Case Study Exercise - Part 4
Instructions: What happens if we limit the electrical resources installing sockets, lights and TV cables to 2 people, instead of 3?
Case Study Exercise - Part 5
Instructions: By limiting the resources to 2 one of the tasks must be moved to the right - probably "install TV cables". This will extend the project by 2
days.
If the two electrical resources were to work overtime then it may be possible to recover these two days and install the TV cables during weeks 1 to 8.
