Instructions: Months $123456789$

When creating a "bar" to represent a Task Duration, shade the square in as follows: Task $1(3$ months$)$ You can fill squares with shading, or

In this simplistic schedule, we are leaving the linking arrows off. Task $2(2$ months$)$ X X You can fill squares with large Xs$,$ or

We will assume tasks proceed from predecessor to successor. Task $3(4$ months$)$ You can fill squares with scribbling.

Double check your shading of boxes to confirm no errors.

$1.$ Arrange Tasks and Key Milestones in sequential order.

Place the following tasks in sequential order for a typical project. Hint: See textbook by Dykstra, Chapter $4,$ for the project process and stages.

Then identify where the key Milestones are to be placed. Refer back to prior lectures on process.

Tasks$/$Stages from Dykstra $($NOT in sequential order$)$: Write Tasks In Sequential Order Below:

Construction

Programming & Design

Project Feasibility

Pre$-$Construction $1.$

Close$-$out & Occupancy

Bidding & Negotiation $2.$

Milestone Events $($NOT in sequential order$)$: $3.$

Substantial Completion

Start of Construction $4.$

The $"$GO$"$ Decision

Final Completion $5.$

Zoning Approval

$6.$

$2.$ Construct a typical bar schedule for a building project.

Assumptions:

a$.$ All tasks are Finish$-$to$-$Start linkages

b$.$ There is no "overlapping" tasks $($no fast track$)$

c$.$ Assume one square in the grid equals one month of time

$1234567891011121314151617181920212223242526272829303132$

Acquisition is $2$ months

Design is $5$ months

Construction is $17$ months

Write Milestone Events Below and Draw an Arrow Pointing To Its Location

in the Left Column Between Tasks.

Example Task: Search for a site.

Example Event: Find a development site to acquire.

d$.$ Durations for various tasks are as follows: months

$3.$ Construct a typical bar schedule for a building project.

Assumptions:

a$.$ All tasks are Finish$-$to$-$Start linkages

b$.$ There are no "overlapping" tasks $($no Fast Tracking$)$

c$.$ Assume one square in the grid equals one month of time

$1234567891011121314151617181920212223242526272829303132333435$

$1.$ Acquisition is $2$ months

$2.$ Schematic design is $1$ month

$3.$ Zoning is $2$ months

$4.$ Design Development is $2$ months

$5.$ Construction Documents is $3$ months

$6.$ Building Permit is $2$ months

$7.$ Construction is $16$ months

$8.$ Final Completion and Occupancy is $1$ month

$4.$ The Owner would like to "accelerate" the project schedule $($from problem $3$ above$)$ and is interested in the use of the "Fast Track" method to save time.

Draw a hypothetical schedule using Fast Track to shorten the overall duration by as many months as possible, given the assumptions & restrictions below:

Assumptions:

a$.$ All tasks are Finish$-$to$-$Start linkages, except "fast$-$tracked" tasks may be overlapped $($not finish$-$to$-$start$).$

b$.$ Assumed restrictions to fast tracking:

The later half of Acquisition can be overlapped with the successor task.

Design Development can start when halfway into the Zoning task.

The first half of Permitting can be overlapped with Construction Documents.

The Construction task includes one month of demolition of existing structures on site, which can be overlapped with the predecessor task.

The general contractor has found a way to reduce Construction by one month to $15$ months in total.

No other tasks can be fast tracked.

c$.$ Assume one square in the grid equals one month of time

Acquisition is $2$ months

Schematic design is $1$ month

Zoning is $2$ months

Design Development is $2$ month

Construction Documents is $3$ months

Building Permit is $2$ months

Construction is $15$ months

Final Completion and Occupancy is $1$ month

f$.$ Question: By how many months can the overall schedule be shortened from the schedule in problem $3($above$)?$

d$.$ Durations for various tasks are as follows: months
