There are 2 resources that are over allocated (R&D and marketing staff) and 4 activities (Shelf life report, nutrition report, market testing and select distributors) that have resources over allocated.

Need assistance with detailed analysis and explanation to the following questions:

  1. For each resource that is over allocated, explain when and by how much they are over allocated
  2. Resource graph to show the over allocation for each activity and by how many percentage or duration with an explanation
  3. Assume that the project is time constrained and try to resolve any over allocation problems by levelling within slack. Give a detailed report of what happens? (note: the project duration should still be 140 days when once you have levelled inside of slack)
  4. What is the impact of levelling within slack on the sensitivity of the network? Explain what this is?
  5. Assume the project is resource constrained and resolve any over allocation by levelling outside of slack. Give a detailed report of what happens?
