Consider the following project activities and determine the resource peak.

Activity Predecessor Duration $($days$)$ Labourers

A $-5200\%$

B A $8600\%$

C A $7800\%$

D A $7800\%$

E A $6300\%$

F B$,$D $2200\%$

G B $2100\%$

All activities are connected through FS relationships with no lead or lag.

What is the original project duration $($just based on CPM; ignoring resource constraints$)?$

The CPM based project duration is

days.

What's the maximum number of labourer units you require for this project according to the original schedule above?

The maximum number of labourer units required for this project is

$\%.$

Next consider this limitation: All activities are performed in the same work area; however, only a maximum of $2200\%$ labourer units are allowed in the area. This means the original schedule above will not be feasible.

Resolve the resource overallocation following the Least Slack rule $($also known as "The Minimum Slack Rule"$).($ Activities with the most slack are pushed out first.$)$

Make sure you show your calculation steps and explain your reasoning in the solution file that you submit in the context of this assignment.

Calculate the resulting Early Start dates for the activities and enter them below.

What is the new project duration, once the resource overallocation has been resolved?

The new project duration is

days
