing Specialist (400%] Manufacturing Process Design Engineer, Development Engineer [200%], Industrial Engineer [300%] Detailed Product Design Marketing Specialist [200%], Design Engineer [400%], Development Engineer [200%], Industrial Engineer [200%], Purchasing Agent [25%] Build Prototypes Design Engineer [200%], Development Engineer [200%], Industrial Engineer [400%] Lab Test Prototypes Design Engineer [200%], Development Engineer [200%], Test Rider Field Tests Marketing Specialist, Design Engineer (200%], Development Engineer, Industrial Engineer, Test Rider [300%] Finalized Product Design Marketing Specialist [200%], Design Engineer (300%], Development Engineer [300%], Industrial Engineer [200%], Purchasing Agent [25%] Final Manufacturing Process Industrial Engineer [300%], Design Engineer, Purchasing Agent [25%] Order Components Purchasing Agent Order Production Equipment Purchasing Agent Install Production Equipment Design Engineer, Development Engineer [300%], Industrial Engineer [400%] Celebration Design Engineer (400%], Development Engineer (400%], Industrial Engineer [400%], Marketing Specialist (400%], Purchasing Agent [200%] Note: Resource assignments without brackets are 100%. Part A Prepare a memo that addresses the following questions: Page 646 1. Which if any of the resources are overallocated? 2. Assume that the project is time constrained and try to resolve any overallocation problems by leveling within slack. What happens? 3. What is the impact of leveling within slack on the sensitivity of the network? Include a Gantt chart with the schedule table after leveling within slack. 4. Assume that the project is resource constrained and no additional personnel are available. How long will the project take given the resources assigned? (Hint: Undo leveling performed in Part A before answering this question.) Page 647 Note: No splitting of activities is allowed. 5. How does the new duration compare with the estimated completion date generated from Part 1? What does this tell you about the impact resources can have on a schedule? Include a Gantt chart with a schedule table displaying free and total slack depicting the resource- constrained schedule
