For a particular
resource, the required
resource units for each
time period are
annotated on the bar
chart. The total number
of resource units for
each time period can
then be summed and a

Resources are limited per unit of time. We have to decide which activities
can proceed and which ones delayed to satisfy resource availability.
Allocate limited resources such that extension of the original total project
duration is kept to a minimum under the fixed resource availability limit
being imposed.
