Schedule the project described in the following table, subject to a resource constraint of 16 men. Any man can work on any task. For a given job, any crew size within, and including, the stated limits may be selected, if it is exactly divisible into the resource requirement. ( For example, job b requires 24 mandays. A crew size of 2, 3, 4, or 6 is permissable, but not 5 ). Crew sizes do not effect efficiency. The schedule length is to be minimized within the given resource LIMIT and keeping the technological constraints ( the ordering of Tasks) unaltered. Find the number of idle man-days.

Task	Immediate Predecessor	Resource Requirements (man-days)	Range of Permissable Crew Sizes
			Minimum	Maximum
A	--	45	5	15
B	A	24	2	6
C	A	96	4	12
D	A	50	2	10
E	D	30	2	10
F	C	60	4	12
G	C	12	1	6
H	B	35	5	7
I	F	42	3	14
J	G, E	24	3	8
K	I, J	20	2	10
