Question: Table 1: IT Project Data Activity Normal Duration (Weeks) Normal Cost () Crash Duration (weeks) Crash Cost () unit A-B 5 20,000 2 60,000 20

Table 1: IT Project Data Activity Normal Duration (Weeks) Normal Cost () Crash Duration (weeks) Crash Cost () unit A-B 5 20,000 2 60,000 20 B-C 4 60,000 2 80,000 10 B-D 6 80,000 3 125,000 15 B-E 8 100,000 6 150,000 25 D-F 10 60,000 7 120,000 20 C-F 5 40,000 2 90,000 30 E-F 2 65,000 1 100,000 35 F-G 4 100,000 2 200,000 50 (a) From the above data, generate a project network diagram, analyse what the critical path would be and calculate the project completion time. (15 marks) (b) Based on your answer at (a), this is not in line with the projected schedule. So there is a need to carry out a crash analysis to meet the targeted schedule weeks. Calculate: (i) the most economic crash sequence to achieve this, and on which activities to crash (show all workings and in table format) (ii) the new estimated budget for all the activities of the project (show all workings and in table format).
