question 5 and 6 please

Co Wha which with a play that buttery life site of the houes need to the me details are haud on how the There we specifications are redefined in terms have meaning to the houetractors that will tually make the new cell phone in projects supplier specie product will perform ANALYTICS EXERCISE: PRODUCT DESIGN PROJECT Your work for the handle heen made me for the devil phone. Your phare hay project www.he wurke, and this not you plan the poor et schedule and we projet de Your hom want the schedules his devo more You have been given the information in 13 It includes all the stivities roquel project and the duration of activity. Aluepedende between the activities have been identified Remember that the preceding activity be fully completed before work on the follow ing activity can be started Your project is divided into five major suprojets Suhyroject involves developing specifications for the new cell phone. Here, decisions related to such things The Individual components that make up the product we We focus of subproject Subproject is all the compo Monitogether, and a working prototype is built and seed Finally, in subproject, suppliers are selected and com tractare negotiated Draw a project network that includes all the wctivities 2.

You have been asked to study the impact of making two changes to how the project is organized. The first change involves using dedicated teams that would work strictly in parallel on the activities in each sub- project. For example, in subproject P (product speci. fications) the team would work on P1, P2, P3, and P4 all in parallel. In other words, there would be no pre- cedence relationships within a subproject-all tasks within a subproject would be worked on at the same time and each would take the same amount of time as originally specified. With this new design, all the subprojects would be done sequentially with P done first, then S. D. I. and finally V. What would be the directly with the dedicated teams as This would involve adding an ad subproject P called supplier selo negotiation (PS) with a duration new activity would be done in P3, and P4. Subprojects S and V from the project. What would be on how long it would take to cc this additional change were made 6. Evaluate the impact of making criteria other than just the time ect. Do you think it would be be changes in how the firm runs thi design projects? PRACTICE EXAM 1. A project structured where a self-contained team works full time on the project. 2. Specific events that upon completion mark important 6. Activities that in sequence fom project 7. The difference between the la merr four comnlatim completing the project. Find the activities that are on the critical path for completing the project in the short est time 3. Identify slack in the activities not on the project criti- cal path 4. You have been asked to study the impact of making two changes to how the project is organized. The first change involves using dedicated teams that would work strictly in parallel on the activities in each sub- project. For example, in subproject P (product speci- fications) the team would work on P1, P2, P3, and P4 all in parallel.

With this new design, all the subprojects would be done sequentially with P done first, then S, D, I. and finally V. What would be the expected impact on how long it would take to com- plete the project if this change were made? 5. The second change to consider would be to select the suppliers during subproject P and have them work directly with the dedicated teams as described in step 4. This would involve adding an additional activity to subproject P called supplier selection and contract negotiation (PS) with a duration of 12 weeks. This new activity would be done in parallel with P1, P2. P3, and P4. Subprojects S and V would be eliminated from the project. What would be the expected impact on how long it would take to complete the project if this additional change were made? 6. Evaluate the impact of making these changes using criteria other than just the time to complete the proj- ect. Do you think it would be best to try to make these changes in how the firm runs this and future cell phone design projects? ACTICE EXAM
