The Information needed to solve question 5 is given below. PLEASE HELP!!

question 5: If activity 3 is delayed one week to start by the contractor, what course of action might the project manager consider to finish on time?

Question 5 options:

	Don't worry. Activity 3 is not critical.
	Shift 1 week worth of resources from activity 4 to activity 3
	Nothing can be done. Upgrade the resume and look for another job.
	Start activity 5 one week early
	Move activity 4 ahead of activity 3.
	Install the 25,000 gallon tank instead of the 50,000 gallon tank.

You are president of the FIZZ beverage company, which uses an average of 10,000 gallons (plus or minus 3000 gallons) of high fructose com syrup each day, requiring ten weekly deliveries by 5000-gallon semi tank trucks (FIZZ works five 8-hour shifts per week). The president is considering replacing the semi-truck deliveries with two 25.000-gallon railroad tank cars per week Using labor-hour based costing, it is estimated this will save the company $5000 per week. But FIZZ does not have a rail siding, even though it is right next to a railroad main line. So you have been assigned development of a schedule to build a siding and install a holding tank for the corn syrup. You have the following information: (1) You must contract to build the siding track up to the railroad property line, the railroad company will inspect your track, and then will connect it to the main line and install their own turnout for a one-time total charge of $6000. (2) Because trucks presently unload directly to a 5000-gallon tank on the production line, which is not enough for a railroad tank car, a holding tank must be purchased and installed to hold either 25,000 gallons or 50,000 gallons to unload either one or two railroad tank cars at a time. (3) The only information you have to estimate the new holding tank cost is that the holding tank cost-capacity factor is 0.8 and the present 5000-gallon tank cost $8000 ten years ago (cost index was 124 then, and is 211 now). (4) Under the present system, the syrup-mixer workers monitor the 5000-gallon tank to order a new truck delivery to arrive at the exact time the production tank empties. Truck delivery lead time is 12 a day. (5) Railroad deliveries must be ordered one day in advance, but each tank car could be set out for two days without any penalty. The 5000-gallon production tank would be automatically refilled (500 gallons at a time) from the railroad unloading holding tank. (6) The first railroad order must be made one week in advance. It would cost FIZZ $5000 per week to change the schedule back to truck delivery in there were a delay. (7) Required activities are: Number Activity President's Approval (Nothing starts without this hands-on approval) Obtain County, State, and | EPA approvals Conduct soil tests and contractor prepares track subgrade & drainage Time Wks Zero (instant) 7 weeks Predecessors People Weekly $ None Student's No name added Team & $2800 Lawyers $3000 2 Team & $2800 Contracto $4000 8 weeks 6 weeks Construct unloading building and install unloading pipes & holding tank Team & Contracto $2800 $4000 2 weeks 3 & 4 Contractor lays siding track up to railroad property line Team & Contracto $2800 $4000 1 week Railroad inspects siding and connects it to the main line Tank car delivery is approved so orders can be placed One $6000 payment Team & Railroad Team & Railroad $2800 See -> $2800 1 week Determine the total time and cost (assuming a 5-day, 40-hour week with NO Overtime, and be sure to add the holding tank). Determine the critical path, and which activities have slack. A spreadsheet would be helpful, but is not required. To submit the project, go to the Fizz Railroad Project quiz on D21 und answer the questions; nothing else is required
