F $0.00 0 3 $150 3 $150
G $0.00 0 2 $50 2 $50

Use the information contained below to compress one-time unit per move using the least cost method.

Reduce the schedule until you reach the maximum crash point (crash duration) of the network.

For each move identify what activity was crashed and the adjusted total cost.

What is the total crushed cost for the project at the crashing point?

What is the project duration at the crash point?

You have two options:

  • Provide your response here, explain your runs:
    • RUN 1: crashing activity "..." by $"...", new total cost =
    • RUN 2: crashing activity "..." by $"...", new total cost =......etc....
    • RUN 3:
    • RUN 4:
    • RUN 5:
