QUESTION 4(20 Marks) Deerwy Group of Companies has identified the eight activities that need to be performed for the project to be completed. When the project begins, two activities can be simultaneously started: building the internal components for the device (activity A-2 wks) and the modifications necessary for the floor and roof (activity B-3 wks). The construction of the collection stack (activity C-2 wks) can begin when the internal components are completed. Pouring the concrete floor and installation of the frame (activity D-4 wks) can be started as soon as the internal components are completed, and the roof and floor have been modified. After the collection stack has been constructed, two activities can begin: building the high- temperature burner (activity E-4 wks) and installing the pollution control system (activity F-3wks). The air pollution device can be installed (activity G-5 wks) after the concrete floor has been poured, the frame has been installed, and the high-temperature burner has been built. Finally, after the control system and pollution device have been installed, the system can be inspected and tested (activity H-2wks). Considering the project provided, using the critical path method determine the activities that should be prioritised and highlight the shortest time that the project can be completed in.
